Fever of Gold is a pawn broker and precious metals buyer located in Manhattan at 1798 3rd Ave (between E 99th-100th St) in New York City. The business has built a reputation around buying and selling jewelry, metals, and collectibles in the New York metro area. The company operates a physical storefront and serves customers from NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, New Jersey, Bronx, and Staten Island.
The company's primary services include purchasing precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), jewelry (both old and new), diamonds, antiques, and gold coins. They offer same-day cash payments for items purchased. On the selling side, they maintain inventory of custom jewelry and pre-owned pieces including engagement rings, diamond rings, wedding bands, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants, and cuff links, available at wholesale prices. They also offer repair services and a pawn lending option.
Fever of Gold explicitly differentiates itself by claiming to pay significantly more than mail-in gold buying services (citing 70% higher payouts on average) and positioning itself against temporary hotel-based gold buyers. They emphasize expert appraisals, immediate on-site cash payment, and listed pricing. The business markets itself as a local alternative to national commercialized gold buying operations.
The company operates transparently with published contact information and a straightforward website. However, like all pawn operations, this is a collateral-based lending and goods transaction business, not a credit solution. Customers should understand they are selling items at wholesale or pawning goods, not obtaining traditional financing.
