I had dealt with an unscrupulous buyers I have dealt with auction houses (very high commission) and other buyers through the years) so believe me I did my research! TruVal is where I will go to in future! Steve was amazing and actually I got more for my gold than I thought I would! I know that might sound suspect but I know that when you look online at the value of something you have to take in to account that the buyers have to store the item/items insure and do a lot of other stuff, so you will never get what it says online! So having worked out what I thought would be fair price I was schooled when Steve offered me way more! Also there was no pressure, which so buyers will exert in order to seal the deal!So please if you have to sell your fine jewelry, silver or gold go to Steve at truVal read less

I had a very gratifying experience and walked home with a check in hand. The generally "bad press" associated with jewelry buyers does not apply here.. I have no hesitation in recommending Truval to anyone wanting to sell jewelry; in fact, I look forward to doing additional business with them. Top of the line team. 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

However basis experience with Tru Val snd Steve Madar I can honestly say he is professional and straightforward, giving a clear value for purchase, where he can, or even a range and effort to sell, with advice before completion, where he cannot. From trying various alternatives, it is often a value you can live with and go ahead and make the transaction and not feel cheated, having seen others make lower passing attempts/quotes for a "Steal." While some may reject the word honest for a jewelry purchaser I can warrant that from my experience Steve n Tru Vale are fair and honest jewelry buyers, you really can't ask for more than that! read less

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.

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. He sorted through all my gold and silver jewelry separating the 14 karat from the 18 karat and items that had stones or pearls in them and gave me a price. I felt that I was treated very fairly. I’ve been back two times and highly recommend Truval. read less

Appointments are made and confirmed online. Specialist, Steve takes extra care to examine pieces using metal tests which he cross checks with sophisticated computer programs.

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!

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.

It became obvious why. Totally professional interaction with Steve from the initial phone call until I exited. All takes place in a real office, not the typical booth manned by impatient or rude salespeople. I never felt rushed or pressured and explanations were provided as to how values for various items were arrived at. A first class experience resulting in what I thought was a fair purchase price for my items.

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

They are wonderfully professional and thorough, providing very fair and competitive pricing.

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

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

I sold several old sterling silver items to Truval. The transactions was fast and fair. Pleasant experience and highly recommended.

My husband and I were and still ignorant when it comes to precious metals, silver in particular. We had looked up Truval, checked the company as well we could and found favorable accounts of other people’s experiences. So, we took our $984.00 ( bought in 1983!) of junk silver coins to Steve as we wished to cash them in. Before we began, Steve was more than accommodating as he explained their business, how long they were in business, how long he’s been working in it and what junk coins were. He entertained us with many stories and also all the differences between what we had and 100% silver coins. His knowledge was extensive. He was honest with his recommendations re: the worth of our silver in today’s market and was generous in his accounting . I highly recommend Truval and specifically Steve. You will not be disappointed. Sincerely, read less
