I have had two excellent experiences with Matthew at DGX Diamond & Gold Exchange on Ventura Blvd in Studio City (next to Trader Joes). I have been there twice now. Each time, I had no idea if my jewelry had any value; BUT happily I sold items, and . was satisfied with the price. Yesterday, 6/10 I had another good exchange and made more $ than before (depends on your jewelry of course). DGX is in a "buzz in" secured location. Easy access. Matthew is very nice and I will gladly continue to recommend DGX. p.s. I was Not asked to post this review. CathleenF read more

I'm very pleased with this recommendation that I was given by a friend of mine, we had some jewelry, gold, and silver, and some platinum, also some coins. I called and made an appointment with Matt , he gave me instructions on how to get there where I could park, Street parking. Also, he was very generous with the knowledge of buying and selling gold and silver . He gave us great prices , we felt that they were fair. Wrote me a check right away , I told him I had more things at home once I dug them out I could come back, I ended up going there three times altogether. I would highly recommend it if you need to sell your gold, silver or platinum . His office is upstairs one flight , I didn't see an elevator. read more

See all

very helpful and very kind professional crew who helped me with my jewelry and everything in my realm of needs.

Such an honest and fair assessment for gold exchange and then you get a check cut for you on the spot. The service is class A+++. He is quick, doesn't beat around the bush and truly a kind person which I always appreciate. Thank you so much for your expertise and I'll be back again! read more

I knew an inherited treasure was time to give up and Matt was able to evaluate and purchase from me. With so many businesses to choose from it was Matt and his manner that convinced me to use his location. Kind, comforting and appointment time flexible was helpful. I was able to walk out feeling I got the most value of what I brought in. Thank you Matt. read more

Ok yes I'm going to sound like I'm over the moon about Diamond and Gold Exchange but that'll be a great thing because I am. I had old jewelry I was never going to wear again and some even broken and just tangled gold chains from back in the day that I just didn't know what to do with. Plus with all the questionable practices these days... Well, my search is over and maybe yours too.... Matt and Sandra are the best .... They appraise your stuff right away in front of you, are GIA certified and trustworthy, good, professional, and lovely and answer your questions. They know the market and will tell you what you can sell it for and if you agree you get handed a check and off you go. And with the extra bounce in your step you can get a healthy juice next door to one side or the Trader Joe's plaza is to the other side. read more

great doing business here fare honest pricing . service was safe & accommodating . thanks again

Highly recommend bringing your gold, silver and platinum jewelry to DGX! Matt and Sandra are personable, knowledgeable, helpful, honest and friendly. In addition to my appointments being pleasant experiences, I also learned something each time! Exceptional and professional atmosphere. read more

Matthew is so great to work with! I have been in twice to sell jewelry accumulated over time. With gold prices so high, it made sense!! Matt tested items on the spot to verify they were gold (vs gold filled or what karat) and I walked out with a check! Super pleasant, easy and very fair. No need to look anywhere else!!! read more

This was absolutely the best experience I've ever had when it comes to selling jewelry, gold, etc. Matt was amazing - incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, not pushy at all, and truly does his best to give you the most amount he can. The process was seamless and incredibly pleasant. I can't recommend this business enough if you have something to sell. You won't regret it! read more

This is THE BEST place in Los Angeles (or anywhere for that matter) to sell your gold! Matt is a professional who offers the best service and expertise when selling your gold items. The transaction was super simple and easy and I was genuinely surprised at how much money I received for two small pieces of jewelry. No hassle whatsoever. I highly recommend!!! read more

I'm amazed, and thrilled with the professional service I received from Matthew at D&GE. I was nervous to find a reputable place to sell my old broken jewelry and sterling silverware. I did some research and discovered D&GE in Studio City. I highly recommend coming here to get a fair deal on your gold and silver from Mathew. read more

Quick, easy and efficient. All my questions were answered and I didn't feel ripped off. read more

Matt was super helpful, honest and great to work with. He's knowledgeable and gives great advice to sellers so they can get the most for their possessions. Highly recommend Diamond and Gold Exchange. read more

I only use D&G for coin exchange. Have the best prices. Call in advance to get exchange rate and make sure to tell them you called in advance. No haggling on rates. read more

Great comfortable secure family business for LA as well as North Hollywood etc. Spoke to same person on phone and during consultation. Cool gear & art adorn walls. Comprehensive process with full explanations, #respect read more

What wonderful experience!! Highly recommend don't hesitate going there to sell your jewelry. Absolutely amazing!!

