The office is on the 6th floor of a real high rise vs. being on the street, and you can even book an appt online. I met with Steve, who gave me a very fair price for my gold bracelet and was even nice enough to explain the test did he did to see what karat it was. I will be back next time I have jewelry to sell! read less

I decided to go to Truval to sell a few jewelry I have kept for a long time and I did not use them. Steve explained to me about every piece of jewelry and made me feel very confident. He was very polite and understandable. I am very satisfied with the sale of my jewelry and I received a fair price and money. I recommend Truval 100%. read less

Many thanks to the staff at Truval for providing a comfortable, educational and warm environment in which to do business. Schlomi was gifted in evaluating my piece and extended his depth of knowledge to me during the process. He had respect for my heart and demonstrated a sincere consideration for his other customers and staff while I was there. At Truval’s suggestion, I took my piece to the GIA Institute to have it graded and documented. When that process was complete, I returned to Truval and sold my piece to them with confidence. I feel I got a very fair deal, an education and a place to do business in the future. I would return to them in a heartbeat! Thank you Shlomi and Steve! Go to Truval! read less

They follow up with you every step. Zak and Steve are very nice and very helpful. I shopped around and got the different quotes for my diamond, not to mention which other 3 companies you could find on Google. As far as I concerned, Truval gave me the fair price and gave me more than the others. If you don't believe me, please shop around for the quote then decide!!! They will never give you maximum price they estimate, but you have to accept that because you always lose the value after you purchase it, just like a car. You will be happier than selling to the retailer.... read less

I did my research and chose Truval based on other reviews and maybe a little intuition. I was not disappointed in the least. The atmosphere in the office is very calm and organized. I was greeted by a pleasant receptionist and only waited a few moments before I sat down with Steve. What a knowledgeable and likeable person! I felt during the entire appointment that he was genuinely interested in anything I had to say or question and felt that he was extremely fair in his assessment of the items that I brought in. All in all I would definitely recommend working with Steve at Truval. read less

I went to Steve to value some jewelry. He is patient, knowledgable and offers a very fair price. You can be rest assured you are in the right hands.

Mr. Steve assisted me in the mailing process of my jewelry and gave me a more then fair price for the items I sent them.

It was a pleasure working with TruVal and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell there items. A key factor to me was that they are a BBB participant with a A rating.

And the turn around time from the time they received my jewelry to the time I accepted there offer was minimal.

Great place to do business with.

Steve carefully went through every single piece of random jewelry I brought in for evaluation. Nothing I had was unworthy of his time. I went to one other place prior to Steve at Truval, and I'm so happy I waited to meet with them. I walked away a very happy customer. Highly recommend.

Steve is very knowledgeable and also very transparent. He gave me a thorough evaluation and rational explanation for his pricing for each piece which is hard to find. Having gone to many appraisers and buyers in the past, he gave me the fairest prices (considering their cost value) out of all of them. I will definitely go back in the future and would recommend Truval to anyone seeking a secure and credible buyer. Thank you Truval! read less

He also had one of his diamond experts on hand and he took another piece to a rare coin expert, so I would have no doubts on the value. I had researched for days and since this was my first time selling our jewelry, I wanted to make sure it was the best place. In fact, I will be going back in a couple weeks ! I will continue to do business with Truval. read less

I know that Yelp reviews can be manipulated (one of the other places had a computer in their lobby telling customers that if they gave them positive Yelp review, that they would get an immediate 10% discount!) so I am always skeptical, even with a good Yelp rating. Still, I decided to check out TruVal as I figured I had nothing to lose.

I did not have an appointment and I met with Zak and he was genuinely a pleasure to work with. He gave me a price on my rings that was 2.5x the other offers and I accepted it without negotiating the price. First, he told me what the rings were worth and then what he would pay. I also had some gold and silver necklaces to sell, which they purchased as well, also giving me a very fair price. Note: I understand that they do take appointments so if you know you are stopping by, it may make sense to make an appointment first.

I know that it is so easy to get ripped off by jewelers, especially if you are like me and know very little about jewelry. If you have anything to sell, you can go elsewhere to get a few prices to compare but always go here afterward and you will be shocked at what they will offer and the probability of you being lowballed elsewhere. For me, the difference was quite significant, like I said earlier, 2.5x!

I will definitely be back here. read less

He is knowledgeable and has a very nice way about him.

