Had a good experience when I bought a new band for a diamond I inherited from my grand mother. Tim was generous with the price and I was able to trade in some old jewelry to help with buying it . Ran into some issues when the ring was too big and one of the baguette stones was missing on the side. I had gone to a diff store ONLY to get sized properly. When I contacted Tim to inform him of the situation, he immediately thought I was asking him to repair another stores work . Before I was disrespected and accused of something that I didn’t do, I really wish clarification was sought. I fully understand that a text message that I had sent may have been misinterpreted, but no one has the right to speak to me like that. It was completely inappropriate, rude, and disrespectful. Once I had to experience that unnecessarily, I chose not to return as I have family in the business and can deal with it on my own. I’mNot one that believes that the customer is always right. But no one deserves to be spoken to like that. And So even though I bought a nice band, came to me damaged and now I have to get it fitted elsewhere. Sad but true!
I am a retired 69 year-old Wall Street executive. Over the course of my lifetime, I have frequented dozens of jewelry establishments in the New Jersey, New York City and the Connecticut areas, and none of them ever came close to providing the level of courtesy and professionalism I recently encountered at Bergen County Gold and Diamonds.Tim, the owner and proprietor of Bergen County Gold and Diamonds, exudes class, fairness, and friendliness, a combination that is hard to find today during the course of most business interactions.I had several items I was looking to sell and buy, and Tim spent an inordinate amount of time with me until I was super comfortable with all of my jewelry decisions. And I doubt if there is anyone in the tri-state area that knows more about Rolex watches than Tim does.Overall, it was the best experience by far Ive ever had at a jewelry establishment. I am thrilled a friend of mine referred me to Tim, and am looking forward to paying him another visit this year, just as the holidays roll around.
Went to Bergen County Gold and Diamonds today for the first time and now I wouldnt consider going anywhere else. The owner Timothy is professional and courteous. He took the time to explain the entire process up front and patiently answered all of my questions. Make sure to greet Molly his canine companion too !
I brought jewelry and sterling silver to Timothy. He is knowledgeable, skillful, professional and very nice! He explained everything he was doing as he was doing it with me present. I watched and learned a lot too! I was so happy to find someone I felt I could trust. I recommend him highly!
Bergen County really went over the top for me. I dealt with Timmy and he exceeded my expectations. Check out my custom engagement ring for my fiancé that we made step by step. It is amazing. He helped me pick out the main diamond, get the setting that I wanted, and helped me find all of the micro pave around the band. Of course she loves it!!! It’s perfect. What a score! Highly recommended.
I had a very good experienceNeeded to sell some silverTim was professional and friendlyDefinitely would do business again
We brought our gold to Tim, the owner, He clearly tested everything we had and explained the process to us. He has all the prices posted and gave us a very fair price. We would definitely go to him again.
Tim helped me in every step of selecting the right diamond and setting. In less than a week, he out together the perfect engagement ring. The fiance loves it! Thanks Tim for being so diligent in helping make this happen and providing quality products that speak for themselves. Coming back for all other jewelry I need!
I came here based on the reviews I read and I am glad I did. Timmy, the store owner, explained the process of appraising and selling jewelry, which is what I went there for. I didnt know much about selling the jewelry I had, but he walked me through the whole thing. Hes very friendly, easy to talk to, and professional. Ill definitely be back. Highly recommended.
As a former employee of Tiffany & Co., I’ve developed high expectations when it comes to the quality of jewelry. And although I was not a sales associate at Tiffany’s, I was privy to the prices of Tiffany’s iconic solitaire engagement rings. Which brings me to my experience with Tim at Bergen County Gold & Diamonds. The quality of his jewelry is exquisite and his prices are extremely reasonable! My fiancé and I selected a 1.8 carat solitaire on an eternity band, and based on the feedback I’ve received, I’m convinced people assume my fiancé spent a lot more than he actually did. And our experience with Tim was wonderful! My nature is to question any type of salesman, and despite my multitude of questions, Tim proved to be patient, honest, reasonable and extremely knowledgeable. I encourage you to visit Tim’s shop for al of your jewelry desires - you can’t go wrong with buying from him.
