Global Reach, Local Trust.
Why selling to a national expert yields higher returns than a local pawn shop.
The "Coast to Coast" Difference The name "Coast to Coast" isn't just a slogan—it’s our business model. While most local gold buyers only resell items within the East Bay, we maintain active trading networks in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami.
Why does this matter to you?
Regional markets value items differently. A specific Art Deco watch might trade for 20% more in New York than in Oakland. Because we access these national markets daily, we can pay you based on the item's global maximum value, not just what a local customer might pay today.
Meet the Expert: Brent
With years of experience as a Graduate Gemologist and numismatist, Brent founded Coast to Coast Jewelry Buyers to offer a dignified alternative to the typical "cash for gold" experience.
"I started this business because I saw a gap in the East Bay market. You had high-end retail jewelers who sold but didn't buy, and pawn shops that bought but didn't understand the value of fine estate pieces. I wanted to create a private, professional environment where clients could get a true market valuation for their heirlooms."
Our Expertise Includes:
Gemological Identification: Distinguishing between natural, treated, and lab-grown stones.
Numismatics: Expert grading of rare coins (Morgan Dollars, St. Gaudens, Pre-1933 Gold).
Brand Authentication: Verifying complex hallmarks on Cartier, Rolex, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
The "Private Office" Advantage
Safety First: We are located in the Oakmore Plaza Professional Building, not a street-level retail store. You will never wait in line or discuss sensitive financial matters in public.
Bank Vault & House Calls: For collections valued over $20,000, Brent (the Owner & Lead Buyer) can arrange a secure evaluation at your local bank vault or a private home visit in Piedmont, Blackhawk, or Lamorinda.
Probate & Trustee Services: We frequently work with estate attorneys and executors to provide "Fair Market Value" offers that simplify the division of assets for heirs.
