Colorado Gold Mart

I was looking to get a ring resized. I chose this place based on a Unilocal review I read that said these guys were friendly, resized a ring in 5 minutes, and it only cost $ 20. My experience was the exact opposite.
I walked in here and the guys at the counter were having a personal conversation that I felt like I interrupted. Not off to a good start. The guy tells me the ring resizing associate has left for the day… so much for it being done on the same day. The guy proceeded to tell me it would be $ 50 to resize my ring. I felt uncomfortable with that price, so I mentioned the Unilocaler that said it was only $ 20 and he laughed in my face, telling me that the review was from 5 years ago and the price of gold has gone up since then. My husband interjected here, and said «But you are reducing the amount of gold by resizing from a larger size to a smaller size.» The guy said in a very condescending tone that he would consider buying the gold leftover from the ring resize, if it mattered that much to us. I felt humiliated, he treated us like we were stupid. As it turns out, I did a little researching and the Unilocal review I read that stated $ 20 pricing for a quick ring resize was from 2 MONTHS AGO!!! I couldn’t believe that he had the nerve to lie to me and try to swindle me for more money because I’m a woman! I took the ring back and told him I changed my mind. Any person who talks down to their customers, lies to them, or tries to cheat them doesn’t deserve my money! I ended up finding a mom and pop shop down the way who quoted a fair price, and they were efficient and kind. Screw Colorado Gold Mart, take your business anywhere else!

When I got engaged, to the relief of my fiancé, I did all the jewelry shopping (he showed up to pay the bill). I love jewelry. I started with most of the big chains and looked at other places, like the big jewelry show at Denver Mart, but ended up using Colorado Gold Mart. They had the best prices and best customer service. I’m not going to go into all the details about how they were better, but I got the ring I wanted the way I wanted it. I also got another ring with a stone, and a couple pinky rings. When it was time to get wedding bands, I went back. When it comes time to order anniversary rings, I’ll go back again.

If you need your ring resized, look no further. I just needed my new wedding band resized. Assuming it’s new and hasn’t been broken/​resized before (which they’ll ask you), then it’s a quick fix (I was in and out in less than 5 minutes) and cost me only $ 20. I called around to a couple places, and these guys were definitely the cheapest, most no non-​sense place. Highly recommended!

Got a brand new ring sized here. Poor craftsmanship left a seam and two large visible dents. Very disappointed, I will take it somewhere else for the repair. Would not recommend.

I sold 2 gold rings. I received a fair price with no haggling and no pressure. I’ll be back to get a ring re-​sized and for watch batteries. Very satisfied.

Same day rhodium plating and sizing. Hard to beat.

These guys were great! I went in not just once, but twice! I had several pieces of gold and silver jewelry that I no longer wore and was looking to declutter during my move. Colorado Gold Mart walked me through the process, explained what they were looking and testing for, and then provided the latest prices and what my proceeds would be should I decide to sell. I had never sold jewelry before, and these guys put me right at ease. Thank you again for a pleasant, and profitable, experience!

After reading the positive reviews, I thought I would try giving Colorado Gold Mart some business. As it turns out, I choose to not give them any business, and felt the need to warn others of the scam I ran into.
I went in with some 1904 and earlier Extra Fine Morgan silver dollars, these were originally purchased through AMPEX (American Precious Metals Exchange), and are accurate on their grading. At the time I went in, XF Morgan’s were being purchased by AMPEX for $ 28.10 per coin and they were selling them for $ 33.93.
When I talked with the sales person, (I believe he was one of the owners) and told him I was interested in what they would purchase XF Morgan’s for, he went to his computer and pulled up current spot price, not Morgan price (I watched his computer screen). After keying in some numbers on his calculator, he came back over to me, and said the most that he could give me would be $ 12.86 per coin! I asked if that was the best he could do, and I also mentioned that what he was offering was very low, he just shrugged and said that was the best he could do. His offer wasn’t even close to what I could sell them for at spot pricing.
It’s disappointing that Colorado Gold Mart is no better than a shady auto mechanic. They were offering $ 15.24 less per coin than AMPEX, and AMPEX notoriously buys low.
For those who have given positive reviews, I only hope you really did get what your items were really worth.
For those thinking about trying Colorado Gold Mart, my only advice other than to avoid this place, make sure you do your homework and know what your items are worth.
As a side note, I have since sold my coins (bag of 100) for $ 36 per coin to another local dealer.
VERY DISSAPOINTED!

