Bring Whatever You Have. I'll Tell You Exactly What It Is.
I'm Chris. I've spent 15+ years appraising estate jewelry across Southwest Florida. Bring your gold, silver, diamonds, watches, coins, or a whole collection — I'll tell you what each piece is, with no obligation to sell any of it.
Call me, stop by the showroom, or I'll come to your home. Whole collections welcome — I sort and test everything for you.
You don't need to sort anything first. Bring the whole box, the whole drawer, the whole estate. I separate what is gold and silver from what isn't, then tell you exactly what each piece is:
And if something turns up that isn't on that list, I'll identify that too — a box rarely arrives without at least one surprise in it.
And if you're not sure what to keep and what to sell, I'll price pieces individually so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.
Calls answered 9 AM – 6 PM, every day

No photos or forms needed. Bring a single ring or a whole estate — I sort, test and weigh everything in front of you and explain every number.
Walk in during showroom hours — no appointment needed. Bring the whole box or drawer; you don't have to sort anything first. If you decide to sell, bring a government photo ID — Florida requires it when we buy precious metals. For larger collections that take more time, we recommend calling ahead to book an appointment.
Mon–Sat 10am–4pm
For whole collections, estates, or pieces you'd rather not carry — I bring the testing kit and a calibrated scale and sort and test everything at your kitchen table.
Need a written appraisal for insurance or probate? That is a different service — we will tell you so honestly and point you to a certified independent appraiser.
No need to sort it first. Single pieces or whole unsorted collections — we'll appraise everything and give you one honest number.
Simple, fast, and completely free. You're never obligated to sell anything.
Call or text (239) 404-8505, walk into the showroom during open hours, or ask for a home visit.
At our counter or your kitchen table. We test, weigh, and explain how we arrive at each number — using live gold pricing, nothing hidden.
Know exactly what your items are worth. If you want to sell, we make a same-day offer — cash, check, or wire. If not, no problem at all.
Nothing gets lumped into one pile. This is exactly what I do, in order, while you watch — at our counter or your kitchen table.
Before anything else I separate what is genuinely gold or silver from what isn’t. A lot of what comes in is plated, gold-filled, vermeil or simply costume — and that is completely normal, it happens with nearly every box. I use a magnet, a touchstone and acid testing to know for certain, and I tell you straight what each piece is.
Gold gets separated by karat, lowest to highest: 9k (common in older British pieces), 10k, 14k, 18k, 22k and up. Silver splits into sterling .925, European 800 and 900, and coin silver. Platinum and palladium get their own group when they turn up. Each group is weighed on its own, because each purity is worth a different amount per gram — weighing them together would quietly cost you money on the better pieces.
Every group goes on a calibrated scale in front of you. I apply that day’s live spot price to the purity of each pile and show you the arithmetic. No numbers pulled out of the air — you see the weight, the purity, and the math.
Plenty of people arrive not knowing what they want to sell and what they want to hold on to. When that’s the case I price pieces individually and give you a number for each one, so you can separate what’s sentimental from what you’d rather turn into cash. Keep everything, sell one thing, or sell the lot — it’s your call and it changes nothing on my end.
At the end of it you’ll know exactly what you have, even if you sell none of it. That part is always free.
The appraisal is genuinely free and carries zero obligation to sell.
Gold and silver are valued against real-time spot prices, shown openly.
At the showroom or in your home. Your items and information stay confidential.
No call centers, no middlemen. With 15+ years appraising estate jewelry across Southwest Florida, Chris personally reviews every piece and explains exactly how he reaches each number — so you can make an informed decision with zero pressure.
Tell us what you have and the best time to reach you — we'll call you back. Photos are optional, and they give us a first look before you come in.
It only takes a phone call — or stop by the showroom. There's never any pressure to sell.
