Buyers of NYC considers precious metals, coins and bullion, diamonds, fine gemstones, fine and estate jewelry, signed designer pieces, and luxury watches for direct outright purchase.
Our Manhattan evaluations are conducted in person with full transparency, verified legal weights, and zero obligation to sell. Appointments preferred; walk-ins welcome during business hours.
Buyers of NYC considers precious metals, bullion, diamonds, fine gemstones, signed estate jewelry, and Swiss watches for direct outright purchase. An item does not need to be new, complete, or accompanied by original receipts to be evaluated.
You remain the complete owner throughout the evaluation. Accept or decline our immediate purchase offer with zero obligation.
All precious metals are weighed directly in front of you on state-certified, legal-for-trade digital scales.
We evaluate signed designer premiums, caliber rarity, and gemological quality beyond basic scrap melt value.
Accepted offers settle immediately in Manhattan via bank wire transfer, company check, or cash on the spot.
A broad valuables service cannot reduce every item to one formula. Our specialist team identifies the specific category and determines value through verified material metrics, non-destructive testing, and secondary market benchmarks:
Metal value involves verified fine weight, tested karat purity (10K–24K, 900/950 platinum, 925/999 silver), non-destructive XRF spectrometry, and live spot bullion benchmarks. Designer, gemstone, antique, coin, or complete-piece value is screened before an item is treated merely as scrap. Non-gold weight is deducted transparently.
Bullion value depends strictly on fine precious metal content, fineness, weight, authenticity, and live market benchmarks. Sovereign coins also possess numismatic value based on strike year, mint mark, mintage rarity, PCGS/NGC certification grade, strike sharpness, and secondary collector demand.
A diamond review considers natural vs. lab-grown origin, carat weight, color grade, clarity under 10× magnification, cut proportions, fluorescence, treatments, and accredited laboratory reports (GIA, IGI). Colored gemstones undergo optical analysis for species, geographic origin (Burma, Ceylon, Colombia), unheated status, and clarity.
Jewelry contains multiple value components: intrinsic metal, mounted diamonds, gemstones, pearls, maker signatures (Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels), design period (Art Deco, Victorian, Retro), craftsmanship, condition, and intact completeness as a finished piece.
Timepiece value depends on manufacturer prestige (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet), reference number, serial era, caliber condition, dial configuration, bracelet stretch, case finish, and original presentation box, guarantee papers, and service records.
For inherited estate lots or multi-category holdings, every item is itemized and separated into its optimal liquidation channel. Multi-item submissions receive dedicated private evaluation time and itemized breakdown reporting.
Follow these clear preparation guidelines to streamline your in-person evaluation, protect personal privacy, and preserve maximum collectible value:
Bring these items in person to ensure an accurate evaluation and protect completeness premiums:
Bring matching earrings, watch links, clasps, bezels, and coin capsules in their current state.
Manufacturer guarantee cards, presentation cases, and original store purchase receipts add collector provenance.
GIA, IGI, AGS diamond dossiers, watch service invoices, and certified numismatic coin slabs.
Valid driver’s license, passport, or state ID required to comply with NYC DCWP Secondhand Dealer regulations.
Never polish vintage gold or clean antique coins before evaluation; original patina preserves value.
Protect your personal security and privacy by keeping sensitive documents offline:
Never upload photos of driver’s licenses, passports, or social security cards to web forms.
Do not attach wills, trust agreements, divorce decrees, or letters of testamentary online.
Bank account numbers and wire routing instructions are handled strictly in person during payout.
Never mail physical jewelry or bullion without an authorized, insured evaluation protocol in place.
Protect your residence security; only city/zip code is needed for preliminary consultation.
Comparing two purchase offers requires looking beyond a single headline number. Ask these 6 essential questions to clarify true net payout and counterparty security:
Are both buyers evaluating the exact same items, loose components, grading reports, and total fine metal weight?
Is the offer accounting for signed brand premium, craftsmanship, and mounted gemstones, or only scrap melt value?
Are there appraisal charges, assay deductions, melting fees, return shipping risks, or platform consignment commissions?
Will you receive cleared funds immediately via bank wire, company check, or cash without holding periods or escrow delays?
Is the offer tied transparently to current live spot and secondary wholesale benchmarks with clear validity terms?
Will you receive an official, itemized bill of sale documenting the transaction in full compliance with NYC secondhand laws?
Our evaluation protocol is conducted in-person at our Manhattan Diamond District office with complete transparency, verified weights, and zero obligation to sell.
Share details about your piece and any available reports, receipts, appraisals, or brand packaging online or by phone.
