Their prices were comparatively high. They were more than happy to replace the watch battery. When I paid for this one service, the price was $24 (for a standard watch battery replacement). It usually costs me $10 when a jewelry stop switches out by battery. Ouch! Not my kind of store.

Very impressed with quality of service. Corey took time to check every item and explained to me the process for evaluation.

Shopping with them was a great experience. The gentlemen in the store were friendly and informative. I love the items I purchased and will definitely return to this store next time I'm in the market to buy or sell fine jewelry. They also cleaned my rings while I was there.

From calling to see if they make appointments (they don’t) to receiving a check for my items, my transaction at Raleigh Gold Jewelry was easy and enjoyable. Corey was extremely knowledgeable, patient and very easy to work with. In fact, I actually enjoyed my time in the store and came out much more informed about gold and silver. I felt so good about the experience that I
left my wedding ring that needed some repairs.
Raleigh Gold Jewelry will be my “go-to” place for jewelry repairs and purchases. It’s wonderful to find a jewelry store that
you have total trust in. I definitely recommend Raleigh Gold and Silver!

My wife and I had some gold and silver coins we decided to sell, since we knew they had collectible value. The gentleman who assisted us was professional, informative and clearly communicative during the whole process. While I was already familiar with the current price of gold and silver and have sold precious metals before, we were carefully asked at every stage of the process if we understood what was entailed and were never pressured.
From start to finish it only took us about 15 minutes to complete a satisfactory transaction, given a very good price for the coins and paid via check. In fact more time was spent casually conversing than the actual transaction, :)
We would definitely deal with Raleigh Gold Jewelry and Coin if the need arises.

I was referred by a friend who had already spoken highly of the staff. As I walked in, James greeted me - very friendly, professional, easy to speak with. James asked how he could help, I showed him the pieces of jewelry that I wanted appraised. After explaining how gold and precious metals are evaluated from a Jeweler/Appraiser perspective, he then showed me how gold was tested to determine the carat and explained how he arrives at a price for the gold. He weighed it, added up the values, and printed a check for me. Quick, easy, no hassles. I would recommend James and his business to anyone in the area who is looking for a fair and honest deal.

My wife inherited a thick 14k gold bracelet with a whole bunch of 14k charms. There was nothing of sentimental value on it, so she told me to see how much we could get for it. Nowadays, it's a little easier to know if you're getting a good deal when selling gold. A few minutes on and quot;The Googlesand quot; and I was able to find out how reputable merchants purchase gold. I have an inexpensive digital kitchen scale that gave me a reasonable measure of how many grams it weighed. Finding the current market rate on 14k gold was easy, and a few websites said, after you calculate the price from the weight of the gold, you have to lower it by a percentage to figure out the price you should get. When I went to Raleigh Gold Jewelry and Coins, I was waited on immediately, and it only took minutes for the cs rep to inspect it and weigh it, their weight was a few tenths of a gram more than my scale, and it didn't take them long to offer me $1420. My calculations had given me a price of $1450, so I had no problem whatsoever with their offer. I doubt I spent more than 15 minutes in the store, and walked out with that check. Also, they ask you to give them a good review on Google, and they mail you a check for $20. The purchased review kind of tweaks the ethical portion of the brain, but since I really did have a good experience there, I had no problem taking the $20.

"(member name removed) , I am glad to hear you had a great experience with our company. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to serving your future jewelry needs as well. After reading your review, I felt compelled to share a brief moment with you in response. Your review stated “Also, they ask you to give them a good review on Google, and they mail you a check for $20. The purchased review kind of tweaks the ethical portion of the brain, but since I really did have a good experience there, I had no problem taking the $20” For the record, we do not ask our customers to give us good reviews. These days, word of mouth travels online and like all businesses, we encourage our customers to tell others about their experience with us. Jason’s Deli offer a free cookie if you go online and fill out a comment form. Countless other local and national companies offer promotions for customers to fill our online surveys or reviews. Like these merchants, we encourage and reward our customers to take the time to tell us how we’re doing. But we do not, and could not, tell people what to say. Because we listen actively and learn from our mistakes, our company benefits from both the positive and negative feedback. Thank you for taking to time to share your experience with others! We’re going to send you two Jason’s Deli gift cards tomorrow! Be well and thanks again for your business."

