Absolutely amazing staff and craftsmanship. I left my rings to get resized and serviced and boy did they come out gorgeous! I'm so happy I can wear them again, and the sparkle and shine of the gold is breathtaking. I will certainly be bringing it back to get serviced here, no need to look for another jeweler.

Easy process of selling silver. However, not much was explained about the way it worked and the lady helping us could have been more kind. She seemed a little put-out when we arrived with items to see about selling. I called ahead and asked if we needed an appointment to make the process flow and to not waste anyone's time. They said no. So I assumed that we would be greeted by someone happy to see us.not so.
Don't get me wrong, she was nice, she just seemed put-out. My first impression of this store is that it's nice, the location is fine but the people working there should be (or at least act) excited to see customers when they arrive.

I took quite a few pieces of jewelry to Arthur Yates & Sons Jewelers to sell for cash. Some pieces were scrap gold items and other were items I no longer was interested in wearing. When I arrived (before noon), I was immediately greeted and assisted by Heather who was very professional and friendly. After about 30-45 minutes of examining all the pieces, I was offered $5000. I felt it was a very fair price and did not hesitate to accept it.
I want to that Heather and the other associates for making this process easy and comfortable. I truly appreciate your service and will return to them if I find any other pieces to part with. Thank you.
