Jewelry Appraisals for Insurance and Estates

We buy old Jewelry, Pecious Metals,

Sterling Silverware and more!

Appraisal

An appraisal consists of weight, metal identification, gemstone grading, a valuation and pictures.

Choose a while-you-wait appraisal or drop your items off. Many pieces of jewelry need extensive cleaning before appraisal so this can take time. Plan to spend at least an hour a piece for appraisal.

 If you decide to leave your jewelry we take pictures of each piece and give you a receipt documentation of each item. They are then stored in a safe protected by an alarm and insurance. Usually these appraisals are completed within a few days. We then will contact you to arrange a review for your appraisal and returning your jewelry to you clean and shiny!

Gold is at record breaking highs!!

We highly value your time and strive to provide a secure, enjoyable experience to each one of our customers. When we buy gold and other precious metals, we deliver friendly customer service and quick gold evaluations to ensure you receive your cash immediately. In addition to buying gold, we buy silver, antique jewelry, designer jewelry, silverware and service sets and coins!

As gold buyers, we follow a simple process for buying gold from customers.

1. Bring your gold and other precious metals to our secure office, and we will sort through and classify the gold according to its type.

2. In cases where the gold type is unknown, our GIA-certified gemologist will determine the gold type by running a quick on-the-spot test.

3. Once the gold type is determined, we’ll weigh your gold pieces in front of you and make a fair offer. If you choose to accept the offer we provide, you will receive your money immediately.

4. We do not buy diamonds or gemstones. For most jewelry with small gemstones we pay you the gold weight value for them. We can remove larger gemstones for you to keep.

5. We do not repair jewelry but will give you referrals.

How to tell Gold Type

Inside a ring there is usually a stamp of 10kt,14kt, 18kt or 417, 585, 750. 925 for Sterling Silver.  The stamp is next to the clasp on chains, bracelets and necklaces.

If there is a GF (gold filled) stamp with a number (1/20GF) it is costume jewelry.

The easiest way to tell costume jewelry is to use a strong magnet.

 As a Professional Appraiser we can evaluate your items to decide what your should sell, what is worth appraising and if repairs are needed.

You can also use your old, wornout, unloved precious metal jewelry to pay for the insurance appraisals on the rest of your valuable jewelry.
