Beautiful and often rare, Estate and antique jewelryprovides one of the greatest values in jewelry today.
Often with gold content far beyond what couldbe included at today’s inflated gold prices, estate
jewelry rings, necklaces and other fine piecesare a great buy... and a one-of-a-kind find!
If you are in the market to sell a piece of fine gold, silver or diamond jewelry, we will offer thehighest price... because we won’t melt down your jewelry for scrap. We’ll place it in ourEstate Jewelry case to excite and please one of our customers with a newfound “treasure”.
If your gold, silver or diamond jewelry is broken or not of Estate quality, bring it in anyway.We will still offer you the highest spot price because we want your business and becausewe buy more, we can take a lower percent profit on the volume of gold and diamonds we buy.
Whether you are in the market to buy or sell Estate or Antique Jewelry, come to BattleCreek’s jeweler, PREMIERDIAMOND!
