Consign Your Jewelry 

Welcome to Good Old Gold’s “Consign Your Diamond & Jewelry” service! Here’s how it works.

You have a diamond or jewelry item valued over $1,000 that you would like us to sell for you. You fill out the form at the bottom of this page so we can give an approximate estimate what you’d be able to get for your item. If you are happy with our estimate, the next step is a live evaluation. You can either ship it to us or bring it into our showroom. Once your diamond and/or jewelry arrives in our lab we will analyze it to determine what the actual fair market value is and what you will be able to get in a reasonable amount of time. If we determine that your jewelry needs any refurbishing in order to sell, such as polishing or plating, you will be responsible for the charges.   

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: How do you determine a fair retail price for my item?
   A: There are many factors we consider when determining a fair price for your items. After we complete our analysis of your item, we look at the market and find similar items (“comparisons”) and see what they are selling for and what type of service that company is offering.

   A: Yes, we will agree on the price and the amount you will receive before we list the item for sale.

7. Q: How long does it take to sell my item?
   A: The time frame varies from item to item but there will always be pieces that take longer or do not sell because of style, desirability, or price. There will also be pieces that sell within a week of listing them.

9. Q: After the sale, how long will it take for me to get paid?
   A: After the sale is complete and the customer takes delivery of the item, they have 10 days to return it. After the 10-day period expires and the item is not returned, we will issue a check to you.

10. Q: What if I want my items back?
    A: If you would like your diamond returned back to you within one year, there is a $250 fee. After a year that amount becomes $125. The fee for other jewelry is $100, regardless of when you decide to take it back. This fee is only applied if you take your item off of consignment and does not apply if the item is sold. Return shipping and any resetting fee, if applicable, would also be additional to the fees listed above.

11. Q: Are my items insured while in your possession?
    A: Yes, consignment items are covered for theft or loss through our Jewelers Mutual insurance policy. If anything happens to your piece, you are covered for the replacement value.