Very trustworthy, kind, clear, and professional. Highly recommended! read less

It was overwhelming to think about finding the right person, but I decided based on the great reviews that Truval was my choice. The office was a little surprising- I was expecting a large store with lots of jewelry and watches for sale. But I think it's part of why Truval is so great- they focus on you, the seller, and there wasn't a bunch of retail business going on in the background to distract us- I felt very safe and secure. Steve was wonderful- he has a soft and reassuring way about him, and is careful to explain all the parts of the purchasing process. Even on items that I felt should have a higher price, Steve took the time to explain the market and why he can't pay what I was expecting, and I knew he was telling the truth and not at all trying to take extra money from me. Very fair and good pricing. I would especially recommend if you are a woman to choose Steve and Truval- I thinks it's easier for the ladies to be taken advantage of in this gold and jewelry buying business. All the other stores in the diamond district made me feel very uncomfortable. I felt trusting and comfortable around Steve. We talked about the importance of our families and our kids. He also has a wonderful man named Shlomi who specializes especially in diamonds, and I felt that I was given a fair appraisal and price for my items. The payment process was quick and easy, no gimmicks and nothing off at all. Highly recommend giving Steve at Truval a call. read less

I was selling a number of pieces of gold and other jewelry after the passing of a loved one. First off, the office is very safe and secure. It is located on an upper floor of an office building, so you feel safer when walking out than you would if you were selling to one of the retail stores at street level. Steve and his colleagues were very friendly, and I felt no pressure at all to sell. He took his time to inspect and test each and every piece, even stuff I thought was worthless, and offered me an extremely fair price for the gold jewelry--so much so that I accepted his offer on the spot without even haggling for more. He was also extremely respectful of my decisions with respect to the few pieces I decided not to sell right away. In fact, he made such a good impression that when another buyer from whom I sought a second opinion offered me a similar price for certain pieces the next day, I decided to go back to Steve to sell those pieces too. Steve and Truval will be my go-to jewelers from now on! read less

At Truwal, I set up a 15 min appointment with Steve. I felt welcomed and it was done in a private office setting . Not some kiosk where a hundred jewlers are staring at you and pressuring you for business.  I felt comfortable with the prices that were offered and trusted that my business was valued.

He immediately made me feel secure and that I could trust him. He told me the truth about the marketability of my piece and helped me find the best price!

Going to an impartial appraiser confirmed how outrageous the first 2 experiences were. He gave me the knowledge and confidence to get a fair price. It was then that I showed up without an appointment at Truval. Steve has a pleasant demeanor and is not pushy. He clearly has experience and has learned to harness it in a way that creates a comfortable setting. Steve offered a fair price for most items. When I felt the offer was not enough, I would counter and Steve would go to where he was comfortable. No hard feelings if we didn’t come to a meeting of the minds. Overall, I feel that I had a 5 star experience. I would go back again and if I did, I might hold firm on certain items. It is important to remember that sales is an art form, employing strategies to get the best price. No doubt I am no match for Steve, but he never makes you feel like you are anything but an equal and respected client. Thanks Steve for bringing some class to your industry. read less

I had some diamond and gold jewelry to sell, which I no longer wear. I was suppose to meet with Steve, but I was late and met with Shlomi instead. He was warm and welcoming, and made me feel at ease immediately. It can be a very difficult task to find an honest and professional jewelry specialist, especially in New York's Diamond District. Shlomi explained the value of each item I was selling and offered me the best price, with absolutely no pressure at all. I got to meet Steve too, and had a wonderful interaction with him as well. I would highly reccommend Shlomi and Steve to anyone looking to purchase or sell jewelry. Very kind, honest, and professional gentlemen. Great energy and vibe. I give my experience 5-stars!

This is the type of place I actually hope for when looking for the absolute best prices. I will recommend him to anyone. Swell guy. U don't find that too much. I was impressed.

Truval's online appointment system is easy to use -- we got an appointment for the next day. You have to get through the gauntlet of solicitation along 47th St. Diamond District, so it is nice to do business in a doorman building and quieter, 6th-floor surroundings. We would happily use Truval again.

I had such a great experience working with Steve on selling a piece of jewelry! Pleasant and professional. Will definitely be going back!

valuables through such a service or outlet .my overall experience was

better than expected and truly a 5 star experience. initially when

referred by a close friend i went in with a guard up just to see what i

can get on my ex's ring that i was dying to get rid of, i just couldn't

look at it any more.. i was ready to take a loss (which was pretty

apparent ,but they still didn't take advantage of me or situation )

from the second i walked in i was totally " wow'd " they appraised my

ex's Audimars Piguet 25% more than it was assessed for anywhere else..

that kinda got me off guard, and i right away thought that there must

be a catch, i wanted to think about it and look at all my options.

surprisingly they were ok with that, and even though they had my contact

information there were no sales calls no pushy sales tactics. i came

back in on my own and took them up on the offer that they offered to

me. they paid upfront and sealed the deal.. i do plan on going back not

only to sell jewelry that i may have, but also they had a beautiful

Rolex president in pristine cosmetic shape with all paper work and

original box on display that id love to buy myself. really top notch

service, trustworthy good people. would recommend to everyone i know

and whoever i dont know too. i usually don't write reviews but in this

case, I feel i have to. Awesome read less

Well you are in luck because I personally had a very sentimental piece of jewelry that I thought I would never sell in a million years however; after a heavy thought process about selling my item (which honestly represents something different to me nowadays) coupled with needing the extra monetary assistance, I came to peace with selling my item however; I did not want to go to just "any" place.

I have always been skeptical about visiting places where people sell jewelry and or diamonds because a lot of the times people surround those areas and walk up to you in the street and ask questions about buying and selling which can in return make a person feel quite nervous. As I decided to sell my item I did a search online and found 5 different businesses to visit. Upon reading the reviews the company that had the very best reviews was Truval.

