About Gold Rush

The Tri-Cities Trusted Gold Buyer

Since 2010, Gold Rush has helped customers across the Tri-Cities region buy and sell gold, silver, coins, and jewelry with confidence. We’ve built our reputation on honest conversations, fair quotes, and creating an experience that feels welcoming from the moment you walk through the door.

Our Story

A Team Worth Their Weight in Gold

At Gold Rush, we believe the experience matters just as much as the transaction itself. Selling jewelry, coins, or valuables can sometimes feel intimidating, which is why we’ve worked hard to create a space that feels comfortable, informative, and built around trust.

Our roots in the jewelry industry run deep. With decades of experience passed down through family — including our founder’s father who spent more than 40 years as a jeweler — our team brings a level of knowledge and care that sets us apart. We take the time to answer questions, explain the process clearly, and help customers feel informed every step of the way.

Over the years, Gold Rush has become known throughout the area for treating people well. Much of our business comes from referrals, returning customers, and word of mouth from people who know they can expect honesty and respect when they walk through our doors.

We’ve also worked intentionally to create an environment that feels different from what many people expect. Gold Rush isn’t a corporate chain or a typical pawn shop experience. We’re a locally owned business focused on relationships, community, and helping people feel comfortable no matter what brings them in.

What We Buy

Gold, Silver, Coins & More

While many customers know us for buying gold and silver jewelry, coins have become an increasingly important part of what we do. From bullion and Silver Eagles to collectible and graded coins, our team works with a wide range of items and takes the time to evaluate each piece carefully.
