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.
