The team of extremely professional individuals that work at David Ellis remind me that there are still honest and helpful people in the world. Especially during Covid when people might need to sell things they never thought they would. I have found the staff at David Ellis to be exceptional. I believe they give a fair price and I believe they're honest and straightforward. I have been a client with them for eight years and I don't plan to go anywhere else because loyalty between client and owner is essential during these unprecedented times. I trust them with my Grandmother's jewelry which is saying a lot in my books. Be sure to check them out - it's a beautiful store and they have a wide selection of everything you've ever needed and then some! Thank you David Ellis for making my day during a difficult time! read more

This is the second store I brought my wedding ring set to, and was given a similar price for them, but conducted in a way nicer atmosphere. Granted, I just wanted the set gone and didn't negotiate prices. But the store is nice and there's a lot of pretty jewelry everywhere that's easy to get distracted looking at. They were all older gentlemen and didn't seem judgmental when someone needed to borrow against their valuables, which is appreciated as another customer just chilling by trying not to eavesdrop. read more

Ellis is an absolute moron. Tested his pricing when I brought in a $40,000 civil war rifle. He said it looked too worn down. Well duh idiot its from the 1800's. Jokes on you. Better do some research before you nod people off. read more

This place looks and feels just like a pawn shop. It's a far reach from the Cherry Creek shopping experience I had in mind. Will not be returning. read more

I honestly waited about 5 weeks before writing this review, because I was so truly damaged by my experience there. I recently had to make the terrible decision to sell some family jewelry in order to retain a divorce attorney. After doing some brief research and due to the history of the business, I went to David Ellis. I have never been more heartsick or angry at myself for such a choice. I have never been treated in a more humiliating, condescending, misogynistic, cruel, uncaring, snidely, contemptuous, unprofessional and truly rude way in my entire life. He snarled at my grandmother's ring which I had an appraisal for with me. He flung open a desk drawer that he referred to as "junk he'll never sell" insinuating that her ring, while appraised for $2,200.00 would end up in. He offered me $500.00 and acted as though I was an uneducated imbecile who should be quite grateful. Calling me "honey and sugar." He had more concern for the fact that his German Shepard was passing gas in his office, than my transaction, feelings or integrity. I left in tears. David Ellis is not only a truly deplorable, untrustworthy and dishonest businessman, but he is also a cruel, uncaring, despicable human being without one shred of character, or kindness. The Cherry Creek community should be horrified that he represents the neighborhood. Boycott this man and his business, he's truly a dreadful person. read more

On April 9, 2018 I will be in court with David Ellis. I left 2 very nice Swiss watches on consignment there. They didn't sell so I went to pick them up. They gave them back to me in little yellow envelopes. I had left 2 gift boxes, one of which contained "links" for one of the watch bracelets. They said they would look for them. My e-mail and a letter were not answered. They hung up when I called. They treated me like a nuisance. We'll see what the judge has to say about this. read more

Totally insulted my intelligence when brought in platinum jewelry - commenting I can do anything with this ? First of all his name isn't David Ellis - why not be the person you claim to be? Totally ripped me off - their store is crowded, messy, looks like a pawn shop , jewelry is laying around in piles on his desk . I felt like I was in the mob bosses office while he gave orders. I'll never be back. read more

Amazing job on my great grandmothers ring!!! Could not be happier with the results! Definetly will be going back for all my jewelry needs. read more

David Ellis Cherry Creek - Jewelry Near Me - Denver, Colorado

David Ellis has been my jeweler of choice since moving to Cherry Creek twenty-one years ago. When I had a watch band replaced recently, I left, as always, feeling that I was treated respectfully and individually as a customer. The prices are consistently fair, and this is one of the rare retailers left where service feels personal. read more

I was in Cherry Creek and needed a ring sized and cleaned. I had forgotten to get it in early, so I didn't have any expectation of it being done that day, but to my suprise the jeweler stated he could have it done in 45 minutes. This is a vintage opal, set in Indian silverwork, belonged to my Grandmother, so I am careful what happens to it, and who works on it. I knew the reputation was good here, and I was not disappointed. It came back stunning and perfectly sized, and even fixed a small flaw with the mounting for free. All this during holiday shopping rush, on a Saturday. Truly impressed! (oh, and I'll be back for that turquoise watch!) You've got my business, Mr Ellis. read more

Wonderful Service! Very professional, knew the silver and jewelry markets very well, and the staff was great! Highly recommend!

