Portland’s Top Alternative To Pawn Shops
At Portland Gold Exchange, we offer same day purchasing of your gold, silver and diamonds. Our purchase prices are posted and updated every day on most items such as recognized gold and silver coins, bars and other bullion. For jewelry, pricing is based on market rates for gold in relation to Karat weight (or in the case of silver, purity).
We are experts in appraising jewellery, bullion and diamonds. We have the latest and greatest equipment and a knowledgeable, experienced staff to ensure you get the most for your precious metals
Why come to us instead of a pawn shop:
We’re Precious Metal and Jewelry Experts
Pawn shops buy everything, from guitars and amplifiers to household appliances, firearms, collectibles and more. We only buy precious metals, including gold, silver and platinum, as well as diamonds and luxury watches.
Bigger Payouts
Most pawn shops don’t have the equipment to accurately assess the value of your gold or silver, so their offer will be lower by inclusion of a “safety net” to ensure they can make a profit. At Portland Gold Exchange, we can accurately assess the value of your gold and silver coins, bullion, jewelry or your diamonds.
Never Any Hidden Charges or Appraisal Fees
We offer free valuations on your valuables. If you don’t like our offer, you have no obligation to sell whatsoever.
A Safe, Secure, Trustworthy Environment
Our store is a safe environment where you can feel comfortable doing business. And since our offers are based on market rates (and your valuables will be authenticated accurately), you can rest assured that you are getting the best price possible and the same offer the next customer would get if they brought in the exact same valuables. We built our reputation on treating our customers fairly.
We Buy Based On More Than Just The Value Of Precious Metal Content
Most jewelry is worth no more than the precious metal content it contains. But some jewelry, because of the manufacturer, popularity or how rare it is, has an intrinsic value that is higher than the sum of the gold, silver or platinum content. If you are bringing in coveted jewelry (particularly antique pieces of jewelry), we can offer you more based on the intrinsic value.
We Buy Diamond Jewelry Too
We buy diamonds (many pawn shops do not). Because they don’t have certified gemologists available, pawn shops generally aren’t comfortable purchasing diamonds. We have the personnel to accurately evaluate your diamonds and offer you a fair price.
We Want Our Visitors To Get The Maximum Value for Their Valuables
While we usually offer the highest payouts on jewelry, gold and diamonds, sometimes it can pay more to sell certain items privately. We will always try to give you the best advice so you can sell your valuables for the best price. We will never withhold information that can be beneficial to anyone who visits our store.
