Sell Your Jewelry, Stones & Precious Metals to Experts You Can Trust
At Engels Jewelry Company, we’ve been buying gold, silver, diamonds, and other precious items since 1932—when our founder, Richard Engels, first began working for his brother on South Division Street in Grand Rapids. Over 90 years later, our family is still committed to offering honest, thoughtful service with every transaction.
We know that selling jewelry is often personal. That’s why we don’t just weigh your items and make a quick offer. We take the time to listen, understand your reasons for selling, and discuss your expectations. Whether you’re parting with a family heirloom or simply clearing out pieces you no longer wear, we want the experience to feel respectful and rewarding.
We believe every customer should walk out with confidence, a smile—and a check in hand.
We Buy It All
From fine jewelry to luxury watches and designer handbags, we’re always looking to purchase quality items—whether they’re pristine, pre-owned, or well-loved.
Here’s what we’re currently buying:
Jewelry
We buy all gold, platinum, and sterling silver jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. Don’t worry if your items are broken or tangled—just bring them in as-is.
Diamonds & Gemstones
Watches
Pre-owned luxury watches are Mark and Dennis Engels’ specialty. Dennis Engels holds an honors certificate in watch appraising, evaluation, and grading from the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. When it comes to buying and selling luxury watches, the father-son duo are some of the area’s best-informed experts in brands like:
- Rolex
- Tag Heuer
- Cartier
- Breitling
- Omega
Coins & Bullion
Silverware & Silver Flatware
From heirloom sterling silver sets to individual serving pieces, we’re always interested in buying silverware and flatware. Bring in complete sets, partial sets, or even single items—no matter the condition. If it’s sterling silver, we’d love to see it.
