Hi, I’m Jim.

Consider me your concierge gold and silver broker

I provide white-glove services in Chicago’s North Shore for people looking to sell their unused and unwanted gold or silver items.

My process is simple and flexible to fit your schedule

Have gold or silver jewelry laying around that you’ll never wear? How about grandma’s sterling flatware set that’s been that’s sitting in a cabinet? Here’s how I put items like these to work for you:

Step 1: Shoot me a quick email (nspreciousmetal@gmail.com) or give me a call (847-400-4855) and let me know you have jewelry or metals you’d like evaluated.

Step 2: We’ll set up a date and time to meet. Most clients prefer that I come to their home to do the evaluation – I’m happy to meet wherever makes you most comfortable.

Step 3: I’ll evaluate your metal pieces, likely ask you some questions (because I love to learn their backstories), and offer my price for purchase.

Step 4: If my offer sounds good to you, I’ll write you a check then and there – if you need more time, that’s quite alright. I always tell my clients to get whatever opinions they need to feel confident accepting an offer.

Here’s what some of my customers have to say:

“I sold some vintage silver serving pieces and jewelry to Jim recently. He is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. I am confident he gave me top value for my items and I highly recommend him.”

- L. A. from Highland Park, IL

“It has been a pleasure to work with Jim on the evaluation of our many family artifacts to first determine what had economic and emotional value and then provide an effective way to liquidate the excess. He is super knowledgeable, patient, and generous with his time and expertise. Jim is a terrific resource who has proven over the years to be our go-to for everything gold, silver, and precious. “

-K. B. from Lake Forest, IL

“I had numerous estate items that we no longer had use for. Jim’s experience, knowledge and direction allowed us to dispose of items quickly, fairly and at a price that I was pleased with. His skill and expertise were comforting and appreciated. I would never have been able to navigate what to do with many of the pieces of jewelry. I would highly recommend Jim if you are trying to divest of unused/unworn jewelry.”

- J.Z. from Glencoe, IL

“Jim Urkov is honest, precise, respectful, and above all else, highly knowledgeable of his craft. He went above and beyond to make my family and I feel completely comfortable with the experience of examining and purchasing our jewelry and precious metals. He was very fair in his pricing as well. I highly recommend his services and will definitely contact him for any future needs!”

- L. P.  from Arlington Heights, IL

C.B. from Northbrook, IL

“What a positive and pleasant experience it was working with Jim on the sale of my mother's and grandmother's silver flatware.  Jim was the ultimate professional as he weighed each piece and explained the evaluation process. I have no doubt that he gave me top dollar for what I had and paid me right then and there.  I have known Jim in a professional capacity for over 30 years and can attest to his trustworthiness, reliability, and honesty.  If you have gold or silver to sell, look no further. And.....if you need a dentist, he's your man.”

-C.G. from Deerfield, IL

“I am thankful I found Jim and grateful for the experience I had working with him.  He was totally professional and extremely fair with his offers.  I have given his name to a number of my friends.”

- J. F from Lake Forest, IL

“Jim was referred to me by a friend. He was very professional and made sure I understood his buying process. He arrived on time and allowed ample time to look at everything I had to sell. I felt he offered me fair prices for what I had to sell. I would highland recommend Jim to anyone who has jewelry to dispose of.”

- R. M. Highland Park, IL

“My husband and I had a large collection of jewelry that we were not wearing. We decided to have Jim look at what we had and see what it was worth. He spent a half day with us testing each piece and then gave us the value for our pieces which we felt was very fair. He educated us throughout the process which we found to be of great value also. We would recommend Jim greatly to anyone who is interested in getting top dollar for their old jewelry.”

- M.P. from Des Plaines, IL

I couldn’t have been more pleased than recently working with Jim Urkov, a gold broker from my neighborhood. Jim was completely professional, extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and trusting. If you have any unwanted gold pieces that you want evaluated or sold, I highly recommend contacting Jim.”

- J.M. from Highland Park

Trust and integrity set my business(es) apart

 

By trade, I was a dentist; but by passion I’m a checkbook-wielding, treasure-hunting, chocolate fanatic who loves giving people money for their jewelry and metals.

I’ve built my precious metals business around trust and integrity, the same principles I displayed at my dental practice over 30+ years.

I’m not here to make a quick buck. I love to learn about each piece you own, make a fair offer, and give you all the time you need, pressure-free, to feel confident in your decision.

Let’s chat

Whether you’re looking to sell ASAP or you’re not quite ready yet, drop me a line and let’s talk life, business, precious metals, or dentistry; I’m always looking for new friends.
