Selling jewelry near San Diego Jewelers Exchange
Compare your options with San Diego Jewelry Buyers at 907 6th Ave. You work one-on-one with our specialists for an explained offer, with no pressure or obligation to sell.
A separate business. A personal evaluation.
San Diego Jewelers Exchange is the jewelry-vendor building at 861 Sixth Avenue. SDJB is an independent, family-owned business at 907 6th Ave, at Sixth & E. Bring a diamond ring, designer piece or inherited jewelry and ask us to walk you through its value. Our verbal appraisals for purchase and/or loans are free, with no obligation or pressure to sell.
Understand the piece, not just its metal weight.
A maker’s signature, desirable design, original craftsmanship, condition and stones can all matter. Our GIA-qualified specialists and experienced team consider the complete piece and its resale market before explaining an offer. Our established buyer connections help us evaluate demand for finished jewelry, rather than automatically treating it as scrap.
Tell us what you have.
Start with your contact details. Add information about the piece afterward if you like.
What diamond and estate jewelry testing tells you
Microscopes help us examine construction, stone features and condition. Diamond-screening instruments help distinguish stones needing further examination; XRF can assess metal composition without scratching the tested surface. We choose the appropriate testing equipment for your item and explain what the findings mean. Mounted stones can limit what is observable, so we discuss any further work before proceeding.
Compare the evaluation and the net offer.
Ask whether the offer considers the jewelry intact, how its stones are valued and whether any deductions or conditions apply. Compare the amount you would receive for the same items in the same condition. Bring any grading report, original box, receipts or family history you already have; none is required to begin an inquiry. A signature is a useful clue, not complete proof of authenticity.
Leave with an offer and more understanding.
Show us the piece and tell us your priorities. We explain the relevant metal, stones, markings, condition and market factors while you ask questions. Whether or not you sell, you leave knowing more about your item. See our buying process and directions and reserved customer parking.
Selling, borrowing or a written appraisal?
A purchase offer is what a buyer offers to pay. A collateral loan lets you borrow against an accepted item under a separate written agreement. A written insurance appraisal documents an opinion of value for a specified purpose; it is not a purchase offer. Tell us which service you need. You can also explore our jewelry buying and diamond buying services.

Is SDJB inside San Diego Jewelers Exchange?
No. The Exchange is at 861 Sixth Avenue; San Diego Jewelry Buyers is a separate business at 907 Sixth Avenue in downtown San Diego, at Sixth and E. Use our current directions when planning your visit.
Do I need a diamond grading report before contacting you?
No report is required to begin an inquiry. Bring one if you have it, along with any other useful paperwork. The item still needs examination, and mounted stones may require additional review.
Can a designer piece be worth more than its metal content?
It can. Maker, design, construction, condition and resale demand may contribute value. Not every signature or vintage piece receives a premium, so we evaluate the actual item rather than assume one.
Can I compare an offer without committing to sell?
Yes. We offer free verbal appraisals for purchase and/or loans with no obligation or pressure to sell. Ask what the offer includes and compare the net amount for the same items.
What if I want to keep my jewelry?
Ask about eligible collateral-loan options. Acceptance and loan terms depend on the item and the written agreement; a website inquiry is not automatic approval.