I’m not usually a person who writes reviews, however, with Tim, the owner of Bergen County Gold and Diamonds, I felt I must. I had a box of coins my husband had collected before we were married. Having no idea the value of the coins I had, I Goggled coin dealers. Many people gave Tim an outstanding review. I must say, I was very impressed with Tim’s ability to evaluate the many coins I had. He also knew the value of the coins I had. Very few of the coins I had did he not know the value of. If he was unsure, he looked up online or in his current coin book and shared with me. I find Tim to be very thorough and very honest with the prices he gave me. I was very pleased and impressed with Tim’s knowledge of currency. I would have no problem recommending him to others and I would not hesitate to use him again in the future!
I would recommend this jeweler to anyone from sea to shinning sea. My experience with this jeweler pales in comparison with the experience my soon to be wife. She was in the market for brides made favors and decided on an Anklets for the girls. Time the jeweler designed a beautiful custom one of a kind brides made flavor for the wedding party!!!! Needless to say I had to have him design a one of a kind wedding ring for my soon to be wife. Tim somehow managed to design something as beautiful as my fiancé. 🙏
Tim is such a warm and friendly jeweler. I had my wedding ring upgraded at a fair and respectful price. Tim was so knowledgeable on my beautiful GIA stone. I absolutely love it. Tim is a man of his word. You won’t be disappointed.
Tim is the true definition of customer service a definitely embody what a manager is supposed to be. I called to order a custom piece for my wifes birthday in advance. Tim was extremely professional and helpful. Today I arrived to the store and I was greeted by Tim and his customer service was outstanding. Definitely have a loyal customer in ME! I highly recommend this location for fine beautiful and unique jewelry. My wife is going to be so surprised! Thanks for all your help.
I was looking for a store to sell my jewelry, and reading the reviews first, I decided to come here. Happy that I did. Everybody mentions the owner Timothy so when I went, Timothy happened to be there and let me tell you I was not disappointed. He is really straight up about what he is willing to pay and also very down to earth.No bs here. Was talking about coins after the fact, and without no intentions of bringing my fathers coins, I initiated that I will bring my fathers coins which he will appraise for free. Really down to earth dude. Def coming back, Thanks for everything Timothy.For sure if your selling jewelry, this is the place.
Excellent service and also offered best price for items I was selling. Highly recommended to shop or sell here!!
My boyfriend and I had a great experience here today. We were greeted by the owner Tim and we were beyond impressed and satisfied with our experience. You can look up customer service in the dictionary and you’ll find Tim right on there. Aside from being an overall great person, he was very honest and super informative on gold and the business. I’ve never been treated like how Tim treated us today, I would highly recommend him!
The owner Mr. Tim is such a nice down to earth person. He gave me a good price for my bracelet. I went to other buyers and he has the best deal. I will definitely come back to him again. Come to him if you want someone that you can really trust. Thanks again sir!
Bergen County Gold and Diamonds has certainly earned their reputation for excellence with their unique pieces and stones. I purchased my 3-karat oval cut solitaire engagement ring and am nothing less than completely pleased!!!! Tim is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and provided a comfortable experience for me. You are even greeted by Molly... the furriest, cutest gold buyer EVER! They have the best prices around, we will definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience, Tim!!! 😁
Absolutely class.First just wanted to say thanks for the service. I ordered a diamond earring here. When i picked it up, i realized they had upgraded to a screw back because of increased security and less risk of it opening.Screw backs bother my ear and when i explained that to the owner he offered a full return or to change the diamond setting that same day. Amazed at that service, i chose to get the diamond i wanted and wait the extra few hours.They delivered it to me and its really perfect and exactly what i wanted and without a doubt the best price around. I would recommend them a million times over. Thanks again.
These guys know their stuff. Theyre honest and explaine everything from the moment you walk in the door. They dont pressure you to sell any items you walk in with and they make you feel very comfortable and welcome. If you are on the fence about selling your items, they are very understanding and are very straight up with you. If you are looking to sell any broken/mismatched jewelry or any jewelry, coins or memorabilia, visit Bergen County Gold and Diamonds. They give the best offers around Bergen County and NYC...
Timothy G rang me in and that started the experience. He went through every item I had brought in, teaching me how to know what each item’s value would be. He was friendly, patient and loquacious. I was pleased with the experience and I’d go back and refer others.
Tim certainly surpassed my expectations of how a loose diamond is valued. After several emails and low ball quotes from well known diamond buyers from NYC and Bergen County, I found Tims initial offer exactly in the projected range that I thought I should get. Honestly going into the city after taking off time from work, tolls, parking, and being at the mercy of diamond experts is daunting and intimidating. Tim made the whole experience easy and very comfortable. I highly recommend speaking to Tim 1st before dealing with anyone else.
