From your drawer to your pocket.
We’ve helped thousands of Americans sell their jewelry and valuables, and the most common thing people tell us afterward is: ‘I wish I had done this sooner. It was so much easier than I expected.’ Here is the complete process, step by step.
Call 800-240-9606 and we’ll check our schedule for your area. Not there yet? We’ll notify you the moment we are.
You can also ask about our New York City office if you’d prefer a private appointment at any time — no need to wait for an event.
No Appointment Needed
Walk in during event hours. You’ll sit down one-on-one with a specialist in a relaxed, private setting — never a crowd or an auction.
You’re welcome to bring a family member, a close friend, or anyone whose opinion you trust — we encourage it. Many customers bring an adult child or a trusted neighbor for company and peace of mind.
Our specialist examines each piece in front of you, explaining karat, quality, and maker as they go — nothing leaves your sight.
You’ll learn more about your jewelry in 20 minutes than you might have in a lifetime. We look at each piece not just as metal, but as potential resale value too — if it could find a new owner at a premium, our offer will reflect that.
We walk through every number in plain language — no jargon, no rushing.
No obligation to accept.
Take our offer home, sleep on it, discuss it with your family, or get a second opinion. We’ll always be honest about what something is worth, and we’ll always encourage you to make the right decision for yourself.
Payment is immediate — a business check, right there at the event.
No waiting, no follow-up, no delays.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Do I have to sell if I come?
No. There is no obligation to sell. Our appraisals are completely free, and you are welcome to meet with us, learn what your items may be worth, and take your time deciding.
What should I bring?
Bring any items you’d like evaluated: gold jewelry, diamonds, watches, coins, silver, or estate pieces. Original certificates, appraisals, or receipts help but are never required. When in doubt, bring it in — a free look costs nothing.
How long does it take?
Most evaluations take 10 to 45 minutes depending on the number of items. We never rush.
Is there any cost?
None. Appraisals are completely free. There is no charge and no obligation regardless of whether you decide to sell.
What if I want to think about it?
There is no pressure to sell, no follow-up calls. Whenever you’re ready, so are we.
What our customers say.
Thousands of families across the country have sold with Blue Ribbon — many of them share their experience in their own words on Google and on our Customer Stories page.
Columbus, Ohio
“I had a box of my mother’s jewelry I’d been carrying around for years, not knowing what to do with it. When I heard Blue Ribbon was coming to our area, I finally brought it in. They were so patient and kind. They explained every piece, told me which ones had real collector value, and made me an offer I felt great about. I cried a little — in a good way. Fifty years of good memories, and now a check I can actually use.”
Tampa, Florida
“I drove 45 minutes to their hotel event and I would have driven twice as far. They knew exactly what my diamond ring was — they identified the cut, the era, the quality — and offered me three times what the local pawnshop had quoted me. Completely transparent, no pressure, and I walked out the door with a check.”
Phoenix, Arizona
“My father collected coins his whole life. I had no idea what any of them were worth. The specialist sat with me for almost an hour, showed me what each coin was, why some were more valuable than others, and made me feel educated, not taken advantage of. This is how every business should operate.”
Riverdale, New York
“I was nervous about the whole process — I’d never sold jewelry before and wasn’t sure who to trust. A friend recommended Blue Ribbon’s office on 48th Street. I brought my daughter with me just in case. We both left completely impressed. They were honest, thorough, and gave me a price I was genuinely happy with. No games, no pressure. I’ll tell everyone I know.”
Park Slope, Brooklyn
“I had an Art Deco brooch I’d inherited and everyone told me it was probably worth nothing. The specialist at Blue Ribbon identified it as a signed piece from the 1930s and offered me far more than I expected. They could have easily just melted it and I never would have known. That honesty is everything.”
