In-Store
The simplest way to get offers on jewelry pieces is to physically take them into the store. Under these circumstances, you do not need an appointment and on various days of the week, veteran buyers are available to sit down with you and closely examine your piece.
Knowledgeable buyers often make offers within minutes and their offers hold for a specified number of days in case you want to shop around. Customers are always the top priority and their best interests are considered if they need to sell their pieces somewhere else.
Mailing your Jewelry

- After the team has extended an offer, you can decide whether you want to accept or decline it.
- If you choose to accept the offer, the payment will be swiftly made through a wire transfer or in the form of a check. If you make the choice to decline the offer, your piece will be shipped back and you will be allowed to send it back within a specified period of time in case you change your mind.
