My name is Joel Richman. I managed GoldFellow’s operations in California and specifically in Westlake Village, located in the Paseo Shopping Center behind the Stonefire Grill. After six years, sadly, GoldFellow closed down its last operation in California in June 2015.
Upon closing, I decided to continue the buying under a new name, license and location. Westlake Gold, still located in the same Paseo Marketplace, is now located in an office suite in the center of the shopping mall, just upstairs above the Canyon Salon. We still have the same friendly staff to serve you, providing the same, safe and confidential transaction in we have given for the past seven years.
We will not buy any of the following items and will not submit them to any form of testing. Examples of costume jewelry brands can include but are not limited to: Avon, Napier, Swank, Trifari, and Monet.
Initial Evaluation
We first look at each item for any stamp it may have. Based on the stamp, we will do a test with acids to determine what karat it is.
Determine Value
We then separate each item by karat and group them together. We then weigh each group and record.
Make Deductions
Minor deductions are taken when the jewelry has gemstones or anything that is not a precious metal.
Fair Prices
We offer you the best price possible according to our pricing software.
