Some jewelry buyers take your jewelry out of your sight to "clean" it or "inspect" it, while other jewelry buyers have you mail them your jewelry. With David your jewelry never leaves your sight, not even for one second, the entire evaluation process is done While-U-Watch, removing any possibility that your jewelry or diamonds could be switched. You will always meet with David personally, and he buys and pays immediately. There are no games, no gimmicks, no nonsense. 

Most consumers have never sold jewelry or diamonds before, so they often wonder how it works. First, you call or text David to make an appointment as he does not take walk-ins, this way he can give you his full attention with complete privacy. Then he will explain every detail about your jewelry that affects its value, and David will tell you the maximum value that your jewelry can be sold for.  That's it, straightforward and simple.

Thermo Scientific Niton DXL

Advanced XRF Gold Tester

David has the Thermo Scientific Niton DXL Advanced XRF Gold Tester, which gives the exact gold content of your jewelry without damaging it.

Nearly every gold buyer uses the inexpensive $50 "scratch acid test", meaning they damage your jewelry by scraping it or filing it down to test it with acid, which gives only a rough approximation of the actual gold content.

The $21,750 Niton DXL Advanced XRF Gold Tester provides a digital readout of the exact gold content of your jewelry in seconds without even touching it, and you get to see the results for yourself while watching your jewelry the whole time through the window on the device.

The Thermo Scientific Niton DXL Advanced XRF Gold Tester is the most accurate gold testing device available.
