How does the process work?
1. The first step is to inspect and authenticate your client’s valuables.*
This can be done either at our office or yours. A third option is to go to the client’s residence. If items need to be shipped, they would be fully insured with specialized industry shippers. Appraisal fees apply.
2. The next step is to separate items which could be sold immediately and items which would need more research.
- Gold and Silver jewelry are the quickest to sell.
- Gold and Silver coins need to be appraised for rarity and condition in order to be given fair market value. However, they can be sold quickly as well.
- Loose or mounted diamonds or gemstones in jewelry need to be evaluated more closely to determine size, color and clarity of the diamond or gemstone in order to maximize return and may require additional independent lab certification.
- If applicable, some authenticated premium pieces (e.g. Tiffany & Co., Harry Winston), will be assessed separately.
3. The last step is to present our list of all assessed items.
This includes a Real Market Value purchase price.

Testimonials
“It was such a fun experience working with Jacob on my ring. He really took the time to explain to me and my fiancé about diamonds, which diamond shape would look good with the ring that I had in mind. When it came to picking out a watch and a wedding band for my fiancé, he was so helpful in providing us with different options based on what features my husband-to-be wanted in his jewelry. I would strongly recommend working with Jacob because of his attention to detail and ensuring you are getting the piece that you envisioned.”
