Anubis Jewelers LLC in Fremont

I actually stumbled upon this place while at Newpark Mall. They are right across from the mall next to McDonalds. I hadn’t read any Unilocal reviews yet so I had no idea what to expect. I had just a couple of tiny little nothing pieces of gold on me that I had hoped I could sell in the mall (no such luck)…so I thought what the hell. I walked in and there was this woman talking to this man who sat behind a bulletproof glass window and she was obviously pissed off. I couldn’t hear what she was saying because my 12 year old wouldn’t stop talking about all the HoverBoards the guy had for sale inside. It was like a pawnshop that had only brand new SmartBalance Boards in boxes for sale, and on display in the window… and there was like a couch and coffee table, and a Keurig to make yourself a cup of coffee. I wouldn’t say it had a bad odor at all. It did have a smell, but I think that was from the Afghan Kabobs place right next door. Anyway… the woman ahead of me marched out all pissy (go home and get laid lady) and it was my turn. The guy behind the counter was pretty nice. I slipped my bits of jewelry underneath this tiny passthru in the glass window and he picked it up and looked through it with a Jewelers Loop, then he RUBBED it on this black stone thing and I was like «Whoa there, what are you doin? Don’t mess it up»…and he said he was just testing it to see if it was Gold or not. He explained to the process very quickly to me as he dropped a few drops of stuff onto the glass stone that had this yellowish line across it after he scraped the ring across it… He said it was an acid that would do something to the line if it was or wasn’t gold. I can’t remember exactly but it turns out there was different Karats of gold I had, a 10K and a 14K. The mens gold rope chain I had brought in which weighed like 30grams was found to be not real. He showed me how and explained that it was a very good imitation because it didn’t stick to a magnet and it was stamped 14K and everything… but it apparently failed the black stone/​acid test… so he gave it back to me in the passthru slot… so now he only had like 2 or 3 skinny banded bent up rings that didn’t even fit my daughter… no stones, etc. And he asked if I wanted to sell those and asked how much and dude tells me $ 102! I was like… HELL YES! I only brought those measley nothing rings just in case the big chain was worth nothing I wouldn’t feel like I wasted my time… I never expected to get that much for them.
Fast forward to visit number 2. I came back with some more old gold rings I didn’t ever wear. One was on the heavy side, but had several colored stones in it… the other one was gold and silver and the other one was teeny tiny solid gold baby ring I found. Also there was another thin band gold ring with a diamond the size of a pin prick… but this time before I came in there I did my homework. I studied the price of gold. I studied how gold is weighed, how it is tested and how much I should expect based on its weight and the markup for the buyer. One of the items I knew wasn’t solid gold but I wanted to test him out. I have my own Jewelry loop and my own scale which weighs in grams, oz, troyoz., and dwt and karat. I knew how many grams of gold I had… but I didn’t convert it to dwt weight. So when he weighed it in front of me he was using dwt. I was like «damn»…now what am I gonna do? I waited to hear his offer, hoping he wouldn’t be lieing to me or trying to screw me over becasue I was gonna call him on it… I knew what I should be getting… or around how much anways…
HE WAS SPOT ON! He had converted the dwt weight into grams and bingo… he gave me $ 103 for the gold! He also gave me back the ring I knew wasn’t solid, and explained why. He even tested it further before he went any further
AND
He offered to remove every single stone for me from those rings including the teeny tiny diamond from that one ring telling me that he was going to just melt it and that he would give it back to me if I wanted… which it was THAT small that I was like ‘Nahh”…
So my rating for my experience is so good compared to these other ones and the thing is I don’t doubt for a second these other reviews… I think the Washington location has a bad reputation for being sleezy because… well…it’s sleezy as hell over there.
Why didn’t I give him 4 or 5 stars? Because he ONLY buys solid gold 24, 22, 18, 14, 10KG only. No silver, no gold plated, no gold filled, no platinum, no nothing… just gold… which is a bummer because I have a lot of these other metals I’d like to sell also.
Also, he could maybe tidy up his displays a bit. His store isn’t dirty or anything. He just has a lot of those Hover Boards and they sort of take up the whole front office it seems. It’s just not «sightly» in a good way but I wasn’t there to buy HoverBoards and he was such a nice nice guy. Kind of handsome and charming too… down to earth… and he’s honest.

If I could rate them having a 0 star, then I would. They are so rude. Call to ask for the hours, & I couldn’t hear to make sure if it was the right name for the place. Dude goes «if you don’t know where your calling to then I don’t want to talk to you». Who the heck says that. Then I said I couldn’t hear what you said in the beginning, so I repeat the name I’m looking for & all he says again rudely is «that’s what I said in the beginning». Dumb ignorant «guy». Would never go there. Also their place is a disaster and dirty in the front. Have to go in thru the back door. plus I heard guy talks up a storm with you & takes sooo long checking your jewelry.

