FAQ

We buy all types of fine jewelry - loose diamonds, engagement rings, wedding rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, pendants, watches, designer and antique items, as well as precious stones. We buy diamonds across the entire spectrum of size and value ranging from small, 1-carat diamonds to large, very costly diamonds. Whether you have inherited some fine jewelry or simply have items you no longer want, we are happy to look at it.

We can appraise your jewelry and provide you with a cash offer. This is the purchase price that we are willing to pay for your jewelry, based on our appraisal of its value.

Our expert appraisers take various factors into account when assessing your jewelry, such as its design, mineral and metal content, fashion and artistic value, age, uniqueness and condition. We also consider the jewelry’s maker, country of origin and whether the piece is signed or otherwise.

While retail value may factor into the offer we present you with, particularly for more contemporary pieces, pricing is primarily based on the composition, condition and desirability of the piece.

We use secure shipping services with insurance options. You can choose from FedEx DVX, which can insure up to $50,000, or use high-value shipping insurance companies, like G4S, for jewelry that is worth more than $50,000. If you want the ultimate in security, we offer our clients in major cities shipping via armored car companies like Brinks, Dunbar Armored and Malca-Amit. At Revere Jewels, we regularly ship items of extremely high value, oftentimes valuing several hundred thousand dollars. We also have a fully-stocked wholesale diamond inventory so we ship these highly valuable pieces on a regular basis.

Our corporate office is conveniently located at the corner of Rexford and Olympic in the heart of Beverly Hills, making it easily accessible to residents of Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Hollywood and Brentwood.

We do have appraisers that can visit your home, office or another mutually agreed upon location, such as a bank, hotel or office building, and appraise your jewelry, if the circumstances call for it. We have appraisers located all over the U.S.

If you don’t like our offer, we’ll simply ship your items back to you, overnight and free of charge. Once we have verified what you have for sale, we handle all the shipping costs, both to and from our office. Or if you'd visit our office, then you take your jewelry with you. There is no charge for the appraisal and you are under no obligation to us at all. The entire process is risk-free.

We assess each item on an individual basis, considering its structure, design, condition and overall value. In some instances, we may offer you an amount similar to the pieces appraisal value; however, oftentimes appraisal values are inflated. An appraisal value is the retail amount you would have to pay to replace the piece - it takes into account the profit margin of both the manufacturer and the retailer. As such, appraisal values are often much higher than the piece's actual value.

It can. Generally, any certificate by a major accredited lab will add value to your piece. However, over the years, many diamonds and fine jewelry pieces haven't been accredited. This lack of a certificate doesn't devalue the item however, and we'll assess your piece's value regardless. However, if you have a G.I.A.- or A.G.S.-certified diamond, we may make you a verbal upfront offer on it over the phone, without actually seeing the diamond in person.

We encourage our clients to get offers from other jewelry buyers for comparison purposes. We analyze each piece of jewelry individually and offer fair, high-value offers. All our offers are cash offers, meaning we'll pay you in cash immediately for your piece. Make sure any other offers that you'd get are also cash offers.

We pay our clients immediately. If you accept our offer on your jewelry, we'll tender payment to you immediately. If you accept our offer at our physical office, we'll write you a check on the spot, or we can easily arrange for a cashier's check if you prefer. If you are going to ship your fine jewelry to us, we can pay you via check or wire transfer once you accept our offer.

When you work with us, we usually beat auction houses that reserve bids and we pay much more quickly. In fact, we'll pay you immediately once you accept our offer.
