Came it to get some old jewelry appraised and sell. The staff/ owners were amazing and helped me understand the different pieces, weights, etc of what I had. It's a great family owned business, professional, helpful and welcoming. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

If you're seeking a small, emergency loan to cover an unexpected expense, head on over to this business, tucked away in an industrial strip mall in Sterling VA. The owner & staff are friendly, courteous, understanding & cooperative and the terms are excellent. My experience with this business has been extremely positive & I recommend it without reservation! read more

I forget who I spoke to but he was very honest. He gave me a fair price for the stuff that was broken, and for a ring I wanted to sell, he was clear about not being able to pay the best price for the diamond (way off what I wanted) since they just deal with metals and told me to try Ebay or Craigslist. Which I did. So I would definitely take jewelry here again if needed. read more

Wonderful store, wonderful service. On this visit I was bringing in old gold to sell and Mo very patiently looked through what I brought in, weighed it, and we discussed the value. It was an enjoyable experience to watch him do his appraisal work but there's more. This store carries some lovely pieces of jewelry from unique designs to the standard diamond solitaire engagement rings and wedding bands and other things in between. I highly recommend VA Gold Buyers/Velasquez Jewelers (same location) to anyone shopping for a nice piece of jewelry for a very special gift that would become a family heirloom.....hopefully my husband will see this review ;) read more

UPDATE 10/19/13 I went back and these gentlemen were just as friendly, efficient and courteous. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Extremely friendly staff who took the time to explain the process for testing, weighing, and payment. Very fast service. Highly recommend.

This is my first time coming to a place that buys gold. This place is awesome! I worked with Mario. He gave me great prices for my jewelry which were mostly 22k yellow gold. I am happy to have come to this place and will recommend to all my friends! read more

I sold them some old silver and gold jewelry that I no longer needed. I had a very positive experience and came away happy with the price they gave me for all of it. Efficient and polite. read more

After checking with a few other gold buyers and suspecting they were not offering fair prices, I decided to do some research online on gold prices and what I could reasonably expect for my items. After getting a little educated, I stopped by VA Gold Buyers in Sterling and just let them tell me what they would offer. I was pleasantly surprised! Not only were the people that I dealt with very personable, they were also very honest, answered all my questions, explained how different karat weights had different value and how it was calculated. They offered me a significantly higher price for my items than any of the others. I recommend them highly and they will be my first and only stop in the future! read more

I have used VA Gold Buyers twice, and I just wanted to tell everyone how happy I was with their service. After getting an online quote for a piece of jewelry that I wanted to sell, and also getting an in-person price from another jewelry buying establishment, they were BY FAR the best price, AND, their service was wonderful. I don't remember the gentleman from my first visit, but this time I worked with Carlos, and he was so helpful about explaining the process of the sale and how they worked out the price I received. I know it's hard to decide the best way to handle this type of transaction without a lot of knowledge, but VA Gold Buyers made me feel comfortable, they were very pleasant and I will definitely be back to them for any future jewelry making needs, jewelry selling, etc. read more

Professional, respectful and friendly family business. I've been there a few times to sell old gold, and each time I got a very fair price. They also sell some of the most unique and lovely pieces there. First quality I would recommend VA Gold Buyers and Jewelry highly! read more

I had the pleasure to speak with Carlos during my visit to appraise and sell some jewelry. Carlos was courteous and professional, he reviewed the pieces with me, And clearly explained their method for reaching their price. I am very satisfied with the experience and would recommend them 100%. Also, parking is ample for this place, and the store is easy to spot. read more

This place of business was clean, organized, and the gentleman, Carlos, was extremely professional. Not only did he explain the whole process to testing the gold he explained the entire process and ensured I was comfortable with everything. Very competitive rates and class A customer service. I would highly recommend them and would use them again if I need to. read more

To whom it may concern, I visited Va. Gold Buyers on 11-22-13.I was new at pawning and not familiar with their polices that were written in contract. I assumed from talking with the gentleman that the diamond/14k gold ring I left with him for $200 that when I decided to come pick up my ring it would cost $12 a month that it was there.Never once did he explain to me that I had to come in each month and pay him the $12.00. I came back to retrieve my ring on March 21st with cash in my hand to pay the $12 monthly fee.At that time he told me he did not have my ring anymore (did not know whether he sold it or melted it).This ring had a $5000 value along with that it was my 25th anniversary ring where I worked and I stressed that issue when I pawned it and I would be back to pick it up. Well after the 15 days following the first 30 days he took it and who knows where my 25 years of hard work went.He basically stole the $4,800 worth and put in his coffer. You know my phone number was written very large across the bottom of the contract HE NEVER CALLED ME ONCE TO TELL ME IM GOING TO SELL YOUR RING IF YOU DONT COME IN AND MAKE PAYMENT --NOT ONCE. NOR DID I RECEIVE ANYTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THE ISSUE. iS THIS ANYWAY TO DO BUSINESS!!!!!! NOT ONLY DID HE STEAL THE MONEY BUT HE TOOK AWAY MY 25 YEARS OF HARD WORK. Leonard Wade read more
