WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONSIGN YOUR ITEM(S) OF JEWELRY TO US?

We have the capability to add about 200 items to our site every month. If we accept your item of jewelry to sell on our site, it's not just because we like you, although we might, it's not just because we like your jewelry although we might, it's because we think we can sell your jewelry on our site quickly because it is competitively priced AND we like it.

Please understand that making a page to sell an item of jewelry is a very expensive undertaking that COSTS US $575 PER ITEM. This includes repairing, polishing, plating, ultrasonic-ing, steaming, weighing, researching, measuring, metal-testing, diamond-grading, colored stone identifying, appraisal-writing, description-writing, editing, photographing, releasing on Priority Viewing, advertising, selling, charging, shipping, tracking and customer servicing !

Every item of jewelry that is accepted by us will be taken through a 25 step process lasting a minimum of 30 days before it is added to our web-site. This includes thorough cleaning and repair of your jewelry and the replacement of minor stones. Larger repair charges such as stone polishing, resetting, metal-polishing and soldering will be added to your bill. Items needing repair, polishing or rhodium-plating will take an additional 3 weeks to add to our site.

Each item will be evaluated for age, weighed, measured, have all colored stone gauged and weights estimated and identified in addition to having all the diamonds identified for color, cut and clarity by one of our gemologists. Your jewelry will be digitally photographed by one of our professional photographers in our customized studio with state of the art equipment and described using all the information that has been calculated, researched and appraised for resale. And last but not least but definitely the most important and without doubt the most expensive, internet advertising.

From this, a page will be made for your exclusive item of jewelry.

This page will be released to 10,000 potential antique jewelry buyers for an exclusive 48 hour Priority Viewing to enable them to make speedy decisions about the items they wish to purchase.

When your item of jewelry is sold, our fee will be deducted from the selling price. A check will be issued within 30 days unless the item is sold on layaway, in which case please extend the payment term by an additional 60 days.
