What do I do if I would like to sell my jewelry?

Contact us either via email or phone and let us know what you have. If you live in the area, you can drop in without an appointment and we can look at your pieces. If you live out of the area, the best would be to take photos and send us an email. Or call us and we can go from there.

Do I need to have professional photos?

No! Put the jewelry on a plain background, turn off the flash, and snap a few photos with your phone or camera. Try to keep it in focus and don’t worry about getting every detail. We are looking to get a rough idea of what you have, the size of the piece and the design. We can tell pretty quickly whether it is something that could be resold, or if it would be something valued for its materials alone.

What about old appraisals and certificates? Are they helpful?

For diamonds and gemstones, if you have a certificate from a laboratory (such as GIA), please include that documentation with the jewelry. Some labs are better than others, but having that information is very helpful.

If you have an appraisal, we can look at that as well, but it is not necessary for us to have that information to make a decision. Most appraisals are for retail replacement values, and we are basing our valuations on different criteria. Also appraisal valuations are for insurance purposes and are not that helpful when selling the piece.

Do I need to clean or repair my items?

No, you do not need to clean or repair your items. We can evaluate them as they are.

Am I obligated to sell to you if I get an offer?

No you are under no obligation to sell your jewelry to us. You are free to take your time and make up your mind. If our offer is time sensitive due to day to day changes in market values, we will let you know.

Do you charge a fee for evaluating my jewelry?

No we do not charge a fee for making an offer on your jewelry.

If I am ready to sell, how would I get paid?

If you accept our offer to buy your pieces, we would pay you immediately. If you still have unanswered questions about selling your jewelry, please contact us at LaJollaGems@gmail.com or call us at 858-459-1716  and we would be happy to answer your questions and walk you through the process.

Thank you and hopefully we will speak soon!
