Gold Buyers & Jewelry Buyers
in Boca Raton

David Stern Jewelers is currently paying the highest prices for gold in South Florida, backed by over 40 years of trusted service in the Boca Raton community. Unlike pawn shops that typically offer only 30-50% of gold value, we consistently pay 75-85% or more of the current market value based on live gold spot prices. What truly sets us apart is our ongoing bonus program: you receive an additional $300 for every $5,000 in gold you sell to us. This means when you sell $5,000 worth of gold, you walk away with $5,300—when you sell $10,000, you receive $10,600, and so on. Our pricing advantage comes from our business model as full-service jewelers with multiple revenue streams including custom design, repairs, and retail sales. We use real-time market pricing updated throughout the day, advanced XRF testing technology, and we'll show you the current gold spot price on our computer screen so you can verify you're getting fair value. Our transparent approach and commitment to customer satisfaction have made us the preferred choice for thousands of South Florida families when they need to sell gold, diamonds, or luxury jewelry.

As comprehensive jewelry buyers in Boca Raton, we purchase virtually every type of precious metal and luxury jewelry imaginable. For gold, we accept all karats—10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, and 24k—in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. We buy gold jewelry in any condition including broken, tangled, or damaged pieces, single earrings without their mate, dental gold, gold coins and bullion such as American Gold Eagles and Krugerrands, and gold bars from recognized refiners. Beyond gold, we purchase sterling silver jewelry and flatware, platinum jewelry, diamond jewelry with certified and uncertified diamonds, loose diamonds of all sizes, and gemstone jewelry featuring sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and precious stones. We specialize in designer jewelry from prestigious brands like Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, and David Yurman, as well as luxury watches from Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, and Breitling. We're also active buyers of estate jewelry, vintage jewelry (20-100 years old), antique jewelry (over 100 years old), and pearl jewelry including South Sea, Tahitian, and Akoya cultured pearls. Even if you're unsure whether your items have value, bring them in for a free evaluation—our experienced jewelry buyers in Boca Raton can assess everything from a single piece to an entire estate collection.

Our gold buying process is designed to be transparent, secure, and educational. When you visit our Boca Raton showroom—walk-ins are always welcome, no appointment necessary—you'll meet with one of our experienced jewelry buyers in a private evaluation area where your jewelry remains in your sight throughout the entire process. We use advanced XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) spectroscopy technology to determine exact metal content without any destructive testing, then weigh your items on certified precision scales accurate to 0.01 grams. We'll show you the current live gold spot price on our computer and calculate your offer using the formula: spot price × purity percentage × weight, typically offering 75-85% or more of the gold value. Throughout the process, we explain every step, answer all questions, and provide detailed breakdowns of how we arrived at our offer. For designer pieces, we factor in additional value for brand provenance and collector appeal. If your sale totals $5,000 or more, you'll receive our $300 bonus for each $5,000 increment. You're under no obligation to accept—we encourage you to take time to consider or compare with other jewelry buyers. If you accept, we provide immediate payment in your preferred form: cash, business check, or bank wire transfer. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the number of items being evaluated

Pawn shops are primarily lenders, not jewelers—they typically offer only 30-50% of actual gold value because they lack gemological expertise and need large profit margins to cover high-risk lending operations. Online gold buyers present even greater risks: you must ship your valuable jewelry to strangers, wait weeks for payment while your items are out of your possession, and many sellers report receiving far lower offers than expected with no transparency in the evaluation process. By that time, items may have been melted down or "lost," and you may never see them again if you reject the offer. David Stern Jewelers operates as a full-service jewelry store with certified gemologists and over 40 years of reputation in the Boca Raton community. Your jewelry never leaves your sight during evaluation, we use professional XRF testing equipment, show you live gold prices, and provide immediate payment when you accept. Our expertise in designer jewelry, luxury watches, and estate pieces means we recognize value that less experienced buyers miss. We're part of this community with a vested interest in your satisfaction—our business depends on fair dealing, word-of-mouth referrals, and repeat business, which is why we're currently paying the highest prices for gold in South Florida with our ongoing $300 bonus for every $5,000 sold.

No appointment is necessary—walk-ins are always welcome at David Stern Jewelers during our regular business hours. We understand that the decision to sell gold or jewelry often happens spontaneously, and we want to make the process as convenient as possible for busy South Florida residents. However, if you have an extensive collection, particularly valuable items, or prefer guaranteed private time with our evaluators, we're happy to schedule appointments. Scheduled appointments ensure we can dedicate uninterrupted time to your needs, which can be especially beneficial for estate jewelry collections or when you want to discuss consignment or custom redesign alternatives to selling. The evaluation process typically takes 15-30 minutes for most transactions, depending on the number and complexity of items. Simple items like gold chains can be evaluated in just a few minutes, while designer pieces, jewelry with significant gemstones, or luxury watches may take 30-60 minutes for proper authentication and assessment. Once you accept our offer, payment is immediate—cash for smaller transactions, business checks or bank wire transfers for larger amounts. Unlike online buyers that take weeks for payment, working with local jewelry buyers in Boca Raton means you have cash in hand before you leave our showroom.

