Sell gold and estate jewelry in San Diego County

San Diego County has jewelry boxes in every kind of home: a retired Navy family's keepsakes, a beach cottage estate, a condo in La Jolla where a parent's things are being sorted. Much of it is mixed, with real gold, silver, plated pieces and costume jewelry together.

DeKlutterNow is based in Oceanside and visits San Diego, La Jolla, Chula Vista and El Cajon. Text a photo of the stamps and the whole box and we tell you what looks like a fit before anyone drives out.

Short answer: text photos of your jewelry to (858) 247-2017. If it looks like a fit, we come to you in San Diego County, look at everything in person, and pay cash before leaving.

Common jewelry situations around San Diego

  • A jewelry box from an estate with broken chains, single earrings and a few signed pieces
  • A drawer of old class rings, wedding sets and charm bracelets
  • Sterling flatware and silver trays that came with a house
  • A mix of jewelry, coins and watches from a family member

What to text us for jewelry

  • A photo of the whole box or tray, then close ups of stamps such as 10K, 14K, 18K or 925
  • Photos of any signed designer pieces with their boxes or papers
  • A note on what is broken, and whether anything is meant to stay in the family

What affects the value of jewelry

  • Metal type and purity marks such as 10K, 14K, 18K, 925, or sterling
  • Weight of the precious metal
  • Designer or signed pieces and makers marks
  • Gemstones and their condition
  • Age and collectible value of estate and vintage pieces

Plated pieces and most costume jewelry are not a fit. Unmarked items need to be tested before anyone can say what they are.

We do not quote prices from a single photo. Final offers come after we look at the items in person.
