How Does
Consignment Work?
-
We ask that you call and set up an
appointment. Bring your fine jewelry with
you and any paperwork you have readily
available. Allow approximately 20 minutes
for the initial consult (more time if you
have many items).
-
We will evaluate each piece of jewelry
using industry guides to determine the
value, treating you as a dealer.
-
We will then determine the amount of
dollars we can guarantee. Assuming the
numbers are acceptable, a contract is created
and signed.
What's my percentage?
How long does it
usually take?
-
After cleaning and polishing, a stock
number is assigned. Checks are written for
sold merchandise on the 20th of each month.
-
It is very difficult to predict when
your piece will sell. Keep in mind that the
uniqueness of the jewelry, price range, and
time of the year are all factors to
consider. Have patience, we will work hard for you!
Can I pick up my Jewelry?
-
The time period on our contract is for 2 years.
-
You may pick up your jewelry at any time before our contract is up for a fee of $20 for each item.
-
We do require 24 hours notice to pick up jewelry.
Do we need a current
appraisal?
-
No, the new owners will need an
appraisal for insurance purposes, which we
will provide at the time of purchase.
-
We do have a GIA appraiser on staff to
verify the quality of the jewelry we sell.
