Neil is awesome! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable with diamonds, he’s an awesome person! He always goes that extra mile for his clients!Thank you Neil for your services and expertise!

Can not rave enough about my experience with Neil! He captured my vision, designing gorgeous pieces for me. Most importantly, he creates a personalized and elevated experience for his clients. I can’t wait for my next purchase!

I recently inherited Gold jewelry from my late grandmother. I was unsure of the value and what I really had. I had googled and found a “We Buy Gold” shop near me. After walking in, i felt like I had walked into a mistake. Offering me no knowledge on anything on what I had brought in from my grandmother that owned the stuff since forever. Just offering a “take it or leave it” amount. Telling me its scrap gold that will be melted. So the search continued ...Did some more online research and Found Neil in Newport. After reading his reviews, I made a appt and met him next day. Very nice guy off the bat & knowledgeable in jewelry. Telling me that my grandmothers ring was actually a antique Tiffany & Co ring, I was amazed! A lot of my grandmothers collection end up being valuable.Im writing this long review cause it will help someone that was in my shoes. DO NOT sell anywhere else until you speak with Neil. Good Luck!

Neil was great ! He sold me a beautiful set of diamond earrings for my girlfriend. She loves them and I will be back whenever I need jewelry.

Let me preface this by saying that I have tried many places throughout OC and Bay Area to sell an engagement ring. I quickly learned that jewelers and appraisers can be very much shady people and can make you lose faith in humanity.However, that cannot be said of Neil. Neil is prompt, professional, and personable. There is no funny business with Neil. There is no this ring is very dirty let me go into a different room to clean it. (Pro tip if youre trying to sell anything: DO NOT LET IT LEAVE YOUR SIGHT) To say that Neil is just fair is an understatement. He is especially clear on his reasoning for the quote he gives and takes all aspects into consideration. Although my time with Neil was short, it definitely will not be my last time seeing him.If youre reading this and contemplating on whether or not to contact Neil, do it now. You wont regret it. :)

Had the best engagement thanks to Neil. I was able to get a big beautiful diamond ring at a great price all thanks to him. Will definitely do business here again. Can’t thank golden rule estate jewelry enough.

I got my DREAM ring with the help of Neil Murphy! He work closely with my family to help get the best and most beautiful ring I have ever seen! I will be forever grateful for his help getting an engagement ring that will be with me. for a lifetime!

First and foremost, I want to say that I’m very leery when it comes to spending a large amount of money for any item online. I called Mr. Neil to inquire about a particular watch (Breitling for Bentley) that I’ve been interested in purchasing for a few years now. After having a conversation with Mr. Neil, I felt extremely comfortable because he was very transparent and open. What I loved the most is the fact that Mr. Neil stood on his word and delivered my watch exactly as promised. After receiving my watch, I was speechless at the quality he delivered. When I opened the box, I immediately fell in love with my watch.If you have any concerns or wondering if Mr. Neil will sale you a great piece of jewelry or watch, you can definitely count on him. He’s definitely a man of his WORD! I’m looking forward to purchasing a Rolex from him soon!

Purchased a Gold Rolex off of Neil for my wife last month. I can’t explain to you how happy the guy made me. The watch was better then his Description & was willing to work with me! I was so thrilled about finding Neil, I purchased a second watch off of him last week. Hard to find a honest jeweler this days. So glad i did.

I cannot express how in love I am with my engagement ring! It is breathtakingly gorgeous and unique. Neil worked with my fiance on the design and I am so thrilled he was a part of this tremendous blessing in my life! I strongly, emphatically recommend Neil. Cant wait to talk to him about wedding bands! ❤

If you are looking to buy, sell, or discuss jewelry, Golden Rule is the place to do it. Neil is incredibly helpful, professional, and genuine. He has remarkable customer service and makes any effort to make sure you’re taken care of. I will surely be back to work with him. You will not find a better place than Golden Rule!

I really can not say enough about Neil and my experience with Golden Rule. It was a difficult decision to sell my Grandmothers diamond bracelet, but due to unforeseen issues this year I was left with no choice. I’m new to the area and looked up local buyers. It’s always scary not knowing if you’re going to get screwed on the offer and lied to about the value. First, Neil could not have been more kind and amazing with me. He walked me through the process and gave me insight into the antique, diamond buying/selling market. He gave me a great offer on the bracelet and was patient with me when I asked for time to think about it. I also had an antique ring that needed to be fixed but other jewelry places told me it wasn’t possible to fix it and not have it look like a patch job. Not only did Neil get the ring fixed, but it matched the intricate details of the ring and looks amazing! He drove out of his way to give it to me a few days before Christmas too when my busy schedule had delayed pick up. Neil absolutely cares about his customers and his profession. I am so lucky to have found him!

Neil got me the watch that I wanted for a long time. I am very happy with the watch and with customer care I received.

Thank you Neil Murphy for making me look like a hero and my wife incredibly happy! If your looking for an honest (yeah it’s like finding your own unicorn) jeweler who keeps is his word, makes incredible jewelry at a fair price then look no more! I couldn’t be more happy with what Neil made for my wife and more importantly either could she! I’m sure I will be back sooner then later, thanks again Neil!

Working with Neil was such a pleasure. Always very professional and friendly. The custom made earrings came out amazing and actually way more beautiful than I accepted. Neil will always be my go-to jeweler from now on. I highly recommend Golden Rule Estate Jewelry Buyers!

After working with Neil I questioned why I bought jewelry any where else. From his honest feedback, fast turn around, and great ideas for design, it was the best experience. Thank you!

I was recently in need of selling my diamond earrings. Unsure of who and where to should go, I ended up with Neil Murphy. And boy am I so happy I did, he was such a knowledgeable gentleman who was so patient with me when he was explaining what my options were. And in the end I sold my earring and walked out feeling very comfortable and confident of the price I got. Would absolutely highly recommend him! He’s a class act and his office is really nice!

I had a great experience with Golden Rule! Neil was professional and super friendly. I highly recommend this company. I definitely will come back.

I work near Fashion Island so it was an easy place for me to go. I didnt have much gold jewelry but Neil was very nice and went through each piece with me to explain the values. I was more than pleased with what I got paid. I recommend Golden Rule Estate Jewelry Buyers!

I did my research prior to visiting this gentlemen and I am pleased to say not only was the experience pleasant, but the offer he gave to me for my items was above fair with no BS. Would happily come back to purchase merchandise here.Highly recommend.

Working with Neil is such a pleasure. I asked him to make me a new diamond band to match my old wedding band and when it arrived it was so perfect. He is so professional and timely and his work is exquisite. I am so happy to work with him again for any of my gold and diamond needs.

I could not speak more highly of Golden Rule Estate Jewelry! I have just completed the purchase of a diamond for my fiances engagement ring. Due to our schedule conflicts Neil agreed to meet after hours (on a Sunday, no less!!!) He was very helpful in explaining the intricacies of purchasing a diamond (and the pitfalls) and was able to show us a magnificent diamond that perfectly suited our band and our wallet. Neil went above and beyond during the whole process, and even delivered the ring to my home. I would highly recommend Neil for all of your jewelry needs. Hes a good man!

Niel is AMAZING. Fast. Quick. Sweet. Down to earth. Helped me out so much. Made me feel very comfortable and I definitely will come back

I have the pleasure of dealing with Neil often. His expertise and professionalism is above many in this business. I completely trust him and his company.
