Meet Shawn
Pittsburgh roots, concierge service.
Shawn founded Shawn's Gold Standard after more than 20 years of appraising precious metals for local jewelers and estate attorneys. He grew up in the South Hills and built his concierge practice to feel more like a private wealth consultation than a pawn counter—warm hospitality, transparent pricing, and documentation you can take to your financial advisor.
When he isn't evaluating heirloom jewelry or rare coins, Shawn volunteers with neighborhood cleanups in Shadyside and hosts educational workshops on spotting counterfeit bullion. Clients appreciate his calm, consultative approach and the way he benchmarks every offer against the live Kitco feed in plain sight.
Transparent pricing
