Diamonds

We strive to offer the highest prices possible on all quality diamonds. Unfortunately over the past five years many jewelry manufacturers have resorted to using lower and lower quality diamonds in such items as tennis bracelets, earrings, pendants, and cluster rings. They are actually utilizing diamond rough that should be reserved for industrial purposes! Such diamonds are characterized by a cloudy, cottony, or brownish appearance and have no value or resale potential. So please understand that any diamond jewelry that falls under this category will be valued only for its gold content.

With that exception, we carefully examine and grade all diamonds shipped to us and we calculate our offer price promptly. We buy from many antique dealers, jewelers, pawnbrokers, and regular folk so our offers must be fair. Round brilliant and fancy shaped diamonds of fine make bring the most money especially GIA, AGS, and IGI certified.

Also remember that although diamonds are extremely hard, they are not exempt from chipping. It’s not unusual for diamonds that are worn daily to exhibit some form of damage ranging from slight to massive. Such damage can affect value minimally to major.

  • AGS 000

Antiques

Perhaps a more accurate question would be what kind of estate jewelry do we buy? In a strict sense, antique items should be at least 100 years old. However we are interested much more in quality examples of jewelry from such periods in history as Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau. Condition plays a very important part in value and any item that has undergone repair or alteration will command much lower prices than pristine originals. Even if your items are not in the finest condition they still may bring substantial money from us. You might be pleasantly surprised how much that ugly bug pin is worth!

Many other models of both wrist and pocket watches can be worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Please be aware that many watches from the 1950’s & up are very common.

Gold-Filled & Gold Plated

This category encompasses a lot of items ranging from near worthless to high value. The main categories in descending value are:

  • Non-magnetic jewelry, watch cases, and watch bands marked gold-filled or rolled gold plate.
  • Non-magnetic jewelry, watch cases, and watch bands marked gold plate
  • Anything with gold color but not marked
  • Magnetic jewelry, watch cases, and watch bands marked gold-filled or rolled gold plate.
  • Magnetic jewelry, watch cases, and watch bands marked gold plate

Items that are magnetic (made of steel) are much more difficult to refine and very labor-intensive thus the lower value compared to non-magnetic items. Although gold-filled and plated items by themselves are not worth shipping, when combined with other higher value items, will make the effort worthwhile.

We buy the following gold-filled & gold-plate:

  • Antique jewelry
  • Bracelets
  • Children’s jewelry
  • Pocket watch cases
  • Watch cases (most case bottoms are steel)
  • Any jewelry, any condition
  • Chains
  • Costume jewelry
  • Watch bands