I went to David Ellis last week to sell some of my Aunt's jewelry, it was an inheritance for my daughter. I'll admit I was a little hesitant at first after reading the previous reviews. I actually went to another jeweler, who had all five stars first. Not such a good experience... I guess I should have been alerted by the all five stars, who has that, really?? Anyway, I decided to chance it, after all Rick Crandell of the breakfast club, spoke highly of the place. So I went. I met with Vincent, who took his time with me and looked at everything I had. He was absolutely fantastic!! He explained why some pieces were worth what they were and why some weren't. He went out of his way to find every dollar he could get for me. He understood that people don't come in to part with family heirlooms because they want to and was very kind and gentle with me. I hope that folks will look past the negative reviews and give Vincent and David Ellis Jewelers a chance. I'm very glad that I did!! read more

I did business at David Ellis Jewelry last week. This is a jewelry antique and pawn shop, buys gold and silver, stones, and diamonds. I had the most positive experience here. The owner David Ellis and employee David and Jay are very Knowledgeable in all areas dealing with jewelry. I have had some very dishonest, and bad experiences in other shops in Cherry Creek. This establishment I completely trust. Very honest, fair and the service is exceptional. I genuinely liked the people that work there. I felt well taken care of. No one tried to sell me anything I didn't really need or want. Employees took their time, did not rush me and were very accommodating. I have purchased from there several years ago and remembered they were very fair. My experience last week again, only confirmed that. I would highly recommend you check out David Ellis before dealing with any other jewelers. They have been around almost 30 years. Their reputation proceeds them. You will not be disappointed. Workmanship is amazing. I had several pieces designed and repaired there, I also traded in gold and silver. They explained the process and market values and were more than fair! Can't say enough good things about David Ellis jewelry. Cindy Krogh read more

All the adds says "David Ellis pays more" definitely not true. He offered $1500 for a $5000 Rolex. Right time offered $2000, and I got even more online. Kinda rude too, he looked like a sloppy car salesman that couldn't even be bothered to come out of his office. read more

Needed some cash quick, came here after the first place low balled me. Was late kn the day and I had to get money, normally I'd go to Rocky Mountain coin on broadway. I called right before they closed and they stay opened and offered me a fair price for my silver, can't complain the guys weren't rude to me but I could see them being intimidating to a defenseless person. Be careful because if you fall they can push you over and lowball you as well. See tip- read more

David Ellis Cherry Creek - David Ellis on Clayton and 3rd - Jewelry Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have gone to David Ellis twice in the last month with things to sell. I have been very pleased with the way my wife and I were treated. David is very knowledgeable and is very straight forward with what he will pay. If I have something in the future to sell David is the only one I would consider dealing with. Miles L. read more

I went to David Ellis to get an estimate on items that I no needed and I hoped I would get a fair price. It was great as I did get what I feel was a fair price and found the people in the store to be very nice as well as knowledgeable. I even got to meet Mr. Ellis himself and he was a very nice man and he seemed to know what he was doing. I actually went to his store first due to his advertisements on KHOW and KNUS. He said that both people who do the advertising (Mandy and Peter) were very interesting and likeable people. When I weed out my jewelry again I will be sure to head to David Ellis Jewelers 1st. Thanks David! read more

I have been to David Ellis a couple times now for jewelry cleaning, resizing, etc. They have always been very nice and helpful, and their pricing is very reasonable. I see there are some poor ratings, but I can't speak to the buying/selling aspect of their business. However, I would still recommend David Ellis highly for jewelry repairs. read more

David Ellis and his staff were courteous and professional. Pulled up and showed us the day's gold exchange rate and gave me that price for gold coins, only charging $100 for the transaction, where pawn stores wanted upwards of $375. 00 per coin. Fair and honest, I highly recommend! read more

0 stars. What doesn't big David Ellis or his staff return phone calls or respond to online inquiries? Not sure. Based on the reviews, it's probably because he is a sloppy used car salesman. Funny. Glad I didn't do business with this fraud (as other reviewers say he is). Unprofessional at best. Went elsewhere for my business and was very pleased. I feel if Big Dave got back to me, he would have tried to rip me off. Dont be fooled, just because his shop is in Cherry Creek, does not mean big Dave is reputable. By the looks and sounds of it, he is not. read more

My husband and I have done business with this establishment for many years. We have purchased several pieces of jewelry from David, and found him to be very competitively priced. Along with that is the comfort of knowing that if service, sizing, and cleaning is needed he is very fair and always works in a timely fashion. I brought several pieces of jewelry from my grandmothers estate to him, and although it was hard to part with them, he was both fair and honest with me about their value. I highly recommend David Ellis Jewelers, and can find no reason whatsoever to not give them a 5 STAR recommendation!!! read more

Exceptional products! Really easy to deal with and honest. I love my earrings and bracelet and feel the prices were ASTONISHING. Will return again and again. read more

After shopping around at several of the other jewelers in the Cherry Creek area, I walked into David Ellis to find a more unique engagement ring. I found a ring that was just my girlfriend's style and for just the right price. The staff was helpful and courteous and I'm very happy with my purchase! read more

I will never return to this store. Not sure the staff or the "big guy" are familiar with the concept of customer service.

