I reached out on Yelp to ask for a quote to set a pair of loose diamond round earrings in 14k white…read moregold. I was quoted $300 for 1.5 carat total weight. Please keep in mind, at the time of the quote, gold was valued at $5100 per ounce and when I visited, it dropped to $4600 per ounce. I came in, and was told it would be $400-$450 because my total carat weight was in actuality 1.58. I let them know about the estimate I received, to which she angrily said, this is why I hate it when they do online quotes, because people don't know what sizes they have. And then she also got upset because she doesn't know who gave me the quote because of the way Yelp profiles are set up. My mistake for the sizing, but it's not even a full 1/10th of a carat weight. An extra $100 for 0.08. I would understand an increase relative to the weight, had it been 2 total carat weight, that's completely reasonable at half a carat per $100. She said it costs $200 to source the settings, and it doesn't include the labor to polish and clean the item. She started stuttering when she was trying to justify the pricing, so I knew she was lying. A quick google search tells you differently, and they have access to warehouse pricing, so let's be real, she chose to arbitrarily charge more because she felt like it. I left and went with another local jeweler, where they gave me the exact same setting for $300. Don't take what they tell you at face value, do your own research, and make sure you don't get swindled by this business trying to take advantage because they think you don't know any better.

1 star -- Don't waste your time (literally) at Media Time…read more I arrived at the mall with an hour before a doctor's appointment and expected basic competence -- doors open at 10am, right? Not for Media Time. Someone left a sticky note on the door: "Be back in 5 minutes." I waited 45 minutes, left three voicemail messages, and still no sign of life. Peering through the glass, I noticed their display clocks couldn't even agree on the hour -- poetic, if they were shooting for "timeless." If you value punctuality, reliability, or the simple concept of opening when you say you will, go somewhere else and save your time.

I brought in **36.8 grams of 14K gold scrap** and was paid **$2,070** total…read more After getting home and recalculating everything, I realized the payout was extremely low compared to the estimated melt value at the time, which was around **$3,264**. That means approximately **36.6%** of the value was kept. For people who may not know: * A very fair/refiner-level buyer often keeps around **10% or less** * A decent local gold buyer usually keeps around **10-20%** * Keeping over **35%** is extremely high I do want to be fair and say this was partly my mistake because I should have slowed down and double-checked everything before agreeing. I had calculated my gold beforehand, but once the pieces started getting separated, weighed individually, and moved around during testing, I got confused and didn't stop to fully redo the math in the moment. It wasn't until I got home and sat down with the numbers that I realized how far off the payout actually was. At the same time, this is also why I personally would not return. An honest buyer who is trying to build trust and long-term customers usually does not let someone walk out with this large of a gap without at least explaining the percentages more clearly or offering something closer to a fair market payout. I'm posting this mainly as a warning for others: if you're selling gold, especially larger amounts of scrap gold, know the approximate melt value beforehand, take your time, and get multiple quotes before agreeing to anything.

I walked by Media City Jewelers many times and I read a few reviews on Yelp to check it out. The lady I dropped the ring to was nice, knowledgeable. The price she quoted was decent and they didn't change it! She mentioned it was gonna take a bit more than week to have it fixed. That was fine, didn't need it right away. I called on the day she suggested I should check on it and it was ready! It'd be nice of they call you, but it's a small business! The ring was nicely enlarged, can't tell where they did it, very smooth, fits my finger nicely! Glad I found them! They also fix watches besides making, selling, fixing jewelry. Need these kind of places!