Everything went really well start to finish. From the initial outreach via email, to an office visit for appraisal, and ultimately a check in one hand while shaking the other... Matt is a pro. read more

Matt is the absolute BEST! Professional , straight to the point with good energy and was happy to answer any questions I had. This place is the epitome of what a business should be, HIGHLY recommend! read more

I would highly recommend Matthew! I brought in some old family jewelry and he gave me a great price (for whatever was actually gold and sterling silver). His office is very clean and welcoming and Matthew was professional and approachable. I've been to a few "we buy gold" spots in Hollywood and Matthew's business felt nothing like those. I wouldn't hesitate to come back in the future! Anyone looking to sell some old jewelry should absolutely support this small business! read more

Honest & talented appraiser - Matt is highly professional.

This review is long overdue. I came in maybe three weeks ago, with a bunch of old jewelry from my childhood that no longer fit my aesthetic. I was able to get rid of all of it, and get more than most others were offering. The transaction was friendly, safe, and very secure. I really appreciate all the extra precautions with Covid, that this business is taking. Well recommend and will be back. read more

My experience with the Diamond and Gold Exchange was quick, easy and first-rate. I felt very comfortable in their Studio City office, which was easily accessible from the West Side of LA., and had off-street and metered parking available. Matt was professional and gracious, forthcoming with good information, and demonstrated a genuine interest in giving me a very fair price for my jewelry. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt and his colleagues to any of my friends who had gold and diamond jewelry they wanted to sell. read more

I had a 5+ star experience at Diamond and Gold Exchange. Matt was knowledgeable, kind, honest, and excellent to work with. I highly recommend this business for giving correct and honest appraisals of your jewelry. read more

Great experience here! Matthew is a true professional, we felt very comfortable with him. Matthew is knowledgeable, not only with gold and diamonds, but silver, platinum and semi-precious and precious stones. I had a number of pieces of jewelry, not realizing that some were more valuable than I thought. He will be our go-to guy in the future! If I could give him more than 5 stars, I would. read more

Matt was amazing to work with, friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. I highly recommend and will be back for sure.

I have done business with both Matt and Sandra on a number of occasions and there's a reason for it. I keep going back to Diamond and Gold Exchange for all of my gold and silver needs because they consistently provide professional, honest, and extremely knowledgeable service. They've given me highly competitive offers on all pieces I bring in and I'm always left with a sense of trustworthiness that is so refreshing to have when dealing with jewelry brokers. To anyone interested in selling any type of gold, silver, jewelry, coins, and the like I will always highly recommend these guys. Looking forward to more business in the future! read more

Really easy transaction and Matt was very nice and straight forward. I would go to him again for sure.

I can't say enough great things about my experience at the Gold and Diamond Exchange. I had a few sentimental pieces from my Great Aunt that I had been holding onto for 20+ years and wasn't sure what to do with. My sister asked why I still had the jewelry and I didn't have a good reason - it's just been sitting in a box. I took the jewelry to 5 shops for estimates and Matthew was by far the most trustworthy and easy to work with. His purchase offer was higher than the other 4 stores and I knew I made the best decision. My Great Aunt would be thrilled to know that money from her jewelry is being put in our honeymoon fund! Thanks Matt!! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Diamond & Gold Exchange. Matthew was very helpful and accommodating when my mom and I wanted to sell some of our old Jewelry. He seemed very honest, and I feel he gave us a very fair price for the gold we sold him. I would be happy to recommend DGX to any friend. read more

So happy to find a place to sell my jewelry close by my home then going downtown with the hustle and bustle and dealing with all these weird people and weird stores!! Matthew's great guy gave me good prices for my jewelry no bullshit or anything gives you top dollar to so happy to have found him please forget about downtown go to Matthew he will hook you up! Thanks Mat! read more

