In 1964, my father Al embarked on his journey in the jewelry industry, starting as a runner and polisher for a jewelry manufacturing company. Recognizing his innate talent and passion for the craft, the owners quickly nurtured Al’s growth within the industry. Transitioning into diamond and gem setting, my father’s exceptional skill and precision earned him a reputation as one of the foremost experts in the field. His mastery extended to delicate Rose Cut Diamonds and Emeralds, stones that demanded finesse and expertise due to their unique properties.

Driven by his dedication and entrepreneurial spirit, my father ventured into jewelry making, casting, and diamond manufacturing, eventually establishing his own retail shop. Even as his business flourished, my father remained grounded in his craft, spending countless hours behind his workbench, driven by a genuine passion for creating exquisite pieces.

Throughout his journey, my father’s interactions with customers revealed a deeper understanding of the significance of jewelry in people’s lives. Whether it was commemorating life’s milestones or transforming cherished heirlooms, my father recognized the deeply personal connections woven into each piece. This empathy led him to expand his business to include the buying of precious metals and gold from individuals seeking to unlock the value of their possessions. Selling to fund important life milestones or transforming heirlooms into cherished memories, my father recognized the profound impact jewelry had on individuals and families.

My father’s legacy continues with me, and I joined him in the family business from a young age. Drawing from my father’s teachings and experiences, I embarked on a global journey to hone his skills in jewelry manufacturing and sales, gaining invaluable insights from the bustling markets of New York Diamond District to international hubs like Hong Kong, Dubai, and Thailand.

In my quest to make a meaningful difference, this path led me to a career in sales for major wholesale jewelry manufacturers, where he managed prestigious accounts and navigated the dynamic landscape of e-commerce and television sales. However, it was during the tumultuous times of the 2008 financial crisis that I felt a profound calling to return to my roots to make a tangible impact in people’s lives.

Together, my father and I embarked on a mission to provide a lifeline for individuals facing economic challenges, establishing a gold buying business that empowered people to overcome adversity. Our dedication to helping others to navigate uncertain times forged a bond that transcended generations.

Today, I carry forward my father’s enduring legacy, guided by the principles of integrity, compassion, and service to others. Through SellMyGoldUSA.com, I extend the reach of our mission nationwide, offering individuals across the country a trusted partner in their financial journeys. In honoring my father’s legacy, I remain committed to giving back to the community and upholding the values that have defined my family business for decades.
