A pawn shop is built for speed on a loan, not for getting the most out of a signed piece — it will usually quote your jewelry close to its gold weight. A specialist buyer prices the brand, the stone and the design on top of the metal. If your piece is signed or holds a good diamond, the difference is not small.

An appraisal states what it would cost to replace the piece at full retail, for insurance. Our offer is what it resells for in today's market. Those are two different numbers by design — no buyer pays a replacement-value appraisal.

It depends on the piece. Signed designer jewelry does best with a specialist who prices the brand. Plain gold does best wherever you're paid honestly against spot. Auction can beat us on exceptional pieces but takes months and charges fees. We'll tell you if your piece is one of those.

Yes. Most rings we buy have no paperwork at all. A GIA or AGS report helps and can raise the offer because it removes doubt, but we grade the stone ourselves either way. Don't pay to certify a stone just to sell it — ask us first.

Yes. Original box and papers help and add value, but signed pieces are identified by their hallmarks, serial numbers and construction — not the packaging. We buy signed jewelry every week with nothing but the piece itself.

No. Cartier, Tiffany and Van Cleef do not buy their jewelry back from the public — the same is true of nearly every luxury house. That's exactly why specialist buyers exist. Bring it to us instead.

Be aware that lab-grown diamonds have very little resale value — prices have fallen dramatically and continue to. If your stone is lab-grown we'll tell you honestly what it's worth, which is often much less than you paid. The setting itself may still carry value.

Bring all of it, unsorted. Don't clean or repair anything first. Have it looked at as one collection so the good pieces are identified properly rather than lumped in with costume — that's where inherited jewelry usually loses money.

Often much more than people expect. Older pieces carry gold weight at minimum, and signed or period pieces regularly beat modern equivalents. Even a box that looks like costume is worth ten minutes of our time.

Right here — no questions about why. Bring it in or mail it to us free, with or without the certificate. We'll grade the stone, price the setting and give you a no-obligation offer within a business day.

Anywhere that pays you honestly against the day's spot price and weighs in front of you. Ask any buyer what percentage of spot they're paying and at what karat — if they won't answer plainly, leave. We'll show you the math.

Yes. Tangled chains, missing stones, snapped clasps, single earrings. Damage lowers the offer, it rarely eliminates it — and please don't repair it first, since you'd be paying retail for work that doesn't raise our number.

Both. There's no minimum size. Smaller stones in a signed setting are frequently worth more than a larger stone in an unsigned one.

We pay by secure transfer directly into your bank account rather than cash — it's safer for both sides and it's traceable, which protects you. Most quotes go out within one business day, and payment follows as soon as the piece is verified.

Shipping to us is free — USPS label or FedEx home pick-up, your choice. Jewelry is small and mails easily. If you'd rather not mail it at all, bring it to 127 S Vermont Ave and watch the whole appraisal happen in front of you.