Couldn't be happier. Had some random gold jewelry that was old and not worn. Julie was courteous and walked me through the whole process (weighing, testing, etc). On top of that .... they gave me a great price! I would highly recommend them. In fact, I plan to go back to get some jewelry appraised in the future.

I’m a big user of Angie’s List so I selected Raleigh Gold Jewelry and Coin to appraise the jewelry. I really enjoyed the experience and now have some knowledge about the gold selling process. I felt I was treated fairly and recommended this shop to my daughter, as she wants to get her husband a new wedding ring.

My hand is broken and in a cast. I have said verything I wanted to say in the box above. Year home built is not necessary as this was not a home service. Too many superflous questions irritate those already in pain.

Fortunately for the customer, with so much information available on the internet, it is much easier to get a idea of what jewelry is worth, at least as far as selling it for the weight of the gold. My mother-in-law gave us the bracelet with the intention of our selling it. It was a large charm bracelet, and the chain and charms were all marked 14K. I have a digital scale that I use for measuring food portions, and it said the item weighed 74 grams, including the weight of stones set in the charms. I found 3 websites that told you how to calculate the worth of the gold, and how much you would actually get for it. All 3 sites came up just about the same number, and they all said a good gold buyer would probably offer you a percentage of that. At Raleigh Gold Jewelry, their scale said 74.4 grams, and they offered me a more than fair amount. I had thought I might try a couple of places, but I was so pleased with the offer, I took it. I will definitely do business with them again. Also, their showroom is quite nice, next time I'm in the market to buy jewelry, I'll definitely take a look there.

After much research I went to Raleigh Gold and Jewerly to sell several pieces of gold. I received not only a very good rate, but the time and effort to explain all steps and results was impressive. I believe I'm a good judge of character and am confindent that everything was handled with honesty and a high level of professionalism. Will happily continue to do business with them.

This was the first time I ever sold any jewelry or silver flatware. Kylie Kopp was very professional and helpful. She knew what she was doing in the sorting and testing process, and was willing to teach me as she went along. I learned a lot about the process, and I will use them again.

I had never sold any jewelry before and I wasn't sure what to expect. Peter and James were very friendly and walked me through the process of how a fair assessment would be performed. Peter divided the types of jewelry I had brought into separate categories and explained how they would each be assessed. He patiently answered each and every question I had and explained each step as we went along. The entire process was smooth and I always felt confident that I was being treated fairly. Truly, this was one of the best customer experiences I have ever had. I am thrilled that not only was I treated well, but I walked out of the store with a check in my hand! I couldn't be happier!!

He explained every detail, never walked away with my belongings and at any point and time made me feel pressured to sell him my jewelry. I liked his professionalism and mannerism and very satisfied with the amount my jewelry was appraised for. After the transaction he invited me back and stated that if I ever needed any help to please return and that he or any other staff member would be more than happy to assist me. Now that is what I call GREAT SERVICE!!! something that I don't get very often while out and about. I would highly recommend "Raleigh Gold Jewelry & Coin" to anybody!! They are  very kind and pleasant  people to work with! They have gained my business and I do plan to return!!! A+A+A+A+A+

We took some silverware that was our parent's in to the Brier Creek location to sell. The location was very easy to find. This was our second time there and with both times had an excellent experience. We were led immediately back so that our silver could be looked at. With every step it was explained to us about what they were doing and how it worked. We were given a fair price and felt very pleased with the overall service and customer service.

I had some old circa 1980s gold lying in a drawer at home and decided it wasn't doing any good there. I read about Raleigh Gold Jewelry and Coin on the Internet and decided to give them a try. I have not sold gold to any other store, so I can't compare them to other options out there, but I had a very pleasant experience. I did not have to wait to be seen, the gold buyer quickly sorted my items and verified the karat of the gold. I was curious about the whole process and she was very friendly and willing to answer my questions. After just a few minutes she quoted me a price for the gold, which I happily accepted. The enviroment was very nice and professional. I don't have any other jewelry or old precious metals lying around, but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Raleigh Gold Jewelry and Coin.
