Levy’s has almost a century of goodwill built on trust and respect, and we have all the resources and knowledge required to purchase any jewelry item. Our GIA trained staff contains members with a combined total of hundreds of years of experience in the jewelry industry.
In Store -
The easiest way to get an offer on a piece of jewelry is to physically bring it into the store. You will never need an appointment, and depending on the day of the week, any of our 5 veteran jewelry buyers will be available to sit down with you to examine your piece.
Our knowledgeable buyers will usually make you an offer within minutes, and our offer will hold for 14 days, if you would prefer to shop around. The customer will always come first, and we will encourage you to sell the piece elsewhere if we feel it is in your best interest.
Mail Us -
1. Request Insured Shipping: Contact us at Support@LevysFineJewelry.com with a brief description of what you are intending to sell, and we will promptly email you with a packing slip and arrangements for sending us the piece.
2. We ask that you allow our team of buyers approximately 48 hours upon receiving an item to determine a fair value for your piece.
3. Once our team has extended an offer, it is your decision as to whether you would like to accept or decline. Should you choose to accept the offer, payment will be made swiftly in the form of check or wire transfer. Should you choose to decline our offer, we will gladly ship back your piece, and allow you to send it back in within a 14 day period should you change your mind.
