What is the evaluation process?
Our jewelry expert will carefully examine, test, and evaluate your piece using his decades of experience in the trade. We will take into consideration a wide range of factors when evaluating your piece. Current market, designer, metal content, stone quality and origin, desirability, and accompanying certificates and paperwork if applicable.
I have an appraisal, can you pay me full appraisal price?
Often appraisal prices are inflated, as they are a estimate of retail replacement value and take into consideration manufacturer and retailer overhead. Thus your appraisal may be higher than the items actual value. Since there are no uniform industry guidelines, laws, or rules for jewelry appraisals, the appraisal price can vary significantly for the same item.
How are you different from a pawn shop?
Our experience and specialized knowledge within the industry allows us to more accurately evaluate your jewelry and offer you more for your unwanted jewelry than a pawn shop or broker. Our professional staff is located in a safe secure building, and with over 4 decades of experience we are expertly suited to provide you a comfortable & skillful experience.
Is it helpful if I have certificates for my item?
It can! While not having a certificate does not necessarily devalue your item, accompanying stone reports from highly regarded labs such as GIA can be helpful, and also assist in us giving you a accurate estimate over the phone/email. Don’t worry if you don’t have a certificate….many valuable pieces do not have them. We will evaluate your piece regardless.
How do I receive payment?
Upon accepting an offer for your jewelry, you will receive immediate payment via Check or Cash.
Are you located in a safe neighborhood?
We are located in a private secure building in the South-of-Market neighborhood in San Francisco.
