Sell Your Unwanted Jewelry

Empire Diamond Corp. has been in the jewelry trade for over 75 years and holds one of the finest reputations in the jewelry business. Specializing in signed and unsigned Estate Jewelry (anything previously owned), diamonds, and watches, Empire Diamond always has a huge demand for fine diamonds and jewelry. Empire is paying the highest prices for fine diamonds and jewelry in its history. The buying staff, which includes former diamond graders and instructors from the the Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.) and has more than 100 years of combined experience, is uniquely qualified to represent you in the sale of your jewelry. Our worldwide resources allow us to provide our customers with the opportunity to sell their own jewelry and watches with the guidance of the premier experts in the industry. 

Whether you are buying or selling jewelry, it is important to have the guidance of an expert. All jewelry possesses certain qualities that are measurable and quantifiable by specific formulas. The buying staff at Empire Diamond are experts at ascertaining not only the intrinsic value of jewelry, but the aesthetic and market values as well.

BUYING

Diamonds, for example, should be graded by G.I.A. (Gemological Institute of America) standards, and should be judged only by an expert qualified to follow these standards. The staff at Empire Diamond are all experienced enough to select the best diamonds for their given grades. This is a very important advantage in selecting the finest diamond for your given budget.

Colored stones, such as sapphires, rubies, and emeralds should be checked for color, origin, clarity, and enhancements. Buying them from a reputable source is extremely important.

The beauty of your fine jewelry is critical to its worth. But, often, only a specialist in your particular type of jewelry can fully appreciate how its aesthetics might affect market value.

Was it designed and signed by a known craftsman or artist (Cartier, Tiffany, Harry Winston, etc.)? While most signed jewelry carries a premium, sometimes the best values are found in finely crafted unsigned pieces. Empire has been buying for over 75 years  and supplies many fine stores throughout the world. You may take advantage of their expertise and experience to find opportunities to buy beautiful pieces at wholesale prices. Since we all know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, be sure the eye of your beholder is an educated one, that is familiar with the market conditions and is experienced enough to get the best price for you.

SELLING

Almost everyone has jewelry that just sits in a vault and is hardly worn at all. If so, it is almost certainly a wise decision to sell it and use the money for something worthwhile. The question is: Who can I trust to handle the sale of my jewelry? For savvy people in the New York tri-state area, Empire Diamond has been the answer for over 75 years! If you are unable to come to our offices in the Empire State Building for a free consultation, arrangements can be made to ship the jewelry via Registered Insured Mail. Upon receipt, you will get a free consultation by phone from one of our buyers. We understand that your jewelry cannot be trusted to just anyone and we take great pride in our reputation over all these years.
