Our open to consign period is between January 15th and November 15. After that we only focus on selling what we have on hand through the holiday season.

Consignment evaluations are handled directly by Barb, our estate specialist.

Please call or email her for an appointment.

If you decide to sell your item immediately, we can offer you its scrap value by breaking it down into its basic raw components such as metal and gems. However, this option will result in the lowest payout as it does not consider the design, assembly time, and craftsmanship that went into creating the piece, which typically represents a significant portion of its retail value. Please note that we can only provide payment based on the scrap value of the metal and gems used in the item.

The advantage of consignment is that it will receive a much higher overall price.

​

However, it's important to keep in mind that with consignment sales, you won't receive payment until your item sells. This can take some time, depending on market demand and the uniqueness of your piece. Nonetheless, we work diligently to promote your jewelry and attract potential buyers to our store. Our team can also provide you with regular updates on the status of your items and answer any questions you may have throughout the consignment process.

​

You will receive payment for the pre-arranged price 30 days after the item sells, to accommodate our return policy.

​

Once you express interest in the consignment process, we will schedule an appointment for you with our Vintage and Estate specialist. During this appointment, we will assist you in determining the value of the item(s) you wish to sell and advise you on whether consignment is the right option for you.

We will also work with you to establish a selling price that aligns with your desired return and our store's profit margin. It is important to note that items sold on consignment typically sell for around 40% below their original retail value in order to attract potential buyers. This pricing strategy ensures that the item is priced competitively and is more likely to sell quickly.
