Met Albert several years ago selling some silver for my niece as she said he had the best prices. Since then I have been back many times and would never go to another jewelry/precious metal store again. Not only is Albert a true professional who is exceptional at what he does, he has great rapport with his customers, understands their needs, and always delivers an uncommonly positive experience. He'll even customize pieces just for you!

Albert was very pleasant, professional and helpful, giving us a fair deal (and more than I thought we'd get) for the gold coins we brought in to sell. He even answered some questions regarding a ring of mine I had bought previously at a garage sale. We are very happy with Albert who treated us in a very friendly manner and also gave us insight into investing in gold and silver for the future. He was very knowledgeable. The jewelry in the store was beautiful, as well. Highly recommend him for your gold, silver and jewelry needs.

I had the most incredible experience at Albert the Jeweler, and I simply can't praise them enough for their exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service. From a mere idea in my mind, they transformed my vision into an exquisite reality in the form of my dream 100% custom engagement ring.Working with Albert and his team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They listened attentively as I shared my thoughts and ideas for a custom engagement ring. Their dedication to understanding the emotional significance behind every detail was truly heartwarming.What impressed me the most was their unwavering commitment to turning my vision into reality. The end result? A breathtakingly beautiful engagement ring that surpassed every expectation I had. The level of intricacy, the precision in setting the diamonds, and the overall elegance of the piece left me speechless.If you're looking for more than just jewelry, if you're searching for an experience that turns dreams into reality, then look no further than Albert the Jeweler. They have gained a customer for life, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to continue doing business with them in the future. Thank you, Albert, for making my engagement ring journey so incredibly special!

Great experience selling 3 rings at Gold & Jewelry Direct. Albert was friendly, professional, and respectful. He gave an honest, and more than I expected, offer for my jewelry. I would definitely go back and I highly recommend.

Before I sing the praises of Albert Kraus, let me tell you where NOT to do business with because they take advantage of inexperienced people like myself who aren't familiar with selling Gold & Silver. PG$ Gold & Coin and Jewelry & Coin Mart which are both located in Schaumburg, IL. Both of these places really "Low Balled me" and gave me very poor prices on the Gold I was selling while they were telling me how fair of a price they were giving me. Both places were dishonest and PG$ Gold & Silver actually dishonestly "didn't refresh the computer screen" and cheated me additionally on the "spot price" of Gold by $11 per ounce. I realized this after I got home and looked at a graph that showed how she cheated me! I would totally avoid these two places like the plaque if I was you.Now to review Gold & Jewelry Direct and owner Albert Kraus. If only I would have found him before I did business with the above-mentioned scammers! It was a 30 minute drive from Schaumburg to Algonquin to Albert Kraus's Store. Believe me, it is well worth the drive wherever you are coming from! Albert is so personable, honest, knowledgeable, professional and experienced in Gold, Silver & jewelry. I instantly developed trust in him seeing him to be of good character and sincerity. Which is great, but of course the prices he was offering for my Gold, Silver and Jewelry was really important to me too. Albert gave me very good prices on everything I had which were much better than the two above mentioned stores in the first paragraph. I sold all the Gold, Silver & Gold Ring I had brought to Albert without hesitation! It was so wonderful to not have to be worried about being scammed or taken advantage of like I had been before. I honestly and heartly recommend Albert if you have any Gold, Silver or Jewelry that you want to buy or sell. I was just a stranger who walked in off the street and was treated like a valued customer and friend. He spent much time explaining everything and answered all my questions fully & honestly.Don't waste your time shopping around, just go to see Albert,I believe he will exceed your expectations, and treat you fairly and you will walk out as a friend and have full confidence to recommend him to family & friends.Bob Roden

Honest wonderful people to do business with. Great prices. Buy with confidence. Lower prices than any reputable bullion dealer online. Lower prices mean more silver or gold for your dollar.

My husband and I always have great experiences with Albert. Today, he was about to go on his lunch break but as soon as he saw us coming, he opened his store to us. His prices are unbeatable and he takes the time to get to know his clients. He’s got a great inventory, too!

I purchased new diamond ring for myself. Albert was very lovely to work with. He showed me many samples of what I was interested in and I just completely fell in love with this one. Thanks!
