First time ever selling gold. I came here because of the good Yelp reviews compared to other gold sellers. It's a jungle out there with gold reviews. I don't venture into Hollywood all that often these days and honestly, the traffic in the area is less than ideal. When I got to the establishment they had heavy duty barred doors that I need to buzz into. Sorta like entering the area from Men In Black 1 with all the security, minus the aliens. Wait? Anyways, the guy I dealt with, likely the owner, was really chill. He gave me more than I thought I would get for a single earring. My wife lost her other earring and we had no need for 1 earring. All in all, if I ever needed to sell gold again I wouldn't even research another place. This is the place I'd go to. In this instance Yelp served me well and guided me to this place and I'd say it's a good place with good value. I did the math for what spot gold was and the price given to me was fairly close to spot gold, given that most places will do 70-90% of spot gold price. read more

Igor is kind and honest - you can ask as many questions as you need. If you align on an exchange, the process takes all of two minutes. Would suggest going here if you don't want to spend time and effort trying to sell jewelry on your own through eBay, etc. read more

This place quoted a 13.5% premium under spot for buying a gold oz. $3900 quoted vs $4507 spot today. Avoid!!

As someone completely new to going to a pawn shop, pleasant and didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of for being such a novice. He was honest, actually informed me of a choice to get more for what I offered. Met with kindness, which is wildly rare these days. Definitely recommend. read more

Just spent 20 min driving over here at 11:35 , within open hours and nobody was there. Called and messages were not accepted.

super nice guy! was very welcoming and knows his stuff. I had previously gotten an appraisal on the gold value so I was aware of what they might offer and they were right on the money. Knowing they have to earn a living too, I happily accepted. As others have stated, this is not one of those shady places that makes you uncomfortable. It's an easy great way to unload your gold with friendly honest folks. Thanks! read more

I`m sorry to say I was not happy I called them on the phone and they told me they pay 19cents a gram for Stirling silver which sells for 78 cents a gram as the going rate which means they only give the person 25% of the going rate and keep 75% that to me is backward if you ask me no thank you!! at .19 they pay $5.36 an oz spot this morning was $21.46 which is a big difference!!! read more

Didn't make a deal but he gave me great advice 10/10 help very fair and honest individual read more

Easy in and out service. Better prices than what you find inDowntown LA. Really good customer service read more

Very friendly, informative and superb experience! CGE evaluated my gold jewelry, checked and verified the karat grade, and advised me on whether it is better if I sell an item myself/keep an item, because it is worth more than 'smelt value'. I can confidently say that they have your best interest at heart, meaning that they will not treat your fine jewelry as scrap gold, and will tell you if you are better off trying to sell it as fine jewelry, if you have a precious piece. Beyond that they offer very fair buy rates. What is certainly notable is that you receive a consultation and are not pressured into selling your gold! In addition the consultation is not rushed and was entirely free. That is exemplary customer-centric service of the highest standard. I have more Silver, Gold and Diamonds that I will be returning with for further advice on what the best strategy is for each piece. In my experience with various Jewelers/Gold buying and selling businesses CGE stands out and has my trust. A place where the customer is treated friendly and can receive a trustworthy evaluation. I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to sell their gold/jewelry/diamonds and get a true consultation and fair/competitive buy rates. Thank you CGE! I am certainly not going to waste time and money on other Jewelry Exchange businesses in the Los Angeles area that either try to pressure you, are rude and rush you through the process!! read more

I've been here several times over the past 3 or so years, to liquidate some of my physical gold holdings to be used for other investments. The people who work here are amazing, very professional and they always give me the best deal. There are people here who speak, Russian, French, English, Armenian, and more. So you wont have to much of a hard time communicating about prices, and value. I would highly recommend anyone looking to exchange precious metals, to come here. I've tried the rest, and honestly they are the best. read more

I found their reviews to be promising so I gave them a ring and they said they take walk-ins. I sat with Igor going through my gold and silver that no longer suited my age / style. He checked it out, did the acid tests, etc and have me a great price for what I had brought in. Very competitive and completely in line with current prices. I left a very happy customer and will no doubt go back again. A very pleasurable and succinct visit. Dig 'me big time. read more