After reading the glowing reviews I visited their website and was even more astonished at how detailed, professional and easy their website was to use. Their website is very precise when it explains that they have "expert diamond buyers" along with the fact that the customer "can sell with confidence" and be "offered the highest payout guaranteed". I was also very impressed with how the website explained the three simple steps to the selling process and then gave me the option to actually book an appointment. Everything was simple, clean cut, quick and easy which is exactly what a customer would want when they decide to sell their jewelry.

The magic does not stop there because once I made the call to Truval, I immediately spoke to a live person whose name is Steve and he was very accommodating in booking an appointment for me and even sent me a reminder email and text in regards to the location, date and time of my appointment. Once I entered the office I was greeted by a very beautiful, friendly as well as accommodating receptionist who not only offered me water but actually poured it in a glass for me. I felt like royalty. The office is very clean, bright, friendly and professional. My wait was not long at all. Once I met with Steve I told him a little history about the item I was selling and a little bit about me and to my surprise he didn't try to rush me or focus only on the item I was selling, he actually took the time to listen to me and even shared alittle about him and the company which made me feel even more comfortable because at that point I realized I was not just another customer I was valued and treated like a person. Because of that I wouldn't hesitate to visit Truval again in the event that I ever wanted to sell and or purchase another quality item.

Steve was very honest in his appraisal, gave me several options and allowed me to decide which option I felt was the best. I didn't feel rushed, coerced or that I was being taken advantage of in any way, shape or form and we came to a very fair agreement that I felt very comfortable with.

I am very pleased that I chose to sell my jewelry at Truval. I highly recommend this prestigious company and if you or anyone you know are looking for a professional, friendly, inviting and honest company to sell or buy the very best quality of jewelry then I implore you to run...not walk, to Truval where you're not just a customer...you are a valued individual. read less

The fellow that assisted me (Shlomi) was friendly and not pushy. He appraised my jewelry items, including items that I accidentally added to the items I intended to sell which I felt had no value. I am happy I did because Shlomi discovered that some of them were gold :)

He explained the details of their appraisal process and how they come up with the value. He also appraised a few diamond jewelry pieces for me that I wanted to value but not sell. The staff at TRUVAL is transparent and informative. I am happy to recommend TRUVAL to anyone. read less

When I brought the flatware in, I met Shlomo, who took the time to review everything I had and to answer all of my questions.  On my second visit, I met Steve Madar, the resident expert in flatware.  He was just as patient and thorough and knowledgeable.  

If you're looking for a place to sell your jewels, jewelry, flatware ... this is the place to go.  The entire staff is wonderful. read less

Navigating through the dozens of buyers is no easy task and I made it a point to gain some insight as to who are the more reputable buyers by reading reviews on Yelp and putting these buyers to the test. One quick lesson learned is that if you had something appraised you should not expect anything near that price from a diamond buyer, appraisal's are for "retail replacement value and for insurance purposes", that's beside the fact that these jewelers need to earn a living.

All of the reputable "buyers" I visited seem to have the same fugazi tactics, from telling me my diamond is out of style to asking me how much I want. If I knew how much i wanted I would not be asking for an offer! The offers I received ranged considerably which left me frustrated but more knowelgable about my diamonds value. I decided to take lunch before finalizing a deal and that's when a friend referred me to TRUVAL! At this point I already had three offers and figured why not, boy am i glad i did that!

I met with Shlomi Shlomo at their buying facility, it's located upstairs which I prefer as it keeps my business dealings more discrete. Working with Shlomi was truly a pleasure, I could tell right away that he was forthcoming, honest and a real diamond expert. He's also a gemologist and diamond cutter with all the tools he needs to assess your jewels right in front of you. He took the time to explain what factors affect the price of my diamond in a friendly and educated manner. I know he was telling the truth because I spoke with 6 other jewelry buyers before meeting with him. The biggest difference was their approach to buying, my previous stops all calculated a price and tried to make unnecessary small talk. At Truval shlomi explained to me how he evaluates the potential to recut my diamond to improve its cut, clarity and even color. He even showed me a princess cut that he recut to a cushion shape! Finally he made me an educated offer based on real world market values which exceeded any previous offer I received from the fugazi establishments I visited earlier.

What makes Truval special is that they are not greedy like the rest of the unethical competition in the district. If you have any needs to sell jewelry make sure to visit them first or last, either way you'll be glad you did! read less

Not only did they repair my jewelry but they helped me in making some important decisions in selling jewelry for the best possible value. In addition, this is in a private office setting where you get to sit down and discuss your options without the pressure and harassment of normal jewelry stores in the area. Whether you need to buy, sell or repair these are the right guys to help you. I will most certainly be returning.

I went to several places but I felt very comfortable and got the best price at Truval with Zak and Shlomi. None of the others took the time to listen to my concerns and were quick to offer their prices. I'm very impressed with the level of service that Truval provides and I would recommend them for any diamond buying or selling needs.
