~About our family jeweler

South Tampa's
trusted jeweler.

Arthur Yates and Son Jewelers has served the Tampa Bay area since 1947. Now in its third generation under Ron and David Yates with partner Dan Rodda, our family business is a heritage gold buyer, custom jeweler, and full-service repair shop on South Dale Mabry — the kind of place where the owners still meet you across the counter.

We buy gold, silver, coins, diamonds, and pre-owned Rolex watches at fair, transparent prices, and we curate diamond engagement rings, estate jewelry, and bridal collections alongside the work that comes off our own bench. Old-fashioned service, three generations deep.

A chart of every metal

Ron and David spent over an hour going through my mother's estate jewelry, explaining what every piece was worth and why. Fair prices and no pressure — exactly what you want from a family jeweler.

I had them design an engagement ring from sketches my fiancée and I had drawn. Patient, precise, and the finished ring is everything we hoped for. Highly recommend their custom work.

Brought in an old Rolex that hadn't run in years. They serviced it on-site, kept the original parts, and explained everything they did. It's running better than the day I got it.

My grandmother bought from Arthur Yates in the sixties, my mother bought from them in the eighties, and now I do. The same fair, honest service three generations later.

Best price in Tampa for the gold I sold. Walked in, walked out in fifteen minutes with a fair offer in hand. Nothing else to it.

They resized my engagement ring perfectly and polished it up like new — same-day. The owners are right there at the counter every time.

A real family jeweler. Honest, knowledgeable, and they take their time. I'll be back for every piece I buy or sell.
