The Process

How selling to us actually works

No consignment, no waiting, no theatre. Four steps, most of them finished inside an hour.

01

Tell us what you have

Start with the two-minute online quote, call us, or simply walk in. The more you can tell us — brand, model, karat, carat weight, how many pieces — the tighter the number we can give you before you travel. Rough guesses are completely fine; nothing you say here is binding.

Free · No obligation · Usually answered within one business day
02

Expert evaluation, in front of you

At our office everything is tested, weighed and authenticated where you can watch. Gold is acid- and XRF-tested for purity and weighed on a certified scale. Diamonds are examined for cut, colour, clarity and carat. Watches are opened, checked against the reference, and assessed for originality of parts. We explain what we're seeing as we go.

About 20 minutes for most items
03

A clear, itemised offer

You get one number per item, not a lump sum you can't unpick, along with the live market rate we based it on. Because we refine in-house there's no middleman margin to cover, which is why our offers regularly beat pawn shops and consignment. Ask us anything — we'd rather you understand the number than just accept it.

04

Say yes and get paid

Accept and you're paid immediately — cash or secure bank transfer, your choice, the same day. No consignment, no waiting for us to find a buyer, no cheque in the post. Say no and you walk out with your items exactly as you brought them in, with no pressure and nothing owed.

Cash or same-day bank transfer

What we buy

If it's gold, platinum, silver, a diamond or a fine watch, we're interested.

Before you come in

Do I need an appointment?

No — walk-ins are welcome during opening hours. Booking just means we'll have an appraiser free the moment you arrive.

What do I need to bring?

The items, any boxes or certificates you still have, and government photo ID (required by New York law for precious-metal purchases).

Is the appraisal really free?

Yes, always, whether you sell or not. There is no fee, and no obligation of any kind.