I found the Owner Of this Fine Store to be Quite friendly, knowledgeable,& fair Him and His German shepherd And Staff are very friendly fair and professional, I Had Some Silver coins to Sell He Gave me Top Dollar More than any other quotes I Received In Denver. I Would Highly recommend Him. After reading some of the negative reviews About them I Feell some of those people do not understand He Runs A Business, And Sentimental Value of some merchandise That people try to sell does not meet what fair market value of some jewelry Might really be worth. I found Them to be Fair And Honest, But Remember He Has To Make some Money to Stay In Business. Just Because It Belonged to A Loved One Does Not Mean It's Worth A Million $$$. read more

David Ellis is a crook. I took my Rolex Daytona in to get appraised for my insurance company and he took the band apart to look at the serial number. During the process the he lost the pin that attaches the band to the watch. He assured me he would replace it and put a steel pin in a solid gold watch. After sometime I called to see if he would replace the Rolex pin as promised and he would not do it. I went into his store to ask him to replace it and he refused. He used profanity and threatened bodily harm. read more

We were looking to get a few estimates to sell some old wedding jewelry etc and came across the David Ellis ad in the newspaper. I agree with other reviews that this place is tiny. Two smaller glass cases and every person walking all on top of each other. We all had to get out of the way for the UPS man, each person barely being helped. The door is open to the public and people are trying to go to a secure location to sell some jewelry, might not be much but it is enough for someone to want to protect. I felt like I was exposed and very uncomfortable holding a couple thousands dollars worth of jewelry. Not sure what they consider security. So the guy comes over and says "I don't know who was next, but I guess it's whomever wins the fight". Umm what? So he lays out my items and asks "do you know what you were looking to get for the diamond?" when I said I just wanted to get an estimate of the worth to compare. This was the first place I tried, so I had no real sense of value. So he then takes the items away to another room without explaining what he's doing, comes back out and goes to the other counter, drops all of the items on the scale, loud enough for people to turn their heads, adds some stuff up on his calculator and returns with a post it note with a number on it. He says to me "this number is for the entire tray, the ring makes up most of that number and the rest of this stuff makes up the rest of the number." He did not check (as other reviewers have noted) the jewelry in detail and even when I offered up the GIA paperwork for the diamond, he was less than interested. So I said ok and began to put the stuff away and he said "what about this stuff", I said "I'm taking that home too, I was just here to get a number." I asked if I could have the post it note and he refused, I think he did not hear me the first time I asked, so I asked again and he said "no you cannot have the sticky note, that is an offer and is based on current gold prices. We will beat any offers you can get anywhere, but until we know the numbers, we can't talk real numbers". So let me get this straight, until I tell you what other jewelers offered me, you are going to half ass help me? He crumpled up the post it note and threw it away. In no way was that note an offer, because it is a bunch of random numbers written on it (it looked like a phone number written on a post it note), nothing saying each piece broken down in detail and he must have felt like it was a binding contract. What a jerk. Since, I have been to two other jewelers that acted interested regardless of the quality of the jewelry and professionally, both offering double what David Ellis did........and I didn't even have to tell them about other offers. One of them, the "buyer" was on her lunch break, because you are suppose to make an appointment, but offered to sqeeze me in before another appointment. Took 10 minutes out of her lunch break to help me. I appreciate that. I would not recommend David Ellis to anyone and will never return. Avoid. Your experience may vary but be careful. read more

I came in to David Ellis trying to sell a few pieces of assorted antiques. When I came in, the people behind the desk looked like hobos that had just walked in off the street. They dismissed everything that I had without examining them in detail. I had items that had been apprised for over $1500 and I was offered nothing. The second man that was behind the counter didn't even look up from his crossword puzzle and he acted very annoyed when he was bothered. All in all they were very unprofessional not only in the way that I was treated but also the way that the employees were dressed. If I can go a few blocks down to Loro Piana or Hermès and spend $10,000 on one item, I expect the employees to act more professionally. Never going back. read more

