A different way to sell your jewelry
With consignment, we offer your jewelry for sale on your behalf under an agreed arrangement. Payment follows a completed sale and the terms of your agreement. It is different from accepting an offer to sell your jewelry directly to us.
Visit our showroom at 2801 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, to discuss your piece, a possible asking price and the amount you would receive after fees. We can review designer jewelry from Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels and other makers, along with diamond and estate pieces. Acceptance depends on the item.
If you prefer to discuss an outright offer, see our jewelry buying service.
Book a Consignment ConsultationWhat to discuss at your consultation
01
The jewelry itself
Bring the piece and tell us what you know about its history. Design, materials, condition and demand help us assess whether consignment is a suitable option.
02
Pricing and your proceeds
Review the proposed asking price, commission and any other charges. Make sure you understand what you would receive if the piece sells.
03
The listing period
Discuss how long the piece will be offered for sale, how price changes are handled and what happens if it does not sell.
04
Care and communication
Ask about storage, insurance coverage and how to request updates. Confirm these details before leaving your jewelry with us.
How jewelry consignment works
Bring your jewelry for a review
Book a consultation and bring any receipts, gemstone reports, original packaging or previous appraisals you have. Our team will examine the piece and discuss its potential market.
Review the agreement
Confirm the asking price, your expected proceeds, commission, other charges and listing period. The agreement should also explain price changes, care of the piece and withdrawal terms.
Offer the piece for sale
Once the arrangement is agreed, we prepare the jewelry for presentation to prospective buyers. Ask how your particular piece will be photographed and offered for sale.
Review progress together
If the jewelry has not sold, discuss whether to continue, adjust the asking price or arrange its return under the agreed terms. A sale date cannot be guaranteed.
Confirm payment after the sale
Payment timing depends on completion of the sale, cleared funds and any applicable buyer return period. Confirm the method, timing and final amount in your agreement.
What affects a jewelry consignment price
The asking price and the amount you receive are different. Discuss both before deciding.
Materials and craftsmanship
Metal, gemstones, design and workmanship all contribute to an evaluation. Bring gemstone reports or maker information if available.
Condition and repair history
Wear, previous repairs, alterations and missing stones can affect buyer interest. Discuss any proposed work and its cost before authorizing a repair.
Brand and supporting records
Maker marks, receipts, original boxes and service records can help identify a piece and explain its history. Their effect on value varies by item.
Demand and comparable pieces
Current buyer interest and comparable jewelry help inform an asking price. Rarity or age alone does not guarantee a premium, and an insurance appraisal is not a resale offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does jewelry consignment take?
There is no guaranteed sale date. Timing depends on the piece, asking price and buyer interest. Confirm the listing period, review dates and options for unsold jewelry before signing.
What commission or fees will I pay?
Ask for the commission and any other charges in writing, along with an example of your proceeds at the proposed selling price. Confirm whether any costs apply if the jewelry does not sell or you request its return.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Bring your jewelry, identification and any receipts, original boxes, gemstone reports or previous appraisals you have. If records are missing, tell our team when you book so we can explain what is needed.
How is my jewelry cared for during consignment?
Before leaving a piece, ask our team to explain its storage, handling and insurance arrangements, including coverage limits and exclusions. Keep a copy of the agreed terms and the record of items you leave with us.
What jewelry can I consign?
We can review diamond jewelry, designer pieces and estate jewelry, including rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Acceptance depends on the item, its condition and the market for it. Contact us to discuss your piece.
Can I take my jewelry back if it has not sold?
Review the withdrawal and return terms before signing. Confirm any notice period, charges and arrangements for collection. Once the piece is on consignment, contact our team to discuss a return under your agreement.
Is consignment better than selling outright?
The right option depends on your priorities and the offers available for your piece. Consignment means waiting for a buyer and accounting for fees. An outright sale can provide a more immediate decision on an offer. Compare the amount you would receive and the timing; consignment does not guarantee a higher return.
