Gold & Estate Buying
Govberg Jewelers has been purchasing fine jewelry and timepieces from private collections for generations, and recognizes that the process can be both exciting, and at times, quite emotional. Our experienced staff is on hand to evaluate your pieces, and we will offer you the highest possible return for your items, while maintaining the strictest standards of confidentiality and expert counsel. We regularly purchase a wide range of items from private collections, from significant diamond heirlooms, to timepieces (working or not), unique coins and unwanted gold, and we are prepared to answer any questions you may have regarding the process.
Over generations, we have developed a deep understanding of the pre-owned watch market, and are actively looking to buy select styles from a number of fine watch brands. In particular, Govberg Jewelers seeks Cartier, Patek Philippe and Rolex timepieces; however, we will certainly consider purchasing any timepiece you are looking to sell.
Govberg Jewelers does not charge clients for the Estate Buying evaluation process; and upon presentation of an offer to buy your watch, jewelry, or unwanted gold, you are under no obligation to sell to us. To schedule an appointment or discuss the Estate Buying process in more detail, please contact a qualified Govberg Jewelers associate.
Appraisals
Govberg Jewelers offers comprehensive appraisal services for your fine jewelry, gemstones and timepieces. Upon your request, Govberg Jewelers will provide you with a complimentary insurance appraisal for any new item purchased in our store. If you are interested in having a piece that was originally purchased elsewhere appraised, we work with a highly skilled and professionally certified jewelry and gem expert, David Atlas, and can arrange to have your jewelry appraised at your convenience. David has combined his real world experience with education from the Gemological Institute of America, the International Association of Appraisers, the American Society of Appraisers, and the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers to offer appraisal services, advice, consultation, expert testimony and mediation in the areas of precious metal, jewelry, diamonds and colored gems.