I don't have any purchase experience to speak of but I was recommended to come here to try and sell some wedding jewelry. I was helped promptly and sufficiently. I noticed the shop was kind of small, there were two people working when I went in so some people had to wait a little to get helped. I was slightly annoyed that after the guy told me how much they would pay for my stuff he said, "So this is how it works, we take the gold and you keep the loose diamonds." He pretty much just assumed I'd sell to him, even though he hadn't offered me as much as another place. read more

I don't feel like duplicating the review I put on the David Ellis web page so please take a look before you even waste the gas to go to their store. They are frauds. Most people don't know what they have and make a very costly error by assuming that if David Ellis can take out a half page ad in the Denver Post that they must be a reputable buyer. Buyer beware. Do your home work minus David Ellis in the equation. Hopefully the state and FCC complaints will be investigated and result in this business being shut down and run out of town. read more

A couple of friends and I are "downsizing" and took some jewelry to David Ellis for assessment. He is amazingly adept: knows just what to look for and how to price it so that it's good for the seller and he can still make his 5%. We all felt we'd both learned some good information and gotten a fair deal. read more

I see a lot of negative on here. But my experience was good. The employees were rather pleasant and kind. I believe I got treated fairly. It was handled quickly and easily. read more

Last week I went to D. Ellis Jewelers to sell quite a bit of gold and some nice sized diamonds, the salesman repeatedly asked what do you want for it. He talked non-stop, I think as a distraction to my questions and to give as low a price as possible. A one carat diamond quote was $800 at Ellis and $2k at Crow!! Another one carat was $1500 at Ellis and $3K at Crow jewelers. After a very low offer, I then visited Crow jewelers who doubled the offer that I had gotten at Ellis, the gold was weighed significantly higher at Crow even after deciding not to sell some pieces. Sellers beware at Ellis, they aren't ethical!! Wish there were a zero star rating!! read more

I should have written this review long ago, as I've been going to David Ellis for years. I've trusted them with many pieces, including valuable antique pieces from my great aunt and have always been pleased with their knowledge, quality and very fair prices. Most recently, the setting on my wedding ring/diamond broke and my husband took it to another jeweler in CC North. He was quoted $600-700 dollars to repair (with a 2-3 week turnaround). When I returned from my business trip, I took it into David Ellis, who fixed it (same day) for $65 dollars. It looks perfect and I've had no issues since. Again, excellent, honest and fairly priced service - every time! read more

Super friendly, knowledgable, and helpful staff. Great selection of estate rings and pieces, Victorian broaches, turn of the century carriage lamps as well as beautiful modern pieces. They were so kind to help with small non essential jewelry repairs and it really felt like the friendly and helpful neighborhood jeweler. Definitely recommend Ellis for repairs and one of a kind pieces. read more

I have taken a few gold and silver items to David Ellis and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They always give me the best price and conduct business in the best way. I would recommend David Ellis to anyone who is looking to sell jewelry or gold and silver. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place. A family feel, very professional, honest and fantastic work! I true gem! :o)

If I could give a negative star I would. Took my vintage Rolex in due to the advertisement saying 'we pay top dollar'. I have seen similar Rolex's sell for between $2000-$3500 both on general sites (ebay, amazon) as well as other dealer websites. Shop is small and shabby. After handing over the watch, they took it to a back room for about 5 minutes. Came back and said $400 was what they could offer and the watch wasn't worth anything. It is worth double that in gold value alone. The strap is also worth $200. I doubt they were planning on melting the watch and using it for parts, so they are definitely trying to take advantage of people in my opinion. I understand the need to make a profit, but I also saw them dicker with another lady for a 400 retail piece they tried to give her 50 but ended up back and forth until they got to 60. For a high end area (Cherry Creek) I expected more than a small pawnshop experience. Sorry David Ellis, I will never be back. And when things turn around, no $$$ from this potential customer. read more

Do not use David Ellis in Cherry Creek to sell your jewelry or even buy from them! I brought a diamond ring and the owner told me that the diamond is yellow and therefore he is not interested in buying it, but then he said "I can give you $1000 for it if you want to sell it." I left and took the ring to a reputable jeweler who examined the diamond and confirmed that it is of great quality, clear and there is no yellow color in it. I also have a certificate evidencing the diamond quality. read more

I would give no stars if I could. He took my grandmothers silver and totally lowballed her since she had no idea what it was worth. He then asked if she had a jewelry and wanted to get her diamond ring to buy. Fortunately I came in and was able to prevent him from completing the transaction. When I asked why he was offering so little he copped an attitude and said it costs him a lot of money to run all of his ads. I feel sorry for the older people that trust him. read more