Evaluating designer jewelry and luxury watches requires specialized expertise beyond simply weighing gold content—it's a key area where experienced jewelry buyers in Boca Raton provide substantially higher offers than generic gold buyers. When you bring designer pieces from brands like Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Harry Winston, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we first authenticate using our reference library, brand-specific guides, and decades of experience examining hallmarks, serial numbers, and construction techniques. We then evaluate intrinsic value using XRF testing for metals and gemological assessment for stones, but designer jewelry typically sells for significantly more than material value alone. We research current secondary market prices through our collector network and auction results—for example, a Cartier Love bracelet might contain $2,000 in gold but sell for $4,000-$5,000 or more depending on condition. For luxury watches from Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, and other Swiss manufacturers, we verify authenticity by examining serial numbers, movement quality, and dial characteristics, then assess condition including crystal clarity, bracelet stretch, and functionality. We research current market values using specialized watch pricing databases for your specific model and year. Original boxes, papers, and service records can increase luxury watch values by 20-40% or more. Condition significantly impacts values—well-preserved pieces command premium prices while heavily worn items sell closer to gold value. Our honest assessment ensures you understand whether your piece will attract collector pricing or makes more sense to sell for precious metal content.

While documentation isn't required to sell your gold and jewelry to David Stern Jewelers, bringing relevant paperwork can significantly increase the value we're able to offer, particularly for designer jewelry, luxury watches, and high-quality diamond pieces. Original packaging like authentic boxes, pouches, and presentation cases can command 15-25% more in the resale market—a Tiffany ring in its iconic blue box or a Rolex with original green case is worth substantially more than the same item without packaging. Purchase receipts from the original jeweler provide proof of authenticity, while certificates and grading reports from GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or AGS (American Gem Society) provide independent verification of diamond characteristics, eliminating uncertainty and supporting premium pricing. For luxury watches, original warranty cards, service records, and chronometer certificates add significant value by documenting service history and authenticity. Professional appraisals, even if outdated, provide helpful historical information and detailed descriptions. For estate or inherited jewelry, any family history, photographs of previous owners wearing the pieces, or documentation about the jewelry's origin can enhance both monetary and historical value. Even if you don't have formal documentation, bring anything you have—our experienced team can work with whatever information is available to provide you with the highest possible offer for your precious items.

Absolute confidentiality and security are paramount in all transactions at David Stern Jewelers. We understand that selling jewelry often involves sensitive circumstances—divorce, financial hardship, estate liquidation, or life transitions—and we treat every client with respect and dignity regardless of their situation. All evaluations occur in private consultation areas away from public view, ensuring your business remains completely confidential. Our professional staff is trained to handle sensitive situations with discretion, and we never discuss client transactions outside of our secure facility. Your privacy is protected at every step of the process. Our security measures protect both you and us throughout the buying process. Our facility features surveillance systems that document all interactions for your protection, secure payment methods including cash, check, or wire transfer, and insurance coverage that protects your jewelry while in our possession. Your jewelry remains in your sight throughout the evaluation process, and you maintain complete control over whether to accept our offers. We're a licensed, established business with over 40 years in the Boca Raton community, providing accountability that anonymous online services or transient buyers cannot match. When you work with reputable jewelry buyers in Boca Raton like David Stern Jewelers, you're choosing a safe, secure, and completely confidential selling experience.

Preparing to sell your gold and jewelry doesn't require extensive effort, but a few simple steps can help ensure you receive maximum value and have a smooth transaction experience. First, gather all items you're considering selling—even pieces you think might be worthless like broken chains, single earrings, or outdated styles often contain significant precious metal value. Locate any documentation including original boxes, purchase receipts, certificates, appraisals, or warranty cards, as these can increase values by 15-30% or more for designer and luxury items. If you have estate or inherited jewelry, gather any family history or photographs that provide context about the pieces' origins. Before visiting our showroom, consider having your jewelry professionally cleaned if it's heavily tarnished or dirty, though we offer complimentary cleaning during evaluation. Research current gold prices online so you have a general sense of market conditions—we'll show you live prices during evaluation, but being informed helps you understand our offers. Most importantly, take time to decide whether selling is truly the right choice, as we also offer alternatives like consignment for higher returns or custom redesign to transform outdated pieces into jewelry you'll actually wear. Walk-ins are always welcome at David Stern Jewelers, so simply bring your items during business hours, and our experienced jewelry buyers in Boca Raton will provide professional evaluation, transparent pricing, and immediate payment when you're ready to sell.
