For more than four decades, Mimi’s Jewelry has served Orange County, including 28 years at its Fountain Valley location.
While owner and certified gemologist David Truong purchases jewelry every day, his biannual buying event, set for May 1–20, comes at an opportune time with gold prices at historic highs.
“Unlike many jewelry stores that bring in temporary buyers from out of town who have no lasting connection to our community, Mimi’s Jewelry offers something fundamentally different,” Truong said. “Our team has been serving Orange County for generations.”
During this special event, customers will work directly with Truong, ensuring expert evaluation from the highest level of the organiza tion.
“When you bring your treasures to Mimi’s, you’re working with professionals who understand not just the market value of your pieces, but often their historical and sentimental significance as well. We’re accountable to our community because we’re part of it—yesterday, today, and tomorrow,” he said.
“Our evaluation goes far beyond basic ‘weigh and pay’ methods that value items solely by metal weight,” Truong said. “We assess each piece individually, considering design, craftsmanship and gemstone quality.
“With three jewelers on staff, we see potential where others see only melt value. Through our upcycling approach, we transform forgotten treasures into contemporary pieces—offering better value while reducing environmental impact.”
Mimi’s evaluation process combines expertise with state-of-the-art technology, including XRF X-ray gold scanning equipment, GIA-rated microscopes, and specialized testing instruments.
“You’ll know exactly what you have—no guesswork,” Truong said.
“We believe in showing you exactly what you have before you decide. Our pressure-free approach provides complete information so you can make confident choices, whether you sell, redesign, or simply learn more about your treasured pieces,” he said.
Mimi’s invites customers to visit during the buying event and bring in gold, silver, diamonds, watches, estate jewelry, bullion, and coins for a no-obligation evaluation.
Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Mimi’s Jewelry is located at 18591 Brookhurst St. in Fountain Valley. Call 714-964-7851 or visit www. mimisjewelryinc.com
