My family needed help with some jewelry we inherited and found John through Yelp. We called him…read morefirst to learn about how he works and immediately felt like he was the right resource for us. We also liked that we didn't have to park and carry a box of potentially valuable jewelry downtown--the trip to Lake Oswego was worth it for that reason alone. He was terrific! We met him as a group and used his "triage" service, and he swiftly went through a multi-generational jewelry collection and tested and separated pieces that had significant potential value or simply contained gold that could be melted down. As he was going through everything we brought, he educated us about gemstones, how the jewelry and auction industry works, how to maximize value when selling and his connections/resources for selling items and more--he was a wealth of information. It was obvious that he was a total professional who's been doing this for a long time. Plus, he was a really nice guy! He also took care of getting the gold pieces we didn't plan to auction or sell melted down and gave us a very favorable commission rate compared to what we would've gotten from a jewelry store or other company that liquidates gold. We had a check in less than a week after seeing him. Highly recommend him!

I went mining for Oregon sunstones in southern Oregon just for the thrill of it, and came back with some stuff I thought might be worth cutting. Lisa took the time to look through my collection and recommended five to send off for cutting. She had them cut to standard sizes, max karat weight, and they turned out beautifully. But wait, there's more! She also helped me pick out a couple of cabochon settings once I decided which two I wanted to make into necklaces. I decided on a red one for my mom and a schiller one for me. I picked the gold colors and settings and when they came back they were absolutely stunning! This was such a fun and unique experience for me, and Lisa was helpful, friendly, and just plain fun to hang out with during the entire 10-week process. I learned a lot and I'm so glad I did it. Thank you to both Lisa and Dyke for creating the best gift ever for my mom who has had an exceptionally rough year. *love* Oh, there's another thing-- they were able to make a gold nugget my dad gave me into a pendant, too! I think these guys can take anything you pull out of the ground and make it pretty.

Welp it wasn't steel and it was white gold and now out of luck because of her mistake. Blamed it on me and gas-lit me for it. Really unprofessional and wouldn't ever do business again.

After months of emails and sharing with Ms. Baggenstoss all of my existing documents regarding my…read morecollection she unceremoniously emailed me that she needed to "resign from your assignment due to a time crunch currently; apologies for that." Advice to Ms. Baggenstoss- If you don't have time to take on new clients then don't take it them on waste months of time and then drop them 4 days before the work was scheduled to be completed. It's unprofessional, it's a waste of my time and it's completely avoidable. Advice to readers- Be warned, you may spend months only to get nowhere and need to start again. Response: If Ms. Bagenstoss had been remotely apologetic in her cancellation email ( or made any previous mention of health issues or time constraints) I wouldn't have posted negative reviews. Indeed when I emailed her my response to the abrupt cancellation (essentially this review with a mention that I would leave negative reviews) her response in full was "Thank you!". Taking care of yourself and treating other people's time and energy respectfully are not mutually exclusive.

Not all of it was gold, jewelry from my mom. Went in and I swear 15 min later it was tested, weighed and I walked out with a check that could pay for a cruise. Lovely people, patient, answered all my questions. AND FUN!!!
