Transparent evaluation
You see how we evaluate your items
We begin with the complete piece, examine diamonds and gemstones, hallmarks, signatures, construction, age and condition, and determine whether jewelry or collector value may exceed metal value. Relevant reports and documentation are considered where available.
Testing and equipment
XRF analysis is explained in front of you
XRF analysis may help identify precious-metal composition without relying on color or stamps alone. Testing is performed in front of you when appropriate, but the complete jewelry evaluation also considers diamonds, gemstones, design, maker and market demand.
Questions answered
Diamond and estate-jewelry questions
Should estate jewelry be evaluated before it is scrapped?
Yes. Craftsmanship, gemstones, maker, age, condition and market demand can create value beyond the metal.
Do I need a grading report?
No. Bring reports if you have them, but loose and mounted diamonds can still be examined without paperwork.
Do you buy broken diamond jewelry?
Yes. Broken settings, damaged pieces and single earrings may still have diamond, gemstone, design or precious-metal value.
Should I clean inherited jewelry first?
No. Bring pieces in their present condition with any boxes, receipts, reports or family notes.
