Very friendly, was very informal and talked to me like a person felt like I was friend and their prices were better than fair :)

In celebration of Spring I just bought myself three really cute pairs of real silver earrings for under $30. Yesterday I was shopping at Lee Outlet Village and everything there is plastic. It was a lot of fun to look at all the different styles--big, little, really old fashioned and very modern. I choose three and payed by the weight of the silver alone, which is how they sell silver earrings.

PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK. I rarely write reviews but feel if my review can help one person I should document our interaction. My husband brought a heavy broken 14kt gold watch to sell for scrap. It weighed 70 grams. Full melt was $4268. We expected minimum in the Berkshires, a 50% of scrap offer. FYI most reputable gold scrappers pay approx 70-80%. We were offered $1300. We questioned why the offer was so low and were told "we buy in pennyweights." We are not naive. The unit of measure has no bearing on the price of paid for the item. We also had a previous poor interaction when I sold them some rings, and they deducted weight for the stones in price paid. A few months later I went to buy a gift for my mother, and found a ring I know she'd like. I asked the price, $10 a gram. I asked if the weight of stones was removed, NOPE. I asked again how that was fair, when they don't pay for the stones, and then sell them. They didn't have an answer. We will never be back. They are not ethical at all.

A wonderful shop! The staff here are friendly, knowledgeable, fair prices and just packed with interesting treasures. As an art and antique seller, there is one place I go to have the coins, precious metals, and jewelry I find appraised. They even once gave me a bottle of beer brewed in the Berkshires that's over 100 years old. Pays to be a loyal customer, shop, buy & sell with confidence!

Best jewelry shop in the Berkshires. I have never seen a piece shine like what Pete can do with his. He really knows his stuff, and there's plenty of fine items of all types. Very nice coins too. Even if you're not dead set on making a purchase, stop in and talk to Pete.

I used to be a loyal customer of Berkshire Hills Coins & Estate Jewelry and trusted them completely. For years, Peter was always fair, honest, and offered competitive prices for both buying and selling. Unfortunately, after my most recent visit, I’ll no longer be returning. I went in expecting the usual great service and prices, but I was absolutely shocked at what I was offered. The buyback prices were half of what I had seen suggested online for the same items, and even the price for regular gold was a fraction of what it should have been—about a quarter of the fair market value. After this experience, I decided to check out another local place, and to my surprise, they offered me more than double what Berkshire Hills did for the same pieces. I couldn't believe the difference. It’s a real shame because I used to trust them so much. But now, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere from here on out. If you’re looking for fair pricing and honest transactions, I recommend you do the same.
