Stoney Folks Jewelers

I have had many pieces of jewelry repaired, custom designed and purchased off the shelf and I have always felt well advised and never felt that the prices were anything but reasonable and fair. Beautiful little shop!

Walked in for battery replacement on some watches and was pleasantly surprised this place has beautiful jewelry. they create modern and classic rings. they do appraisals. And they have layaway! Awesome find in Rancho Cordova really nice people great customer service

I live in the area, and don’t really like dealing with pawn shops — so I decided to try them out. I had a bunch of spare gold pieces that really weren’t usable jewelry. A cut ring, a bent one, broken necklace, and an earring missing the mate.
None with any gemstones or anything else to alter the weight — it was all pure solid 14k gold — tested and weighed.
After doing the math, I knew exactly what «melt» value was. I was offered 64% of melt value.
Seriously, less than 2/​3rds!!! Then she went into a story about how they don’t re-​use the gold, and they have to send it to a smelting company, and blah blah. Well I hate to point out the obvious — but that’s how EVERYONE does it. There are very few jewelers in the area that make their own stuff with their own precious metals.
Went down 2 blocks and was given 82%, which was a difference of over $ 100 for driving down one more block.
Seriously, even I’d pay 64% of melt value. So I could walk down a block and make a quick hundred on it.
Sheesh! Lowball of the lowballs! Beware — don’t take your scrap to this place! They advertise that they pay cash for gold — but certainly not much! If you aren’t going to play at the market rate, you probably shouldn’t advertise that you are in the market.
You aren’t doing anyone any favors — including yourselves!

They crafted two wedding rings for us with gold from the American River. We were very pleased with how Debi and Kay provided great customer service and treated us fairly. This is a great business.

High prices. Mediocrity is their standard. Not many good things to say, so let’s leave it to someone else to critique.
