How It Works
Send Photos
Take clear photos of your piece—front, back, any signatures or hallmarks, and the clasp or closure. Include any documentation you have. Email them to us for an initial assessment.
Get a Preliminary Offer
Based on your photos and information, we'll provide a preliminary value range. This gives you an idea of what to expect before you commit to anything.
In-Person Evaluation
If you're interested in proceeding, we'll arrange to examine the piece in person. This includes full authentication and condition assessment. If you're not local, we can discuss secure shipping options. Visit us at our NYC Diamond District location.
Final Offer
After examination, we'll make a firm offer. No games, no pressure. If you accept, we process payment promptly. If you decline, your piece is returned at our expense.
Why Sell to Us
Fair Pricing
We know the market because we're in it every day. Our offers reflect what pieces actually trade for, not lowball numbers designed to leave room for huge markups.
No Pressure
Take your time. Get other offers if you want. We're confident in our pricing and don't need high-pressure tactics to close deals.
Quick Payment
Accept our offer and get paid. Wire transfer, check, or whatever works for you. No waiting for consignment sales or hoping for auction results.
Discretion
Your business is your business. We handle transactions professionally and privately, whether you're downsizing a collection or settling an estate.
Prefer Consignment?
If you're not in a rush and want to maximize value, consignment might be right for you. We handle authentication, professional photography, marketing, and sales. You get the benefit of our client network and retail pricing.

Documentation That Helps
While we authenticate everything regardless, documentation can affect value:
- Original purchase receipt — Proves retail provenance
- Original box and papers — Adds collectibility
- Service records — Shows maintenance history
- Appraisals — Useful for comparison, though we'll do our own assessment
- Certificate of authenticity — From the brand or reputable source
- Provenance information — Notable previous owners, exhibition history
Don't have any of this? No problem. We authenticate pieces on their own merits.

Contact Us About Selling →Common Questions
How long does the process take?
Initial assessment from photos: 1-2 business days. If you proceed to in-person evaluation, we can typically complete everything within a week of receiving the piece.
What if I'm not in New York?
We work with clients nationwide. For significant pieces, we can arrange secure shipping with full insurance. For major collections, we may travel to you.
Will you buy pieces that aren't signed?
Our focus is signed jewelry, but we do purchase fine quality estate pieces with significant stones even without maker's marks. Send photos and we'll let you know.
How do you determine value?
We consider current market conditions, recent comparable sales, condition, documentation, and demand for specific brands and styles. We're transparent about our reasoning.
