Long Island’s Trusted Gold & Diamond Buyer — Since 2003
SVS Fine Jewelry has decades of experience buying gold, diamonds, estate jewelry, and luxury watches — and it is how we built our reputation as Long Island’s most honest and trustworthy buyer. We are not a pawn shop. We are a full-service fine jewelry store with a GIA Graduate Gemologist and AGS Certified Gemologist Appraiser on staff, using the latest technology to give you the most accurate evaluation possible.
Every evaluation takes place in our private valuation room — a dedicated, confidential space in our Oceanside showroom equipped with state-of-the-art technology including an XRF (X-ray fluorescence) machine. Unlike traditional acid testing used by pawn shops, XRF analysis gives us a precise, non-destructive elemental breakdown of your metal’s purity. Your piece is never damaged in the process. You get an accurate offer based on exactly what you have.
We pay right then and there — same day cash on the spot. Or, if you prefer, choose store credit and receive 20% more value toward anything in our showroom. Looking to trade up to a new piece? We make that easy too. No pressure, no obligation. If you don’t like our offer, you walk away with your jewelry. It’s that simple.
We serve clients throughout Nassau County including Oceanside, Long Beach, Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, Merrick, Baldwin, Freeport, and Wantagh — as well as clients from Queens and Suffolk County who trust SVS for fair, expert evaluations.
What We Buy
We Buy Almost Everything
Gold Jewelry
All karats — 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, 24K. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, chains, bangles. Broken or damaged pieces welcome. Tested with XRF technology for precise purity analysis — not acid testing.
Natural Diamonds
Loose diamonds and diamond jewelry. Our GIA Graduate Gemologist and AGS Certified Gemologist Appraiser evaluates every stone for cut, color, clarity, and carat weight to give you a precise, fair market offer. We buy all shapes and sizes — rounds, ovals, cushions, emeralds, and more.
Estate & Heirloom Jewelry
Inherited pieces, vintage jewelry, antique jewelry, and estate collections. We evaluate not just the metal and stones but the piece as a whole — designer pieces, signed jewelry, and unique estate finds often command more than their melt value.
Rolex & Luxury Watches
We buy pre-owned Rolex watches and other luxury timepieces. Our team evaluates based on current market conditions, model, condition, and accompanying paperwork. Bring in your watch for a private, no-obligation evaluation.
Platinum & Silver
Platinum jewelry, sterling silver jewelry, and silver flatware all evaluated at current spot prices with precise XRF testing. We also buy white gold — our technology distinguishes accurately between platinum and white gold, ensuring you get the right offer.
Simple & Transparent

Why Our Evaluations Are More Accurate
Professional Technology — Not Acid Testing
Most gold buyers — including pawn shops — rely on acid testing to determine metal purity. Acid testing is imprecise, can damage your piece, and only gives an approximate result. At SVS Fine Jewelry, our private valuation room is equipped with two professional-grade instruments used by precious metal refiners, major auction houses, and government mints.
XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) Analyzer — For Jewelry
Gives us a precise, non-destructive elemental breakdown of your jewelry’s metal content in seconds — telling us the exact percentage of gold, silver, platinum, or other metals present. No damage to your piece. No guesswork. An accurate reading based on exactly what you have. Used for all gold, silver, and platinum jewelry.
Sigma Metalytics PMV PRO — For Coins & Bullion Bars
For gold and silver coins and bullion bars, we use the Sigma Metalytics PMV PRO — trusted by the Perth Mint, major bullion dealers, and central banks worldwide. Using electromagnetic resistivity, it tests all the way through the coin or bar — not just the surface — detecting tungsten inserts and counterfeit pieces that pass visual inspection and even surface-only testers. Can read through plastic slabs and coin holders without removal. No chemicals, no damage, results in seconds.
This is the difference between selling to a fine jewelry store and selling to a pawn shop.
