Why South Austin Sellers Choose Trusted Buyers Over a Generic Jewelry Store
If you live around Zilker, Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, SoCo, South Lamar, Sunset Valley, Westgate, St. Elmo, or the Manchaca/Slaughter corridor, you’ve got plenty of options for selling jewelry. However, for valuable items, a general jewelry store or pawn counter may not always be the best place to maximize value. Specialists who specialize in jewelry in Austin deliver:
- Transparency: See purity tests for gold and silver, accurate weights, and how offers track the current market (spot pricing).
- Expertise: We identify period details on estate pieces, authenticate designer hallmarks (such as Cartier and Tiffany), and explain how 4Cs grading affects diamond and engagement ring pricing.
- Fair, written quotes: You’ll receive itemized cash values and options—sell now, trade, or consign.
- Personalized service: Private rooms, no-pressure conversations, and a smooth experience from start to finish.

What we buy in South Austin—and how we price it
Gold & precious metals
Bring gold jewelry (rings, chains, bracelets), mixed lots, unwanted gold, gold and silver flatware, and coins/silver coins. We test purity (10k–24k gold, sterling silver, platinum, palladium), weigh accurately, and connect the math to current market value. You’ll leave with a clear, written price you can compare. If a melt-only number isn’t right for your piece, we’ll say so—and explain why.
Diamonds, diamond earrings & engagement rings
South Austin offers a diverse range of styles, from classic solitaires to modern halos and vintage settings. Whether you’re selling loose diamonds, diamond earrings, or an engagement ring, we break down the stone versus the setting, review any GIA documents, and demonstrate how cut, color, clarity, and carat impact value. No GIA? We can still evaluate and provide an itemized cash quote.

Estate jewelry, antique pieces & designers
Inherited collections often mix eras, materials, and makers. We identify estate jewelry attributes, note originality, and authenticate designer signatures (e.g., Cartier, Tiffany). If a showcase could bring top dollar, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of consignment versus immediate purchase. The goal: ensure your valuables aren’t treated like scrap.

Luxury watches
From everyday wearers to investment-grade Rolex, the South Austin market is active. Box and papers help, but aren’t required. We explain how condition, originality, service history, and demand in Austin affect price, then make a written offer with same-day payment.
South Austin Tips to Get the Best Cash Offers
- Schedule an appointment over walk-ins: We welcome walk-ins when possible, but for faster transactions and more privacy, we recommend scheduling a private appointment.
→ Appraisal - Bring documents, such as GIA reports, watch papers, receipts, and prior appraisal notes, to provide buyers with proof and improve your numbers.
- Don’t over-clean: Gentle wipe only. Over-polishing antique finishes or aggressive chemical dips can reduce value.
- Compare fairly: Receive two cash offers within the same week, ensuring the market hasn’t moved. Keep quotes in writing to compare apples to apples.
- Consider trade or consignment: If you’re eyeing something new, trade credit may stretch your money. If a piece has a unique appeal, consignment can target collectors for a higher resale value.
Step-by-Step: How Our Process Works (stress-free and transparent)
Greet & clarify goals
Every client has a reason: decluttering, estate settlement, upgrade, or a gift that no longer fits their style. We create a plan—whether to sell, trade, or consign—based on your timeline and preferences.
In-view testing by expert appraisers
Metal testing, weighing, diamond assessment, and designer/period checks happen in plain sight. You’ll get a detailed explanation of how each factor affects price. We’re happy to take the time to answer every question; honesty and expertise matter.
Fair, written offer
You’ll receive an itemized quote grounded in current market references for metals and documented grading for stones. Keep it, accept, or note changes you’d like to consider—no pressure.
Same-day payment & paperwork
If you decide to sell, choose your preferred payment method (cash or secure transfer). We finalize the paperwork for a smooth experience and a clear record of the transaction.
Coming from Nearby? (Cedar Park, Round Rock, and beyond)
Many sellers drive in from Cedar Park and Round Rock to see specialists rather than a general counter. A short trip to a focused buyer in Austin, TX, often yields stronger, fairer offers and a better understanding of value—especially for estate pieces, diamonds, and high-end watches.

When Shipping Makes Sense (optional)
If you’re traveling or helping family from out of town, ask about shipping options for specific categories. We’ll outline what’s accepted, the insured carrier choices, and how remote appraisal, offer, and payment can work. Many clients still prefer in-person appointments because they like handing valuables to a person and hearing the rationale in person, but remote options can be a suitable fit for specific cases.