I LOVE this place! They used to have a place on Melrose, but have since moved... closer Yay!! I inherited jewelry from my grandmother and great-aunt. I had shopped around over the years and this is always my go-to spot. They have ALWAYS been very cool and honest on pricing as well as explaining my pieces to me. Very honest, no pressure and actually very easy to work with. I even sent my mother here, need I say more?! Lol read more

I had recently come into some gold from an inheritance. After shopping around and feeling like I was getting undersold, I went here and I am sooooo glad I did. Matt was definitely the most honest one of the bunch. He knew his stuff and was also very transparent and knowledgeable about current the prices of the market. He definitely subscribes to the "if your honest, people will keep coming back." He's in it for the customers and not the quick buck like I felt like the rest of them were. I have since sent friends there and they all left very happy. read more

After going to two other places, I headed back to give Matt my business. He was knowledgeable, professional and personable. I trusted him and feel like he gave me the best deal. I highly recommend him and would definitely do business with him again. read more

I had a great experience with Diamond and Gold Exchange so I'm surprised to see the negative, run on rant below! Matthew was transparent, polished and professional, got straight to the point, and was a pleasure to do business with. He thoroughly examined and appraised my items. I had taken my pieces to a number of different jewelry buyers throughout Los Angeles, including some in the LA Jewelry District with great reviews here on Yelp actually - and each one gave me a lower valuation than the last and made me feel like they were taking advantage of me in one way or another. Matthew matched the highest valuation I had received, without grilling me about the offers I had already received. I would recommend Diamond and Gold Exchange to anyone! read more

If the scale allowed 6 stars, I would be giving Matt all 6 for certain. Prior to setting an appointment I did a lot of research on places to sell my items. I read these and other reviews and landed on Matt's establishment and I am glad I did. Prior to my appointment, Matt sent me an email with helpful information. That was a pleasant surprise. The office itself was clean as whistle and I mean to say it was pristine. I could tell immediately that Matt was conducting a business as a professional. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and while other places seemed to only be interested in separating my items from me for as little as possible, Matt seemed genuinely interested in the history of a few items. In fact, while he made the best offer he could for a couple especially nice pieces, he actually talked me out of selling them to him and instead encouraged me to pursue other avenues so that they would go to someone who would use them. It was refreshing to come across Matt and see the professionalism with which he conducts his business. Its truly a rarity these days. If you are considering selling things, give Matt a call. You will be glad that you did. Parking can be a bit tricky as the restaurant next door eats up all the spaces during the midday. I just parked it in Trader Joe's parking lot and hoofed it the one half block to Matt's office. The total time I was there was perhaps 30-45 minutes so I don't think TJ's will care. Matt's prices were higher then other places for the most part. That combined with the cleanliness and awesome professionalism make this the only choice in my opinion. When other places fail, I am highly confident that Matt will still be doing great. Cheers. read more

I needed help selling some inherited jewelry and found Diamond & Gold Exchange. Matthew was very understanding, professional and fair. I walked in, showed him the items, he measured, weighed, gave me a quote, explained the current market and therefore the quote, and we were good to go. I highly recommend this company. read more

Summary: Honest and fair Review: If you want to go to someone because you don't want to be taken advantage of, this is the place. I recently lost my job and needed to sell some of my scrap gold and silver. I went to a business that was local to me and they reviewed my jewelry and came back and told me my silver wasn't real. They were clearly trying to take advantage of me so I said I would go to another shop as all my pieces were clearly marked. I made an appointment with Matt and went in with my pieces. He was quick, and within 10 min. he had tested all my pieces and I was on my way. He was professional, polite, and accurate with current pricing. I had done a rough estimation on the value of everything as I have some novice experience in it and was close to what I had expected. I was very please. Not to get in specifics but during our transaction he had made a small error and instead of making it my problem, he took the hit unordered to be as honest as possible. You don't see that kind of business ethics any more and it was very refreshing. Do yourself a favor and don't go anywhere else. read more

So helpful and kind here! Every question I asked was answered and I instantly received a check for my silver. It's a little hard to find, so call them up and they will direct you to the door and buzz you right in! Definitely go to these guys, they are amazing! read more

Matt was not only personable and informative, but gave me the best offer for my gold necklace and bracelet. Transaction was done without a hitch. Would not hesitate in contacting him again. read more
