What Makes Us the Standard

This was my first experience with selling my unwanted jewelery. I’m happy to say it was a great experience & a pleasure working with the gold standard.
Exceptionally professional manner from my salesperson. A great experience. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to get some cash for broken, unwanted jewelry
Having to sell my jewelry in order to pay taxes was a humiliating experience for me. Kevin was very kind and understanding and made an extremely difficult situation easier.
I walked in expecting some sort of “pawn shop” atmosphere but I was pleasantly surprised that it was more of an office setting then anything
