Don't go there!!
We wanted to sell old jewelry and also went to Orsini as they mentioned in the window that they offered the highest price per gram for gold. Fortunately we went to another shop before with the jewelry (necklace and ring) and they weighted it in front of us (so we knew it was exactly 31.6 grams). At Orsini, the woman that helped us took the gold in the back, stayed away for almost 10 minutes and came back mentioning that it was 24.5 grams......she immediately asked for our passport to give us the money and close the deal.
We were really flabbergasted.... Unbelievable!! We confronted her that we knew that it was 31.6 grams, she again went to the back (stayed away again for 10 minutes) and came back mentioning that we were right and that it was 31.6 grams. She did not even apologize..... Eventually she offered us a ridiculous price based on the right weight. It turned out to be a price per gram much lower than a lot of other shops in the diamond district.
We asked her about the huge difference but she just tried to end the conversation and didn't t want to respond to our questions.
We just want to warn you for this shop!! There are much better shops in the diamond district! read more
