I went to two stores directly at the street level on 47th street and they did not give me the time of day. So i decided on truval after searching on google. At Truval i talked to Steve and although he said it was not a desirable piece, he purchased it from me for a fair price. I felt respected and was treated like a great customer even though it was small sale. Thank you Steve!!! read less

Despite the fact that I needed to reschedule a number of times, Schlomi made room for me in his schedule, took the time to discuss the ins and outs of how he appraised my ring, matched the price of another appraisal I’d received and even beat the terms. On a later visit, Steve made the final transaction easy and was a pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend TruVal, and will certainly keep them in my Rolodex. read less

I had a great experience working with the resources at TruVal. They help me to sell a perfectly good diamond ring for a fair price. Thank you for all that you do!

So I put it off for 2 years. Somehow I found this place and made a phone call. The receptionist was very calm and nice, easy to talk to, while I was waiting I had a chat with her and she took my fear away. And I met Shlomi, he evaluated my diamond ring. He was very nice, fast decision and honest. And he gave me the price that I requested. I am very satisfied, thank you very much for such a nice experience! read less

This is the first time I have sold gold or silver, and felt quite intimidated in the Diamond District, even after selecting businesses based on good reviews. I ended up selling my jewelry at TruVal, however, because they stood out from all the other firms I visited in every way: polite reception, clear communication, very fair prices, fast payment, and low pressure. Highly recommended! 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 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

Steve and Shlomi were patient, professional and extremely helpful. They were careful to explain the steps they took in making their assessments and taught me a lot about diamonds and the different types of gold. I also liked the privacy of their office and the courtesy extended by everyone there. It ended up being fun as well as profitable! I plan to return and do future sales to Truval. I didn't have an appointment on my first visit but they took the time (as evening approached!) to look at what I brought and give me an initial estimate. I did make my second appointment and was impressed when I received an email confirmation and a follow-up reminder. While this professionalism used to be assumed, today it is extraordinary and added to my comfort in doing business with Truval.Cheryl F. read less

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!

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.

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

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

My husband and I made an appointment with Steve for last week and he took us promptly when we came in. We laid out a dozen older pieces of gold and platinum jewely that ive collected over the years and no longer have a place in modern style. I also wanted to sell a diamond that i inherited from an estate. After a 20 minute evaluation of everything, we got an offer 30% higher then we expected so we didnt even feel the need to negotiate!

Truval's online appointment process is fantastic, and once you arrive and meet the staff, the experience gets even better. For the sale, I met with Shlomi. I could write volumes about how wonderful, professional, knowledgeable, and generous with his time this man is. I (thought I) have learned a lot about fine jewelry since I bought those first diamonds in the Caribbean many years ago. I didn't realize how little I knew then.

It turns out the diamonds I wanted to sell were of little value to a wholesaler (they are horribly included - Shlomi lent me the loup to inspect them, and they were a disaster! Never buy a diamond without looking the stone for yourself. NEVER.). Shlomi offered me suggestions on what I might do instead with the stones.

Meanwhile, with the studs I was wearing, he educated me beyond the 4 C's on how to evaluate a diamond. And because they had the time and the right personnel in house, I was able to secure the appraisal for those stones before I left Truval. I cannot thank them enough for fitting me in for this service, unscheduled.

While I did not leave with what I went in for, and I didn't sell my old earrings, I feel like I left with even more value because of the education and time Shlomi gifted me. There is no doubt that Truval will be my only stop in the future if I need to sell a piece or have something appraised. And next time I am in the market to make a purchase, I will make Big Apple Jewels (their sister business) my last stop to shop! read less

They were very fair and trustworthy. I think this should be your only stop if you are looking to sell/purchase jewelry/diamonds. I will definitely be back.

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 six offers and figured why not, boy am I glad I did that!

I met with Mr. 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 my diamond right in front of me. 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

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! He is a “diamond in the rough” among so many dealers in the NYC Diamond district. I learned a lot in my dealings down there. Mostly - I will never deal with anyone else but Truval in the future!

Both were professional, personable and made the experience very pleasant. They offered me a very fair price, especially since one of the diamonds was chipped, and were very good about explaining their valuations. Shlomi took extra time to value three rings and a watch that I had been given by my grandmother. I highly recommend Truval if you want to sell your jewelry! read less

I looked online for the most reputable Jewlery/diamond buyers in NYC and made a list to visit 4 of them. 2. Visited 2 different buyers before coming to Truval (Looking for the best offer) I had a number in my head, but we all do and most of the time never get. Neither one of the previous buyers explained to me the quality of the diamond stone I was about to sell. The diamond I was selling was GIA certified so Shlomi checked the diamond on the site and looked for its real retail price under the characteristics of the stone I had. 3. I was told by the previous buyers that the engagement ring and wedding band I was about to sell where not going to be able to sell for more than "x" amount of money. Well, these two guys did have some close numbers so I figured they were close to be right. BUT, the guys that told me this did not check with as much detail the diamond stone from the engagement ring I was selling like Shlomi did, ALSO, Shlomi did not take the stone off from the setting!!!. Conclusion; I ended up getting more money with Truval than what these previous Jewlery buyers I saw offered to me. 4. I got a check right away, they were very kind, respectful, personable and even funny. I had no attachments to the diamond rings I was selling and an specific plan with the money I was getting from the sell, so for me, going to Truval and leaving their office with a nice check in my pocket was as wonderful as spending Christmas Day at a paradisiac island. PS; My original idea was to sell these diamond pieces to the jeweler that made them, but after meeting Steve, Shlomi and Zak, seeing the way they work, how professional and honest they are about the "buying / selling" prices in the current market, I doubt that I will be shopping and even selling my stuff anywhere else in the future but at Truval. Looking forward seeing these guys soon again! Thanks again Shlomi you are truly amazing!!! read less
