How Gold Buying Actually Works (So Nobody Takes Advantage of You)
When you walk into a gold buyer, you are not getting the spot price you see on the news. Here is what actually happens:

First, they test the metal to confirm the karat. 24k is pure gold. 18k is 75% gold. 14k is about 58%. 10k is roughly 42%. The higher the karat, the more gold content by weight.

Then they weigh the piece in grams and calculate the melt value based on today's spot price and the purity percentage.

The offer you get is a percentage of that melt value. A fair buyer pays 70 to 80% of melt. If someone is offering 50% or less, you should keep shopping.

Best move: check the live spot price on your phone before you walk in, and get at least 2 to 3 offers in the same week so you can compare.

Men's Jewelry Is Not What It Used to Be.
The old rules about men's jewelry were simple. Wedding band. Maybe a watch. That was it.

2026 looks completely different. Slim gold chains worn daily, signet rings with subtle engraving, mixed-metal bracelets stacked with a watch, and diamond bands worn as everyday rings, not just wedding bands. The trend is "practical luxury," pieces that work with jeans or a blazer without looking like a costume.

Black diamonds and darker metals are showing up in men's rings too. Lower profile, more texture, less flash.

If you have been thinking about adding something to your rotation, this is probably the most options men have ever had in terms of style and price range.

Trade In What You Do Not Wear. Walk Out With Something You Love.
Most people have a few pieces sitting in a box or a drawer that they never put on. An old ring, a chain that is not their style anymore, something they inherited but would never choose for themselves.

That stuff has real value right now. Gold is at record highs and Nelson pays based on current market rates.

But here is the part most gold buyers do not offer: you can apply that value as credit toward something new. Trade an old bracelet toward an engagement ring. Turn a pile of broken chains into a custom pendant. Swap what you do not wear for something you will.

No appointment needed. Walk in for a free evaluation.

One Week Until Father's Day. Same-Day Engraving Available.
If you are the type who waits until the last minute, we have you covered.

Nelson offers same-day laser engraving on rings, watches, bracelets, and pendants. Add his initials, the kids' names, a date that matters, or a short message.

Our laser handles fine detail that traditional rotary engraving cannot match, including script fonts and small-surface work. Works on gold, silver, platinum, and stainless steel.

A personalized piece turns a nice gift into something he will never take off.

Father's Day is June 21. We are open Tuesday through Saturday.

Father's Day Gift Idea: A Watch He Will Keep Forever.
A good watch is the definition of practical luxury. He wears it every day, and 20 years from now it still means something.

Nelson carries estate and pre-owned watches at prices that make the mall look ridiculous. Vintage-inspired designs, classic metal bracelets, and statement dials. Pieces with real character, not mass-produced department store stock.

A watch is also one of those gifts that can become an heirloom. Something he wears now and passes down later.

Father's Day is June 21. Stop in and see what we have.

Father's Day Is June 21. Gold Chains Start at Less Than You Think.
Forget the novelty mug. This year, get Dad something he will actually wear.

Gold chains are one of the most popular Father's Day jewelry gifts in 2026. Cuban, rope, Figaro, and Franco styles are all trending. The move right now is slimmer, everyday chains that work with a t-shirt or a button-down. Not flashy. Just solid.

Nelson prices gold chains at 40 to 60% below chain retail. That means you can get Dad real gold for what the mall charges for plated.

Do not wait until Saturday the 20th. Come in this week.

Sunscreen Is Great for Your Skin. Terrible for Your Ring.. If you are applying SPF every morning in Phoenix (and you should be), get in the habit of taking your rings and bracelets off first.

Sunscreen and lotions create a greasy film on diamonds and settings that grabs dust and dirt. After a few weeks of daily buildup, your ring looks gray and lifeless instead of sparkling. The oils also work their way into prongs and under stones, making it harder to clean and hiding damage you cannot see.

Easy fix: take it off before you apply. Let the sunscreen dry. Put it back on.

And if your ring already looks dull from a summer of sunscreen and pool water, bring it in for a free cleaning. We will have it sparkling again in minutes.

We Buy Diamonds Too. Not Just Gold.. Most people know we buy gold. But we also buy loose diamonds and diamonds still in settings, with premiums paid on stones 1 carat and above.

Chipped or damaged? We still buy them. Every stone is evaluated in-house for cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. David walks you through the grading so you understand exactly how the offer is calculated.

Because Nelson resets and resells diamonds rather than wholesaling them out, sellers typically get a stronger offer than they would at a pawn shop or mail-in service.

Payment is same day. No obligation to sell after the assessment. No appointment needed.

Wedding Bands Are Getting Bolder in 2026. Wedding bands used to be an afterthought. Plain gold, done. Not anymore.

This year couples are treating bands as statement pieces. Emerald-cut diamond bands, contoured bands that nest with sculptural engagement rings, mixed-metal stacks, and vintage-inspired designs with milgrain and engraving are all moving fast.

The "build your stack over time" approach is especially popular. Start with your engagement ring and wedding band, then add an anniversary band or eternity band at milestones down the road.

Nelson carries estate bands, new bands, and builds custom bands that lock perfectly with your existing ring.

Walk in and try some on.