Amazing customer service. Answered all my questions and helped to explain how things are priced and even gave suggestions on what would be better to sell on my own as opposed to selling in store. Gave me an incredible price for all my pieces!! Highly recommend and will be going back if I have other things I wish to sell! read more

What more can I say, amazing service and friendly staff. I been to a lot of places, but this store was great and they paid me to $$ for my gold that I wanted to sale. Sold that, cashed out. My wife was with my and I also Polished her wedding ring that I also bought from them- thanks again. You guys rock. read more

I had a gold ID bracelet that I wanted to exchange for cash. I took it to one local merchant who told me it tested at 14 karat and he offered me $1500. I told him I wanted other bids first. THEN, I took it to Andy at CashGoldExchange on Hollywood Boulevard last Friday when gold was at an all-time high of 2030/oz. He tested it at 21 karat and offered me $3800. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! How much more validity did I need as to feeling I was dealing with an honest merchant? Andy PASSED THE TEST!!! He's personable, likable and was easy to talk with. I waited 3 business days thereafter and the price of gold had dropped $100/oz. by then. I went back today and met up with Igor (Andy was not present today) and he similarly tested everything like Andy did and gave me a quote of $3490, since the price of gold had dropped, as I'd mentioned. I didn't want to wait any further and gamble on whether the gold price would continue to slide like it had for 3 business days, so I agreed to the deal. Aram stepped in to confirm the quality of gold and tested it to corroborate Igor's test and they both agreed. Aram offered me bottled water, also, which was another plus. Dealing with Andy, Igor and Aram was a pleasant experience. The fact I was told 3x it was 21 karat versus the other merchant who was EAGER to give me 1500 for what he deemed as 14 karat, well, let's just say that honesty wins out, as I experienced today. If I have other jewelry I want to exchange for cash, THIS is the place I'll come back to. The cash I received got promptly deposited in the bank. 5 stars EASILY here for C.G.E.! read more

I went here to exchange some silver for cash. Noah was awesome. He answered all my questions and gave me a fair price. Will be going here again if needed read more

If you have gold to sell, these guys are terrific. Speedy, courteous service and excellent pricing. I can't recommend them highly enough read more

I received about half dozen various offers for my 14K gold chain ranging from $1200 - $1700. I took the chain to Cash Gold Exchange on Hollywood blvd. and received $2000 for it! Extremely easy process. Great experience. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

If you need to sell gold? This is the spot to go. Great service, also they quick and easy..

If you are in Los Angeles, want to sell some gold jewelry for cash, and don't want to get ripped off, I can tell you the place to go. Go to Cash Gold Exchange on Hollywood Blvd and ask for Andy. He will appraise your jewelry right in front of you and show you the exactly how he calculates its value. Not only that, he makes a nice cup of coffee and there is always chocolate to eat. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Tip:- if you drive there, park at around the back as it is free parking there (the front, on the street is metered and if you don't pay you will get a ticket). read more

Great place to sell some gold or jewelry. Honest offers and easy negotiations. I shall return in the future. Thank you for your honesty.

Who knew there were so many places to sell gold? We have been Spring Cleaning at home and trying to throw or give away any unwanted stuff. As part of this my wife organized her jewelry "stash" and found a bunch of mismatched earrings and the like that she would never, ever use again. All of this stuff was good quality gold so what to do with it? Sell it. Knew that selling it a jewelry store was not going to be a good option and definitely did not want to go around local pawnshops carrying bag of valuable gold items, so started to do a little research online and found that there is a whole bunch of places that buy gold based in the weight and karats of the items. The problem was it also looked like there are plenty of "shady" businesses offering this and scams are common. I ended up using a recommendation from a relative who had done something similar. I called them and they sent me a pre-printed FedEx envelope to send in the items to their store in Downtown, which I did. 4 days later I received a FedEx back with a check inside. Very happy with amount I got from them - and they called me on the day I got the check to see if I was OK with it, so that impressed. The negatives. Must say that handing over a FedEx package with gold inside left me a little nervous at first but I was reassured that it was insured and that it was safe. No complaints at all, would definitely use again if I had more gold to sell (I wish). read more

