We Sell Your Fine & Estate Jewelry on Consignment - Your Highest Return!

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?

• We do not work on a percentage basis. That's why we give you a guaranteed dollar amount to expect when your item is sold.

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.

Another alternative to consigning your jewelry is to possibly have the piece re-designed into something that will help you preserve the memories and keep the jewelry in your collection. One consigner had this very situation:
