Call 215-792-3434 or book an appointment.
Sell, Redesign, Trade or Keep the Jewelry?
Older and inherited jewelry can create several different choices.
You may decide to:
- Keep the piece
- Give it to another family member
- Redesign it into something new
- Use its value toward another jewelry purchase
- Obtain a formal written appraisal
- Consign it
- Sell it directly
There is no single correct choice.
The important thing is to understand the original property before making an irreversible decision.
If You Want to Keep It
If the jewelry has sentimental importance and you enjoy owning it, keeping it may be the right decision.
If You Want to Redesign It
Redesign can make sense when you want to preserve a family diamond, gemstone, or precious metal but prefer a different style.
If You Want to Trade It
A trade or store-credit arrangement may be useful when you already intend to purchase something else.
If You Want to Sell It
A direct purchase evaluation addresses a different question:
What is a buyer prepared to offer for this property if I decide to sell?
Our purchase evaluations do not require you to buy replacement jewelry or use your offer toward another transaction.
Before Redesigning or Scrapping Older Jewelry
If you are uncertain whether to keep or sell an inherited piece, consider having the original jewelry examined before it is melted, dismantled, reset, or substantially altered.
This can be particularly relevant for:
- Antique diamond rings
- Victorian jewelry
- Edwardian platinum pieces
- Art Deco jewelry
- Signed designer jewelry
- Old mine cut diamonds
- Old European cut diamonds
- Natural colored gemstones
- Original matching sets
- Unusual period pieces
Once the original construction is lost, it may not be possible to recreate all of the information the complete piece originally provided.
Looking for a Gold Buyer Near North Hills?
We purchase many forms of gold and precious-metal jewelry, including:
- 10K gold
- 14K gold
- 18K gold
- Higher-karat gold
- Yellow gold
- White gold
- Rose gold
- Gold rings
- Chains and necklaces
- Bracelets
- Earrings and single earrings
- Broken chains and clasps
- Damaged jewelry
- Unwanted gold jewelry
- Gold jewelry containing diamonds or gemstones
- Platinum jewelry
For ordinary gold jewelry, purity, weight, and current precious-metal market conditions may be the primary considerations.
However, not every gold item belongs strictly in the scrap category.

Gold Value vs. Jewelry Value
Two pieces can contain the same karat of gold and still require very different evaluations.
For example:
- A broken ordinary 14K chain may primarily have precious-metal value
- A signed vintage bracelet may have characteristics beyond metal weight
- A diamond ring may depend heavily on the diamond
- An antique brooch may require consideration of period and craftsmanship
- A collectible gold watch may belong primarily in the watch market
This is why identification should generally come before melting unfamiliar jewelry.

We evaluate:
- Old mine cuts
- Old European cuts
- Transitional cuts
- Rose cuts
- Other antique and period diamond styles
If an antique diamond remains in an original or period setting, consider having the complete piece examined before removing or recutting the stone.

Designer attribution may affect how a piece should be considered.
We evaluate signed jewelry from recognized makers and houses when appropriate.
Depending on the item, relevant characteristics can include:
- Maker
- Authenticity
- Design or collection
- Serial numbers
- Hallmarks
- Precious-metal content
- Diamonds
- Colored gemstones
- Condition
- Originality
- Documentation
- Current secondary-market demand
If the jewelry has an original box, receipt, certificate, laboratory report, or older appraisal, bring those materials with it.

If you are considering selling a collectible older watch, avoid aggressive polishing or unnecessary cosmetic restoration before having it examined.
If original components were returned during previous service, bring those parts with the watch.

Inherited Jewelry & Family Collections
You do not need to organize or identify an inherited collection before visiting us.
A family collection can contain:
- Ordinary gold jewelry
- Estate and antique pieces
- Diamond engagement rings
- Loose diamonds
- Designer jewelry
- Colored gemstones
- Luxury watches
- Vintage watches
- Gold coins

- Paper currency

Bring the smaller valuables as you found them.
We can help identify the different categories before you decide what you want to sell.
You can sell the entire group of qualifying items, selected pieces, or nothing at all.
Coins, Bullion & Currency
Our team includes numismatic specialists who evaluate coins and currency that sometimes appear alongside jewelry in inherited collections.
We evaluate:
- U.S. coins
- Gold coins
- Silver coins
- Foreign coins
- Certified coins
- Bullion
- Coin collections
- Paper currency
A gold or silver coin should not automatically be evaluated only according to its precious-metal content.
Date, mint, denomination, condition, rarity, certification, variety, and collector demand can also matter.
Do not clean collectible coins before having them examined.
→ Learn more about selling coins and collections
Purchase Evaluation vs. Formal Appraisal
A purchase evaluation and a formal written appraisal serve different purposes.
A formal appraisal may be appropriate when documentation is required for insurance, estate administration, estate planning, charitable donation, legal matters, or another formal valuation purpose.
If your primary question is:
"What would a buyer offer me if I decide to sell?"
a purchase evaluation addresses that question directly.
You do not need a new formal appraisal simply to receive a purchase offer from us.
