When we live in LI we always went into the city to the diamond district and bought jewlery. We would always get it independently appraised and always did very well.

I used to go to the Diamond District too but I never felt really comfortable dealing with the jewelers. I am with KB and always felt like I was getting jerked around... even with a referral.
I used Frank Pollack and Sons for both engagement rings that I have purchased. I think I bought very nice pieces at a decent price and the salesman, Tom Murray, was helpful and I think honest/sincere.
To answer your first question, you might want to check out what's available at area pawn shops. Jewelry stores generally sell at 4X wholesale while pawn shops, sell the identical item, if available, at 2X wholesale. Some pawn shops can order directly from the manufacturer/wholesaler if the item is not in their current inventory.
To answer your second question, coin stores and pawn shops buy gold scrap, with coin stores generally paying a better price. Earlier this AM, the spot wholesale price of gold was $923.50 a troy ounce.
You can easily monitor the gold regular session futures prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange (because these prices are available at no charge, they come with a 30-minute delay) by going to: futuresource.com | Futures & Commodities Custom Quotes
I also have some old gold to sell if any one know a good place to do it.
If you're selling your gold for spot - Miller's Mint.
If you've got coins, you probably want to have someone look at or grade them first, learn what you have and how much they're worth. For an idea of the value of your coins, look in this year's "Red Book." We collect coins; if you have questions, just ask.
No idea about selling gold. However as far as a Jeweler I went to Jonathon at Good Old Gold for my wife's engagement ring. Very professional, very good price and local. I fequented online messege boards on diamonds in preparation.
When I went to pick out a wedding ring with the other workers, I was underwhelmed. However, I was very impressed with the diamond knowledge etc. I had to make an appointment though.
Although I've never personally used him, Jonathan of Good Old Gold in Massapequa is highly recommended on different diamond, jewelry and wedding messageboards that I belong to.

You join here & your 1st post is on a 9 year old thread? Me thinking it is just a plug for this store/your company!! Would never use a store that has to resort to this type of advertising. Your only other post is also to plug you business.
Here's an idea advertise maybe! You know what happens when you don't advertise. Nothing.
