What should I know before I mail my diamonds and jewelry?
You should feel 100% comfortable with the shipping process before you ship us your items. Methods of shipping like FedEx, UPS or USPS offer tracking numbers and insurance for high value items and we will be happy to help you determine an insurance value before you ship. We have many tips to offer you to ensure that your package is shipped in a safe and secure way and encourage you to call us before you ship anything. It is a rarity to have a package misplaced through any shipping method when it is insured and traceable and that is why we recommend these methods.

Once you accept our offer we will overnight you a check and you should receive the next business day. In special circumstances, a bank wire transfer may be available.
Can you give me an exact price before I mail my diamonds and jewelry?
Before you mail your item(s) we will be able to provide a pre-sale estimate based upon the information you provide us with. That is why we ask for as much information as possible as this is the closest way we can get to an exact price before we view an item.

We do offer written appraisals for insurance or estate purposes for a fee, however when we evaluate your item for purchase there is no charge.
May I speak with an appraiser first?
