My best friend and I went to sell some scrap gold and to a jeweler that i looked up on line, because it was close by. it turned out to be Valley Jewelers, and it was so cool! The lady behind the counter was so friendly, we actually stood and talked with her for a good hour. Very knowledgeable, and she gave us a very good price for the scrap gold. My friend has some health problems, and Teresa is also a healer, gave my friend a beatuiful necklace with a healing pendant. Just gave it to her it was one of the kindest things, we were so touched, We like her so much we stop in whenever we're in the nob hill shopping center! If you live in the Martinez area this is the only place to go for any of your jewelery needs, they do beatuiful work here and they are the nicest people you'll ever meet!! GO TO VALLEY JEWELERS!!!!!!!!