Me and my wife to be had a great experience buying the engagement ring from Tim! We got a great diamond, and for the right price! Tim took the time to teach us about the cuts, colors, and clarity and helped us pick the right GIA stone to make my fiance very happy!
Tim made my wife a beautiful custom wedding band insert for her engagement ring. Loaded with diamonds and class. Everyone at Bergen County Gold and Diamonds was a pleasure to work with. The finished product was delivered on time and within the quoted budget. Do yourself a favor and see them first for all of your jewelry needs.
Called in to inquire about my 1.5 carat diamond engagement ring after several attempts to visit the location and found out they were closed at the times google has them listed as open. I don’t know who I spoke with but he was very rude and told me they don’t deal with diamonds that small and told me to go to eBay. I only decided to contact them after reading all the positive reviews which I’m beginning to wonder if their are actually from real people and not fakes one you can purchase. I hoped he’d at least be able to tell me what I could get for the ring but apparently me and my 1.5 carat ring were not worth his time. Thankfully I was able to speak to a professional at another jewelry store I previously spend a lot of money with over $15k. I would mention them by name but I want readers to know this is a REAL post. And not one to promote another business. In any case thanks for showing me the type of service you give people I’ll be sure to never do business with you or recommend your business to anyone I know.Update:And despite what is being said in the reply below... NEVER DID YOU MENTION YOU DON’T GIVE PRICES OVER THE PHONE. You flat out told me you don’t handle diamonds that small and I should go on EBAY. See I can type in all caps too. I only mentioned the appraisal because I thought you misheard me when I said 1.5 carats. I thought maybe you in heard half carat. And if it were a matter of coming into your location because of a policy you have that no one could possibly know unless you actually told them... then you could’ve simply mentioned that but you did not. You simply said what you said you and told me the appraisal meant nothing. Pay attention folks... THE APPRAISAL MEANS NOTHING!!! A WARNING to everyone its a waste of time buying jewelry especially diamonds from any jewelry store. You’ll plunk down your hard earned money thinking the value is equal to what you pay. But the truth is they get their diamonds for $1,500 to $3,000 then sell it to you for 10x’s what it cost them. Oh and if you need sell it back for any reason you’ll be lucky if you’ll get half of what you paid for it. But once you sell it they then resell it for the same high price you originally purchased it for. So is it worth what you pay for it or not? 🤔 It’s all a very elaborate scam a polish one but a scam nonetheless. The reviews made it seem like he is one of the nice ones who is service oriented, and who knows maybe he is when he isn’t being dismissive. Maybe you’re were having a bad day, who knows? But If my review causes you to provide better customer service moving forward then so be it. If not then any smart customer will see right through you and will take their business elsewhere. And maybe will even leave a not so nice review as well.Happy New Year!
Shopped around for quotes on jewelry I was selling and Bergen county gold and diamonds offered me the highest out of 3 places in the area! Great customer service, highly recommend!!
I recently inherited some estate jewelry from my aunt and decided to see what it was worth. I looked online for stores with great reviews and found Bergen County Gold & Diamonds. The owner Tim explained the value to me, tested and measured the jewelry while I watched and then gave me a great price.
My daughter and I recently went to Bergen County Gold and Diamonds. We spoke with Tim who we found to be professional and trustworthy something which is rare nowadays. Tim spent time explaining about diamonds to us. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
Thanks so much to Tim and Kevin for all of your help in selling my jewelry. I went to thee places who were not nearly as helpful and willing to teach me about the actual diamond and the selling process. Such great customer service - cannot thank you guys enough!
I traded in some old gold and sterling silver jewelry that I didnt wear anymore and bought myself a beautiful diamond necklace! Timothy tested my jewelry in front of me and explained the current value based on that days gold price as indicated on their wall. Highly recommend!
Hi Tim and Keven! Just wanted to stop-by and say thank you so much for the beautiful earrings and buying my gold. You guys were really nice and made me feel very happy :)I cant wait to go back with my friends and buy some more jewelry!
Pleasure doing business with these guys! Great friendly staff very informative. Very fair prices and great selection of jewelry.
