We Start With Photos – Here’s How to Begin


Not every jewelry item has resale value. While some vintage and antique pieces are highly sought after, others may be more sentimental than marketable. To make sure we are a good fit, we ask potential clients to send clear pictures of their items before scheduling a consultation.

Please include photographs of the front and back of each piece. Be sure to include close-up pictures of any signatures, stamps, maker’s marks, or unusual details. You may also send group photographs if you have a larger collection.



How to Sell Jewelry in Brea – Our Process


Step 1: Send Photos – Text clear front and back images of your jewelry to (657) 333-2005.

Step 2: Photo Review – We’ll review your pictures and respond if we believe your items fit our current buying interests.

Step 3: Book Your Appointment – All evaluations are by appointment only. We’ll work with you to arrange a convenient meeting time.

Step 4: Receive a Cash Offer – After an in-person review, we’ll make an offer for the pieces we are interested in purchasing. If you accept, payment is made in cash.



Selling Inherited or Estate Jewelry in Brea?


Inheriting a collection of jewelry can feel overwhelming, especially when you are unfamiliar with the pieces or unsure which items may have value. We provide patient, professional guidance and help you sort through vintage, costume, antique, gold, silver, and estate jewelry without pressure.

You are not required to sell the entire collection. We can explain which pieces fit our buying interests so you can decide what you would like to keep and what you may be ready to sell. Our goal is to make the process easier while giving you the time and information needed to make a comfortable decision.

We commonly work with Brea clients who are handling inherited jewelry, preparing for an estate sale, helping a family member downsize, or organizing items that have been stored for many years. Collections may include a mixture of valuable pieces, costume jewelry, signed designer jewelry, broken items, and pieces with sentimental importance.



Private Jewelry Buyer Appointments for Brea Clients


Jewelry Trader of Vintage Costume is not a walk-in jewelry store. All evaluations are conducted privately and by appointment only. Starting with photographs allows us to review your items before meeting and helps avoid unnecessary travel when a collection is outside our buying interests.

To begin, text clear photographs of your jewelry to (657) 333-2005. Please include your name, mention that you are located in Brea, and provide close-up photographs of any visible marks or signatures. After reviewing the pictures, we’ll contact you regarding the next step.
