Specialties
UGX buys all precious metal jewelry, scrap, coins, rounds, ingots and bullion in any denomination. Our team can determine whether your items have collectable value even beyond their precious metal content and we are happy to purchase these items also. We also are a buyer and retailer of diamonds.
History
Established in 2010.
Upstate Gold Exchange opened its doors in Simpsonville, South Carolina in May of 2010 when two locally established families banded together to provide professional precious metal services. But don't let our newness fool you. We have plenty of precious metal savvy and experience. Tony, the patriarch and anchor of the business has been buying and selling precious metal in South Carolina for decades. Jason, Tony's son, has been assisting him along the way. Steve, who focuses on the business side, is a bit of a propeller head; he spends most of his time making sure processes run smoothly and that all transactions are compliant with South Carolina laws. "The 'We Buy Gold' business has been wrongly associated with pawn shops, title loans and cash-n-go storefronts which are often viewed as sketchy. We want our gold business to be upscale and professional. We like a friendly, safe and pleasant environment and that is what we want to provide for our customers."
Meet the Business Owner: Jason S.
Our Upstate Gold Exchange family has been involved in precious metals for years, but in 2010 we decided to open a storefront in Simpsonville for the public where we could expand our services. The reception to UGX was awesome, and within a few months we had opened our second location in Greenville, which also took off and remains very strong. A couple of years more and we now have five locations and a larger UGX family, all local and in the Greenville area of SC. We have moved from dealing exclusively in precious metals, and branched out into the worlds of numismatics (coins), diamonds and vintage jewelry. We have two bench jewelers on staff, as well as a diamond grader.
Our goal at UGX is to offer great customer service and to build trust in an industry where integrity is paramount. We aim to be a quality business. The owners of Upstate Gold Exchange live to honor and glorify God, as gold and silver will soon pass away.
Please let us know how we may be of service.
Jason, UGX
