In-Person Testing & Evaluation

Initial Consultation

Your items are examined using appropriate gemological and precious metal testing methods. This may include weighing, measuring, metal testing, diamond and gemstone identification, authentication, condition assessment, and photographic documentation when appropriate.

We begin by discussing the items you are considering selling and the most appropriate path for each item. Market conditions, resale potential, and whether pieces may hold greater value as estate jewelry rather than scrap are considered. Timing, documentation requirements, and transaction procedures are discussed before moving forward.

Holding Period and Final Processing

Offer and Documentation

Purchased items may be subject to a mandatory holding period before resale, alteration, or refining, as required by applicable regulations. Following the holding period, items may be resold as estate jewelry, refurbished, or processed for precious metal recovery depending on their condition and marketability.

Following evaluation, a purchase offer is presented based on current market conditions, precious metal value, gemstone quality, brand recognition, and resale potential. If accepted, seller identification and transaction records are completed in accordance with applicable state and local regulations governing the purchase of precious metals and jewelry.