Ok. So let me tell you that I only went here because of all the terrible reviews. I went to the places that people said were GREAT!!! LOL I was only offered a portion of what I got here. The old man is cool AF! Kind of a dry raw sense of humor but means no harm! I got almost 2x what others were offering me for a ring that I paid $ 1200 for… and a lottery ticket! Yeah, he talks alot and yeah, if you don’t have an open enough mind to understand dry humor than you’ll probably be uncomfortable. .but were goin to get $$$$, RIGHT? You’re gonna get more here. I left laughing and with more $ in my pocket than I expected! THE OLD MAN MADE MY DAY! If you’re scared of the neighborhood or the «hallway» …track it back over to your own neighborhood… this is where we’re from!

Cool place to go. Owner is very nice and he gives fair prices for jewelry. I like your commercial and that you give out lottery tickets. We will definitely be returning to Anubis jewelers

Can’t even BEGIN to explain how awful this place is. I’ve seen Anubis jewelers on t. v, looked promising do thought I’d give it a shot. This place isn’t even appealing let alone professional. You have to go behind the building to enter only to wait in a small claustrophobic hallway. After standing in line over 45 minutes, it’s finally my turn. (not to mention, this guy takes his time chatting it up with certain people, you can tell come there regularly for a few bucks for their fix) anyway, this guy is unbelievably rude. The one that looks like an overweight Albert Einstein, but he is not smart. I brought in a few loose tourmaline, alexandrite, and my great grandmothers custom gold ring. He said he didn’t know if the jewels were real or not. Well, that’s what I came here for! To see it my items were real and how much I could sell them for. So I asked him how much. He said maybe I can do 150 and I said I couldn’t go that low it wouldn’t be worth it. He flips out, throws my grandmothers ring across the hall screaming «shame on you! I don’t do appraisals! Leave now!» I was so in shock and in anger, I picked up my ring and left. I’m telling you, this guy has major bipolar/​schizophrenia issues. So anyways I, went to Chris’s in Niles and he offered 185 for it. Chris’s is a much friendlier, professional and SAFER business.

If you were wondering where the troll under the bridge went, look no further! If you are looking for a good place to trade in your jewelry, go elsewhere! This place was scary. From the bullet proof glass to the frightful man behind it. I had my daughter with me when I went to sell some old jewelry, but after being in there for about five minutes, waiting for the guy to finish blabbing with the lady in front of me, I left because the environment was so deplorable.

I can’t really give a review… BECAUSE they have NEVER been open every time i have tried to go their. Always a hand written sign saying they would be in @ a certain time.
And i checked the times: everyday 12:00 — 7:00 pm
Not a chance, i went on a Thursday @ 2:45pm, homemade sign stating they would be in @ 2:30pm…
Tried Friday… sign said we will be open Saturday @ 2… HUA?

LADIES DON’T GO ALONE GUYS DON’T LET YOUR GIRL GO IN THERE!!!
OMG!!! I stopped by because I had a gold chain in need of repair. Standing at the backdoor (that’s the entrance) Door was locked as I stood reading the business hours a pick up drives up 2 men in the pick-​up the driver starts honking his horn at me both men are laughing. The passenger steps out of the truck but still behind the passenger door. As I ask if the y perform any repairs the creepy dirty guy bald except for a ring of long hair on his head starts playing with his junk (man business) and tells me the are strictly a pawn shop.

This is for the Fremont location on Washington. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. First of all it is NOT a jewelry store, its some seedy pawn shop that is totally ghetto, it smells inside.
I had finally gotten around to cleaning out stuff from my high school days in my old room at my parents and found some rings that I would never wear again, didn’t want to throw them out so I first took them to Chris’s Jewelry. Chris was totally professional and nice, I was surprised, he offered me quite a bit, mainly for one that was thick, solid 18k gold (about .3 ounces).
My husband told me to get at least 2 opinions so I went to Anubis, I get there and I was expecting to see a normal jewelry store like Chris’s but no its a scary looking hallway, and the worker was behind some bullet proof glass, I had to wait in line forever while he was talking to some lady in front of me who was proud of the fact that she would beat the S#$t out of her kids all the time, (very ghetto and awful).
I was about to leave but it was my turn, I showed him the rings, he tests them out, he asked me about the symbol of one of them I tell him an old friend gave it to me, then he asks for my ID, I wasnt sure if he was going to take the rings right away and offer me money so first I ask for the offer, he says he needs ID before any transaction so I agree then he gets this really serious angry expression on his face, closes his eyes, throws the rings and my ID back at me saying he doesnt want any of them! I ask him why, he says, «I just don’t!» and storms off into the back! I quietly pack up my stuff and leave thinking what the heck just happened. I’m wondering if the guy had a mental problem.
I also had my precious 1 year old baby with me, I should have never ever gone into this place in the first place, what a mistake! If you have nice jewelry, go to Chris’s.

The one in Fremont is the best jewelry buyer in the whole of CA. Very friendly father-​and-​son team! It’s really worth going there.

This is a review of their Fremont location on Washington Blvd:
Their website said they were open til 8pm so we went down at 530p on a Saturday evening to see about a jewelry repair… lights were on, some guys were inside, door was locked… sleezy lookin guy inside said they were closed.
Epic fail. I’ll try someplace else