After reading other reviews on here, I stopped in this morning around 10 am to see if they could resize my engagement ring. I was pretty anxious about this process, and did not want to part with my ring for 2 – 3 days. Randy said he could have it done by 1 pm that day and quoted me at a much better price than 2 other jewelers I had checked out. They joked with me and made me feel comfortable leaving my antique ring with total strangers for a couple of hours. At 1:01 pm I pulled up and they had my ring ready for me instantly. Fit like a glove! This was the most painless process ever and I am so glad I stopped in! They were great!

Back story: I was pretty nervous to get my wedding ring resized (it’s from the 1920s and was originally worn by my grandmother). I had a frustrating experience with a DIFFERENT jeweler who worked on my engagement ring (they wiped the engraving off when they resized it) and I didn’t want to go through that again.
These guys are great. They were professional, attentive and wanted to be sure I was comfortable with what they were going to do to my ring and used full disclosure about the process. I was expecting the process to take weeks but instead I walked out with it that day fitting perfectly. Rather than taking gold away from the ring to make it smaller they used a technique that «squeezed» it smaller. It kept the integrity of the ring in tact and didn’t mess with the engraving at all. They also cleaned the ring for me to make it look new. They casually demonstrated that they know exactly what they are doing. They also were funny which made for a more pleasant (less stuffy) experience.
I will definitely go back to them for any jewelry I need work on.

These guys are the real deal: honest, reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable. When one of the tips broke off of my engagement ring, I took it in just to make sure the diamond wasn’t going to fall out while I shopped around for a new setting. Lo and behold, they told me that not only could they repair it, the cost was only $ 60. Boy, was Mr. P happy! They guaranteed the repair to last for at least five years, at which time the ring will be 20 years old. Just in time for a nice anniversary present!
The repair looks great and it’s hard to tell there’s anything different about it. I take it in every few months so they can check all the prongs on my ring and clean my wedding set, all free of charge. They also change my watch batteries as needed.
If you’re in the market to buy or sell gold, silver, platinum or vintage watches, check out Colorado Gold Mart. They have some beautiful items in their cases and I know they’ll give you a great deal.

I went in here for some maintenance on my rings as well as to get rid of some scrap gold that I hadn’t worn for years. I will not mention the jeweler across the street but they offered me $ 105 less than what Colorado Gold Mart gave me and also rhodium plates at a MUCH cheaper price. Brian and the other gentlemen inside are super nice and in such a short period of time, I have a trusting relationship with them, which is rare to find in the jewelry business. Obviously, you aren’t going to come in here and buy brand new pieces, but for all of your repairs and maintenance, I would highly recommend coming here!

Went there on a recommendation from a friend. Needed to get my wife’s platinum wedding ring resized and soldered together with her engagement ring (which had been soldered together 9 years ago by one of those mall jewelry stores that used white gold and did a sloppy job). My buddy warned me, the place is in a strip mall, and looks a liitle shady — but trust him, after you meet these guys you will know they are OLD pros.
We got there right at opening on a Sat, got buzzed in, and were done in 10 mins. They cut off her ring super fast, making sure to be careful not to cut her or damage the ring. Determined the size the ring needed to be, chatted up the kids a little bit (showed them a small meteor rock from the case), and we were on our way.
A week later my wife picked up the ring and it looks amazing, great soldering job, nice and smooth and high polished — looked like new, and they gave us a free cleaning.
When you want your jewelry worked on, you want that old weathered guy, who lives and breathes this stuff. You want him to be a third generation jeweler. These guys are just that — old pros, Armenians I think, and they knew their stuff. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time.

Top dollar for gold. Fast and friendly service. We noticed other gold buyers were actually selling to them

A great place to do business. Brian and Randy gave me top dollar for my coins and odds and ends of gold. Then they repaired several pieces for me. Finally, after 20 years of the same wedding set :-) Brian found me an exceptional diamond for a new setting I picked out.
They are really busy sometimes — but always manage to get it right the first time. 2 thumbs up.

the men that own this are great! they are honest and trustworthy.
i would only go to them for repairs as well as buying my jewelry
from now on. don’t let the small store fool you. best kept secret
in town.

Colorado Gold Mart specializes in buying and selling vintage watches, along with new and used jewelry.
They will purchase your old gold and silver jewelry, flat ware, or whatever you have that’s made of gold or silver. I recently took in some rings that I hadn’t worn since high school and got a big wad of cash. Who doesn’t love having a business pay you $? Nobody ;)
They also offer a full service watch and jewelry repair on site. They even fixed the clasp on my watch, which wouldn’t stay closed, for FREE!
They have the nicest staff of guys there too. Fully equipped with a funny Russian guy who knows all kinds of silly jokes.
I love this place, and they’re up in da hood yo!
