The Jewelry Evaluation Process

When you bring in fine jewelry, we examine multiple factors:

We check for designer hallmarks, stamps, and signatures that indicate brand authenticity. We test the metal content — whether it's platinum, 18K gold, 14K gold, or sterling silver. For pieces with gemstones, we assess the type, quality, and setting.

For designer pieces, we research current market demand and recent sales of comparable items. Some designer jewelry is worth more than its metal and stone value due to brand prestige and collectibility.

Designer Brands We Purchase

We buy fine jewelry from recognized designers and luxury brands, including:

• Cartier (Love bracelets, Trinity rings, Tank watches)
• Tiffany & Co. (engagement rings, silver pieces, charms)
• Van Cleef & Arpels (Alhambra, Perlée collections)
• David Yurman (Cable bracelets, rings)
• Harry Winston
• Bulgari
• Chopard
• Buccellati
• James Avery
• Other recognized designers and estate pieces

Factors That Affect Jewelry Value

The value of fine jewelry depends on several elements working together:

Metal type and weight form the base value. Platinum commands a premium over gold, which is worth more than silver. The karat purity of gold affects per-gram value.

Gemstones can significantly increase value. Diamonds are graded by the 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, carat). Colored gemstones like sapphires, rubies, and emeralds are evaluated by type, color quality, clarity, and origin.

Brand and designer recognition adds value beyond materials. A Cartier Love bracelet in good condition can sell for well above its gold weight.

Condition matters — pieces with original packaging, certificates, or in excellent condition typically command higher offers.