Courteous, professional, helpful, and honest. Highlights: 1) We came in with a huge bag that was 99% crud but they were incredibly patient sorting through it and individually testing each and every trinket that had the potential to be gold. 2) They were open to questions about the process of gold testing and chatted with us while they worked. 3) They provided change for the parking meter. read more

This was such a great experience and I got so much more money than I expected. The guys were super nice, made me a cup of coffee, showed me how it all worked as far as testing the gold goes, it was great. My only regret is selling off the majority of my old gold at a yard sale for almost nothing. Never again! I will absolutely come back and recommend these guys to friends. read more

Very nice guy. I wanted more for my gold, but I blame the market. Thanks so much. I'll come back to sell the diamond ring. read more

I went here to sell my gold & silver because of its rave Yelp reviews, and I am more than happy to report to you all that they certainly live up to their excellent reputation!!! There is ample free parking in the lot, so messing with meters is not necessary which is always nice. There was no waiting, you don't need an appointment you can go in right off the street. They thoroughly and quickly tested all of my gold and silver in front of me and we had such a good time. We were laughing and shooting the breeze the whole time they were working. I loved the staff! Those guys are people I'd be good friends with in real life! They gave me a bottle of water and some gold coin chocolates which we also joked about lol. They removed all the stones and diamonds for me no problem & gave them to me in a little bag /and believe me some were not easy to get out. Just so very professional and courteous through and through. I had such a fun time. Andy is the man. He was showing me all the cool ways they test the gold, it was the funniest science class I've ever been in, and ended with me being $420 dollars richer! If you have unworn or old broken jewelry THIS is the best place to go cash it in. I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I will never sell anywhere else and would recommend to all my family and friends. Nicest guys. Fastest service. Legit honest businessmen and very kind. My gold & silver was worth $412 & Andy rounded up to $420. That is as classy as it gets. True gentleman =) 5 stars isn't high enough!!!!! read more

Cash Gold Exchange - I made $420 on a half full bag of old broken gold & silver jewelry!!! - Jewelry Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is THE best place to sell your unwanted Gold/silver/diamond jewelry in Los Angeles and perhaps the country! After searching tirelessly for places that wouldn't rip me off I decided to try this place bc of the awesome yelp reviews and all I can say is if you go there you will be treated fairly and feel good about your decision to sell with these guys! Arthur and Igor are so sweet and nice and want to have return business so they're honest and extremely fair! They have me as a customer for life! Oh yeah and they also have a custom jewelry location downtown so I'll be bringing my fiancé to them to design my engagement ring when that times comes .. Hopefully soon! Go here ppl you will be so happy you did and they even gave me some espresso water and gold coin chocolates... LOVE that read more

Was closed when supposed to be open according to their hours on yelp and on their door

Went here to exchange some rings, unsure whether they'd only take gold, or silver etc too! If anyone's wondering, they do take other things as well, not only gold. Super friendly and helpful, explaining process and prices, even said that we might want to wait a bit due to price drops, and yeah.. Very satisfied! read more

Andy is a super nice guy who was very welcoming and knows his stuff. I had previously gotten an appraisal on the gold value so I was aware of what they might offer and they were right on the money. Knowing they have to earn a living too, I happily accepted. As others have stated, this is not one of those shady places that makes you uncomfortable.

i helped a friend move (ugh i must be a really good friend!!!...) and one of the last things to dump / pack / do something with was a big old musty dusty box of silverware and frames. she said please just take it, throw it out, do something with it i don't want it. i had no real idea what the items were but they looked like fancy cutlery to me. i always recycle, i'm up at the westside recycle in burbank a few times a year whenever i have metal to get rid of. so i was either gonna dump this stuff there or- see if it was silver and worth anything. lo and behold, i find cash gold exchange (yes on yelp!). it's not too far so i figure i'll try things out here. i think in general a "sell your gold! we buy silver!" place is kind of scary. you never know what's for real, if your deal is legit etc... but i have to say i was super glad i found and came here. there was SO much stuff to test. dozens of forks and knives and what not and they do a scratch test against looks like a piece of slate and acid. anyway they were so super patient going through it all and just courteous and cool. in the end the big box of (junk, to me) stuff i brought in was worth $225 and this was simply found money. i sure as heck didn't want it but i'm happy to let them take it melt it and make something useful!!! the place is clean, the guys are patient, and i got a very definite feeling of trust and honesty. i would come back here no hesitation with silver or gold to sell. they made it simple, clean, easy. if you come in with a lot of stuff it does take time to test it all but- it's all good and they are simply being careful and legit. there's parking in back so put your car there and bring your butt and silver and gold and precious metals in here. recommended for sure. ; - ) read more

