Family-Owned.
Diamond District.
30+ Years.
New York Gold Buyers is a family-owned jewelry buying business located in the heart of Manhattan's Diamond District. We've built our reputation on transparency, fair pricing, and treating every customer with respect.
The Original Gold Buyer in the Diamond District
New York Gold Buyers was founded with a single goal: to be the most trusted, highest-paying jewelry buyer in New York City. Located at 30 W. 47th Street — the heart of the Diamond District — we have served thousands of clients across the city and the five boroughs for over three decades.
We are a family-owned business. That means every client who walks through our door gets personal attention, honest communication, and a fair offer based on real market prices — not a corporate formula designed to maximize margins at your expense.
"We built this business on referrals. Every customer who leaves happy is the best advertisement we have."
Our location in the Diamond District isn't just an address — it's a statement. We operate where the jewelry industry lives, which gives us direct access to refineries, dealers, and the most current market intelligence. That access translates directly into better payouts for our clients.
Edward Thompson
Edward Thompson is a second-generation jeweler who has spent his career mastering the art of evaluating precious metals, diamonds, and luxury timepieces. Growing up in the jewelry industry gave him an instinct for quality and value that no certification can fully replicate.
Edward opened New York Gold Buyers with a clear mission: to pay the highest prices in New York City while operating with complete transparency. He personally oversees valuations for significant pieces and ensures every client receives the professional, respectful service they deserve.
Under his leadership, New York Gold Buyers has grown from a single location into one of the most reviewed and recommended jewelry buyers in Manhattan — with an excellent reputation built entirely on word of mouth and repeat business.

Tested In Front of You
We test purity and weigh every item openly — using DCA-certified calibrated scales. You see every reading before any offer is made. No backroom, no mystery.
Live Market Pricing
Offers are calculated from current spot prices — not fixed in-house buyback sheets. What you see is what the market says your item is worth.
Direct Refinery Access
We work directly with our own refinery and established dealers — removing middlemen and passing those savings directly to you in the form of higher payouts.

We Cut Out the Middleman — You Keep the Difference
Many NYC gold buyers rely on third-party resellers to move what they purchase, which forces them to pay less upfront to protect their margin. We work directly with our own refinery and established jewelry dealers — so there are no middlemen taking a cut.
That structure means we can consistently offer stronger payouts than competitors who buy at lower prices because they have to resell through a chain. When you sell to us, you're selling as close to the source as possible.
