Discover the benefits and security of a gold party anchored by a licensed, insured brick-and-mortar jeweler.

Today more than ever, many individuals, companies, and jewelers are offering gold parties. Some are legitimate, some are not. Some are honest and some are not.

In the midst of conflicting reports, it may be difficult to determine which gold party companies or jewelers to trust with the sale of your gold. To assist you in making an educated decision, we chose to open our doors and business practices to you through our goldpartyus.com website to prove our integrity.

Meet American Diamond Importers
First, just who is American Diamond Importers and GoldPartyUS.com? Above all, we are jewelers. We have owned American Diamond Importers in St. Clair, Michigan for 15 years. Our staff includes three master goldsmiths, two GIA trained Gemologists and 14 skilled gold consultants.

The Gold Market and Daily Rates
We base our rates on the current gold market for that day. Here is an example: Let’s imagine that gold is $865 per ounce on Tuesday and your party is on Wednesday. On Wednesday, gold closed at $872 per ounce. Your rate would be based on $872 per ounce. This price is based on 100% pure gold. Since most customers do not have 24k or pure gold to sell, a formula is used to breakdown the daily rate, which allows us to offer you the best possible price for 10k, 14, or 18k gold.

Safe, Secure Parties and Payment Methods
Our parties are safe. We take special care to operate carefully for our security and the security of you and your guests. One safety measure involves payment. In lieu of carrying cash to your home, we bring corporate checks issued through Bank of America or Seaway Community Bank, both member FDIC. In addition to safety, checks provide a more effective tracking system not only for our customers but with regard to filing with the IRS as well. For playing by all the gold party rules includes paying our taxes.

Check Payment Backed by Line of Credit
In addition, our checking account is also backed by our line of credit, which assures that your checks will not bounce regardless the size of your payment or your party. Your guests can count on the same assurance and accept check payment with confidence. Guaranteed.

Honesty Outshines Gold
Rest assured that we are honest and compassionate. At each party, we meet at least one customer with sentimental pieces. It might be a cross given by grandfather. A war medal from a beloved brother. The locket mother wore everyday. Gold pieces that are treasured, sentimental, or heirloom are worth far more than the scrap value shown on the scale. Out of respect, we counsel these customers to reconsider selling their most precious of items. All customers are treated with the same respect and rates, too. It’s what we would expect if we went to sell gold and what we demand for our valued customers.

Alternatives to Scrap and Meltdown
The American Diamond Importers jewelry showroom features an exquisite estate jewelry showcase filled with previously loved jewelry. We have a successful website and an eBay store. We employ these resources for the resale of special items with exceptional value or character.

Gold Goes Green at ADI
We are very green. Everything we buy is completely recycled in some form or fashion. Most of the old and broken jewelry we purchase is melted down and transformed into new and incredible designs. The recycling of jewelry is good for the environment and good for us, too. Why? By recycling precious metals, we do not have to extract gold from the ground to produce new jewelry. Even the bags we use to sort and retain your gold are reused for the next party.

Licensure and the Law
We are licensed by the State of Michigan under the Precious Metals Act of 1981. We abide by all local, state, and federal laws. Adherence to these laws requires that we ask for picture IDs, take thumbprints, and forward the proper documentation to the appropriate authorities. Yet another way you can rest assured that American Diamond Importers has your best interest at heart throughout the entire gold buying and gold selling process.
