Frequently Asked Questions

Tap a category below — each card opens a dropdown list of questions and answers.

How do you value gold and diamonds?
We review weight, purity, stone quality, condition, brand, demand, and live market pricing. Diamonds are evaluated for cut, clarity, color, carat weight, and setting.
What types of gold do you buy?
10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, and 24K — rings, chains, bracelets, scrap, broken pieces, dental gold, and gold watches. We test purity in front of you.
Do you buy broken or single-earring jewelry?
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, bent rings, and scrap gold still have material value based on weight, purity, and any stones.
Do you buy sterling silver and flatware?
Yes — sterling jewelry, flatware sets, trays, and serving pieces. We also review silver plate and EPNS when value is present. Tarnish is fine.
Do you buy estate and vintage jewelry?
Yes. Signed pieces, antique settings, and inherited collections are reviewed daily. Receipts and certificates help but are not required.
Do you buy gold and silver coins?
Yes — American Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs, silver rounds, and other bullion. Numismatic coins are evaluated case by case.
Do you buy diamonds without a GIA certificate?
Yes. We evaluate cut, clarity, color, carat weight, and setting in-store. A GIA cert helps us move faster and can improve the offer.
Can I sell my engagement ring?
Yes. We buy engagement rings, wedding bands, and loose stones in quality settings. Appraisal is free with no obligation to sell.
Do you buy colored gemstones?
Yes — sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and other fine gems in quality settings. Loose stones and mounted pieces are both welcome.
Does the brand on the ring affect the offer?
Yes, when verified. Cartier, Tiffany, David Yurman, and similar signed pieces can carry brand value on top of metal and stone content.
What watch brands do you buy?
Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Tudor, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Panerai, IWC, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, vintage mechanicals, and select sport models.
Do box and papers matter for watches?
They can improve the offer but are not required. We verify serial numbers and inspect the movement in-store.
Do you buy non-working watches?
Often yes — depending on brand, model, and condition. Gold-case watches and repairable luxury pieces may still hold strong value.
Is the appraisal free?
Yes. Bring your piece in-store for a no-pressure evaluation and same-day offer. We only get paid when you sell and accept.
Do you buy used sneakers?
Yes. We buy both new and pre-owned sneakers depending on model, condition, size, market demand, and whether the original box is included.
Which sneaker brands do you buy most?
Jordan, Nike, Yeezy, SB Dunks, Off-White, Travis Scott releases, New Balance collabs, and other high-demand collaborations.
Does the original box matter?
It helps the offer — especially for deadstock and collabs. We still buy many pairs without the box after inspection.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Text clear photos to 917-608-8939 for an estimate before visiting. Final offers are confirmed in person.
Do you buy streetwear and vintage clothing?
Yes — Supreme, BAPE, Palace, Off-White, vintage band tees, workwear, and curated 90s/Y2K pieces in clean condition.
Do you buy Chrome Hearts and hype accessories?
Select Chrome Hearts, luxury streetwear accessories, and high-demand pieces are reviewed in-store. Text photos first if unsure.
What affects sneaker and streetwear value?
Condition, rarity, demand, authenticity, completeness, packaging, and current resale activity all impact the offer.
How do you authenticate designer bags?
We inspect construction, stitching, materials, hardware, serial numbers, date codes, stamps, packaging, and brand-specific details before making an offer.
Which designer brands do you buy?
Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Dior, Prada, Saint Laurent, Hermès, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Loewe, and other authenticated luxury labels.
Do dust bags and boxes matter?
Yes. Original packaging, receipts, tags, authenticity cards, and accessories can strengthen provenance and may improve the final offer.
Do you buy bags with wear?
Often, yes. Condition affects value, but many luxury bags with normal wear still qualify for a same-day cash offer.
Do you buy belts, wallets, and small leather goods?
Yes — designer belts, wallets, card holders, and SLG when authenticity checks out. Bring items in for a free review.
Do I need an appointment?
No — walk-ins are welcome during store hours. For a large estate, texting photos to 917-608-8939 ahead helps us set aside time.
What are your store hours?
Sunday–Thursday 12:30–6:30 · Friday 12:30–6 · Saturday closed. Text or call before a holiday trip if unsure.

How does selling work?

How are offers calculated?
Based on weight, metal purity, spot prices, diamond quality, condition, brand when verified, and current resale demand. Everything is explained before you decide.
When and how will I get paid?
Same-day payment when you accept. Most people choose cash. Checks are available at the counter for larger purchases.

Are you a licensed NYC buyer?
