I truly appreciated her professionalism, transparency, and willingness to educate without expecting anything in return. In my own business, I believe that informed clients make better decisions, so I especially value people who take the time to help others.

They were kind enough to look at some antique Turkoman jewelry I was curious about. Even though I wasn't planning to sell those pieces, they still checked the metal and confirmed the carnelian stones so that I could be a more informed seller when offering them to collectors. Exceptionally honest and fair, they even recommended that I take my grandmother's wedding ring to an appraiser and sell it independently, going so far as to suggest a specific appraiser and a reasonable target price. I had a number in mind going in, and even after choosing to keep a few pieces, they exceeded my goal. They also work with a charity, donating costume jewelry, small gemstones, and miscellaneous items. It was a relief not to have to deal with those myself, and comforting to know they'd go to a good cause. Zach, Len, and Karen were an absolute delight to do business with, and the entire process was pleasant and seamless. I highly recommend the Len Larson Jewelry Company. If I'm ever in the market for a lovely bauble, it will be my first stop.

I asked what he could do just for all the silver bullion I mentioned above from all those different mints and he said his price which I was kinda shocked by. Since he didn't know anything about the paper currency or ancient coins he called over his boss who might've also been the owner he took a look but there was a lot to go through and the store was really busy so I felt bad and said don't worry about the ancient coins and paper currency what can you do for the silver bullion and his number is exactly what I expecting to get in return which was a pretty significant difference than than the first guys number. He clearly was much more knowledgeable about the silver bullion I had and the mints they came from.

When I went back to raise the issue, instead of addressing it, they told me not to come back. Getting misrepresented metal purity twice from the same store is one thing, but being told not to return after catching it is what really says it all. Be careful buying "18k" or "14k" pieces here -- get everything independently tested before you leave the store.

I see a couple of 1 stars and some serious criticisms, but not only was I immensely happy with how I was treated but I immediately felt impressed with the honesty of the gentleman who helped me. The office was very clean, nicely decorated and certainly gave the impression of being treated honestly. Everything was explained to me in detail. I was told what to expect from their testing, what the daily price of gold, and silver was. I had already looked up those prices for that day as well as weighed my jewelry and Gold Rush was spot on! I received cash for the jewelry - immediately. Another thing, at no time was any piece out of my sight; each piece was handled separately, nothing was ever picked up in multiples or groups. There was no chance that something could be exchanged or lost. Personally I would and have recommended this company to my friends. read more

Loved, Loved this place...As my husband recently passed, he throught his 62 years of life amassed a huge quantity of precious metals. I was referred to Gold Rush Denver and not only was I pleaseantly greeted, but actually knew that I was not going to be taken advantage of. As Bill and Adyen not only welcomed me to the store, Ayden educated me on the process of my liquidation of some of the pieces in my collection and helped me through the process. I am not a person who posts reviews as I deal with the company internally. I felt they deserved an exceptional kudos as I felt they went above and beyond. I know that if you select this company they have you in mind when they do business as a part of their corporate strucuture are rare find. Keep up the good work.. read more

Late August 2021, I had a most excellent and educational experience at both the Lakewood and Denver locations of Gold Rush Gold, Silver & Diamond Buyers. Nick (Lakewood) educated me on their process for testing and measuring precious metals and golds, and both locations tested right in front of me. Nick even suggested that it would probably be better for me to sell my two estate diamond rings privately to get better value (the individual diamonds were too small for Gold Rush to value separate from the gold bands upon which they were attached). And both Nick and Dutch provided me great value for the silver, gold, and one diamond necklace I did sell. Both took their time with me, and I highly recommend this business! read more

We decided to get married at the last minute and needed some spending money for our honeymoon. I had some old jewellery and took it to the pawn shop first and was pretty disappointed. Then I went to see Bruce in Aurora. He not only explained everything he was doing but he also taught me all about the jewelry business, which i loved. Then he offered me 75 more dollars than they did. That made a huge difference to us and we really appreciated the extra attention and cash! Go ahead and try the pawn shop first but Bruce will be fair and pay you top dollar for you unwanted items. We won't go anywhere else from now on. Thanks Gold Rush!!!! The Barkers read more

My sister and I inherited some of our Mom's jewelry that really didn't fit our styles, but we'd never sold anything like this before. Brandon (usually at the Centennial location) was terrific! He explained everything he was doing and did all tests right in front of me, which was good because two earrings we thought were silver turned out to be much more valuable 18K white gold! The amount of money offered was based on weight since they melt it all down. (If you want more because it's a famous designer or special design then this probably isn't the place.) Now my sister and I are going to split the cash and each buy a special jewelry piece that we like in Mom's memory. Thanks Brandon! read more

Stop! Don't go anywhere else! I went to the Aurora location and Bruce was not only knowledgeable and friendly, but gave me an education about diamonds and precious metals that was stellar. He gave me a very fair price and was honest, which is rare these days. I have been to several jewelry buyers and Bruce at the Aurora location is easily the nicest, most professional and most ethical person that I have dealt with. He has a very comfortable, secure office and actually made my visit enjoyable. I will go back to Bruce at the Aurora location in a minute and will encourage my friends, family and all of you to do the same if you want fairness and honesty and a great price! read more

I actually visited the Aurora location, it was not at all like I had imagined. A very nice office with a very professional atmosphere. I did not wait long to meet with Bruce and while he assessed my goods we sat and chatted. He was very personable and honest about my goods...I walked out with more cash than I thought I would. What I was most impressed with was that Bruce helped an older woman who he was waiting on before me carry all of her parcels that she could not sell to the thrift store down the street. You don't see kindness like that too often these days. read more

Jared was very professional and he walked me through the entire process, Jared really explained it in detail how everything is weighed and checked for purity, not to mention how clean and comfortable the office was, I felt like i was at home, and i never once felt pressured. I will definitely go to gold rush again. read more

This place was GREAT! I read the reviews on Yelp but I had a friend who went to the Westminster location and I saw it on Facebook. So I decided to go see what I could get for some old stuff I don't wear anymore. Jared was fantastic, the place was very very nice. Jared showed me the whole process and told me what was going on every step of the way. He made me an offer, and of course I took it, but I never felt any pressure from a sales pitch. What a great experience! read more
