Bring us unwanted, broken or inherited jewelry, sterling silverware and precious metals. We’ll evaluate your items, explain what we find, and make a clear market-based offer—with no pressure to sell.
From a single broken chain to an inherited collection, bring your items as they are. We’ll help identify what you have and explain how precious-metal value is determined.
10K, 14K, 18K, 22K and other gold jewelry, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and chains.
Broken chains, single earrings, damaged rings, mismatched pieces and jewelry you simply no longer wear can still have precious-metal value.
Sterling jewelry, flatware, serving pieces and other sterling-silver items, subject to testing and evaluation. Bring complete sets, partial sets or individual pieces.
Rings, chains and other platinum jewelry evaluated for precious-metal content and other potential value.
Gold and silver coins, rounds and bars. Numismatic or collectible items may deserve more than a simple melt-value evaluation.
Jewelry and precious-metal collections you’ve inherited or are helping settle. We take the time to explain what is in the collection.
