Family-Owned.
Diamond District.
30+ Years.
Buyers of New York is a family-owned jewelry and precious metals buying business in the heart of Manhattan's Diamond District. Built on transparency, fair pricing, and the highest payouts in NYC — since the early 1990s.
The Original Gold Buyer on 47th Street
Buyers of New York was founded with a clear mission: to be the most trusted, highest-paying jewelry and precious metals buyer in New York City. Located at 30 West 47th Street — the heart of Manhattan's Diamond District — we have served thousands of clients across 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.
Our Diamond District location gives us direct access to refineries, dealers, and the most current market intelligence — which translates directly into better payouts for our clients, consistently higher than pawn shops, jewelry stores, or mail-in services.

Thousands of satisfied clients across Manhattan and the five boroughs. Here's what some of them had to say.
"Just cashed in some old and mismatched earrings. Edward was kind and very knowledgeable. He tested and weighed the gold in front of me and calculated it based on today's price. The whole process was completely transparent."
"Edward was honest with his prices — pays the most for gold in NYC and offered me 99% of my gold's value. I sold chains, rings, and a watch and got a lot of cash. Left very happy and will definitely be back."
"I shopped around the city for the best price on my diamond engagement ring. Edward examined my diamond carefully and explained everything. The offer was the highest I received anywhere in New York."
"Wanted to upgrade my Rolex. The watch retailer offered half what Buyers of New York paid. No question — this is the place to go for luxury watches in NYC. A+++"
"Best customer service experience by far. The prices were the highest of all the places I visited. The owner was the most knowledgeable person I've dealt with. There is no reason to go anywhere else."
We Cut Out the Middleman — You Keep the Difference
Many NYC jewelry 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 consistently offer stronger payouts than competitors. When you sell to us, you're selling as close to the source as possible — and keeping more of your money.