It is very hard to find a person that you will trust with your money. Tim runs an honest business, you will never be cheated. Go to the diamond district in New York City and youll see what dishonesty humanity is capable of. Its a blessing to have Tim in our neighborhood. He is a diamond in the rough (pun).
Shopped my GIA stone all over. ( 4 different stores) This place gave best offer. Thanks again guys.
HI KEVEN,THANKS FOR MEETING WITH US ON FRIDAY, IT WAS OUR PLEASURE AND EXCEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS BY FAR. NOTHING BUT PROFESSIONALISM IN EVERY RESPECT. WE WILL SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH ALL OUR FRIENDS. SERVICE SECOND TO NONE. SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.BOB
Was searching online for a gold buyer in the Bergen county area and I stumbled upon this place on google. When I arrived the owner I think his name was Timothy offered me about 94% of spot value for my unwanted gold. I took the offer and I was just browsing around his show case and ended up buying a sick watch. Thanks again guys I will be back !
I needed to sell some of my silver bullion because I was moving into a new apartment so I went down to BCGB I dont know the guys name but anyway he very friendly and upbeat and a good salesman. he didnt have all the money at first to buy my silver bullion all at once so he bought what he could and then an hour later gave me a call to come by because now he had went to the bank and got more cash. yes he paid me in cash up front super easy. I had been collecting silver for years and this was my first time selling and know how much ill get for it and they were spot on. not to mention there was this indian dude who was in there before me and he had locked his keys in the car and they went out and were helping him get his keys out, so thats pretty cool to see that.
I have dealt with Tim at Bergen County Gold Buyers for a number of years. He is down to earth is honest and has integrity. Integrity and honesty are two attributes that are lacking in this industry (and that is very sad). Tim will level with you even if it means bursting your bubble of what you thought was super valuable and explain to you (in detail) and prove what he is saying. He conducts his business right in front of you. He will test your items and explain everything in detail so you know you are making an informed decision. He also goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk into his storeFor instance, I was just in there with a pair of earrings I was thinking of selling. He said they are beautiful earrings but Id be better off keeping them because they werent worth much to sell. He then proceeded to go into detail and explain why. I highly doubt other gold buyers would take the time to explain everything the way he does.Also, he has the most adorable mascot/fur-baby, Molly. She is the official BCGB meet and greet puppy. Even if you dont sell or buy anything she is worth a trip to the store. The store is immaculately clean and very well lit. No dingy, creepy pawn shop feeling here. He also has some beautiful jewelry on display for sale. They arent just gold buyers. His assistant, Kevin is very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. You will know you are in good hands when you come to Bergen County Gold Buyers.I wouldnt consider selling my gold items anywhere else because I TRUST Tim and he has earned that trust by being honest everytime we have done business.
Great to deal with. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Will definitely do business with them again!
This man is amazing. Store was clean and very well staged. Very respectful & down to earth.
I have been collecting gold and silver now for about 20 years.I have been to alot of local businesses that I have purchased and sold my gold and silver coins.This was a great choice trying this new store out for the first time in Lodi! I highly recommend this business to all gold and silver collecters and also are selling there gold and silver. The store was immaculate, the owner was respectful and very knowledgeable. He was honest and handled are business with a price that was excellent. I will be returning. Thank you!
Tim was absolutely awesome! Real and honest and gave me by far the best price for my diamond.
The most unprofessional and rude ppl Ive ever talked to. They say here open sundays but when you call they talk to you with a very rude attitude claiming that you dont have an appointment. They should take off the open sunday from here then and dont missinform.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tim the other day when I went to sell my grandmothers silver set. I was so impressed with the price he gave and how friendly he was - that I not only sold him everything I brought, but went home and came back the following day with some old gold jewelry, Do not go to the hotels to sell your silver and gold - small independent stores like this pay top dollar and make you feel comfortable!
My husband and i have been coming here for years and followed them to the new store. Thank you Kevin and Tim, you were both very helpful and gave me the best price out of 3 other jewelry stores.
Amazing people to deal with. Very knowledgeable, and very generous price on jewelry.
I spoke with Bergen County Gold, Jewelry, Diamonds & Coins yesterday - what a professional, informative and pleasant experience! They have my business!
I just bought my girl a necklace for Valentines day. Great selection and prices!
I sold a diamond ring that I had inherited many years ago for a lot of money - and enough leftover to buy myself a tennis bracelet from the owner Tim. Their jewelry prices are so much lower than the malls.