I had some unbranded gold jewelry that I wanted to sell, and I read the other reviews so decided to try this place. The gentleman was so kind and walked me through what he was doing, showing me the numbers on the scale. It was very safe in there and I felt like he was giving me an honest price. He even told me that I would get more money for one item on eBay. I would definitely come here again! read more

I'm new to the area so naturally I did some research before hand. I saw that Andy was highly recommended and I can see why! He was there to answer my phone call, greet me and walk me through a deal. He was easy to talk to also, which made me feel better about the exchange- this was my first time selling to a "cash for gold" place. Even though I had mostly silver, Andy broke me a good deal and I left a satisfied customer:) glad I did some research and found Andy! I would definitely recommend going to this shop and working with him read more

Very friendly guys!!! Got real good money for my scrap gold. Definitely recommend this place. P.S. You don't only get money you get chocolates. read more

If you are looking for an honest transparent and no non sense place to cash in your scraps and gold, THIS IS THE PLACE!!!! I brought in a piece that contained gold and platinum or so I thought. IGOR, was fantastic. He explained to me that he need to separate both precious metal to weigh them separately. I checked online the current price for both and asked what would he pay comparing to current value, with the understanding that it is a place of business and they would be under market value so they can make a buck as well. He proceeded by giving an estimate based on his experience and weight then he proceeded by cutting each piece to weigh them individually. He then tested both metal with the assumption it was platinum for one and 18kt gold for the other one. After various acidic test he verified it was 18kt gold and platinum. He suggested instead of selling the platinum that was cheaper than gold to actually make a few chains and sell them online since a platinum piece in a necklace form would sell for almost double rather than melting and getting current value. I told him I didn't want to spend time and effort in doing so and to just figure out the weight so I could sell it. At that point he Igor started testing everything and then he was puzzled by the feel of the weight and said the platinum piece might be 14kt gold instead which was better for me. He took me in the back melted a small piece in front of me and confirmed it was in fact that he 14kt gold. He was honest completely transparent knowledgeable in his field and very very fair. From the initial quote with platinum in mind I ended having almost $200 more once we find out it was white gold. I will definitely return and advise all you potential sellers to bypass everybody else and come straight here. Long story short I left this gem of place with $2400 more in my pocket. Thank you Igor and the entire team A++++++ Cheers read more

Third location on my list of places to shop around a gold bracelet I no longer wore. Are treated very professionally and given a very fair price. The last thing I wanted to do was drive around town back and forth trying to haggle for 10 or $20. I was given a very fair price that actually matched and beat the last location by a small amount. For me it was the professionalism and principle of the nature of the business. I highly recommend this location, not to mention plenty of free parking in the back, secured business, and will be back in the future if I I'm going to say any more gold in the future. read more

I'd never sold gold for cash before and this place was awesome. It was easy and comfortable. They walked me through each step. And I left with a good chunk of cash that felt very fair. I'm gonna hunt for more gold in my apartment this weekend so I can go back! read more

THIS really is the best place to get a fair and honest price for your gold. He's entirely above board, so be prepared to show ID. They offer coffee or water (small thing, but appreciated), and they're always there during stated hours. (I found them because I'd been to another place once before, and when I went back with more single gold earrings and broken watches to sell, he was never actually there, during business hours). These guys go through the process of assessing it with you, weigh it in front of you, and offer a fair price. I highly recommend them! read more

Very friendly , and fast. I'll definitely recommend this place if you have gold you want to sell.

I found the buyer to be honest and friendly. He gave me a good price for my gold and made the whole process a breeze. I was also offered a tasty cold bottled water as soon as I arrived and a gold chocolate coin for my parting. Thanks! :) read more
