Bring us your jewelry, and we'll evaluate it fairly:
Our evaluations are fair and transparent. Here's how we determine value:
Diamonds: We grade using the 4Cs (Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity) and cross-reference current market prices. GIA certificates increase value.
Precious Metals: We weigh and test your gold, platinum, and silver, then apply current spot market prices (updated daily).
Gemstones: Rubies, sapphires, and emeralds are valued based on color, clarity, origin, and current demand.
Designer Brands: Branded jewelry (Tiffany, Cartier, etc.) often has additional value. We consider brand, condition, and desirability.
Typical Trade-In Value: Expect 40-70% of original retail value, depending on condition and market demand. This is industry standard and reflects wear, current market conditions, and resale viability.
From Engagement to Upgrade
"After 10 years, my wife wanted to upgrade her engagement ring to something more modern. Houston Jewelry gave us a fair price on her original ring and we put that credit toward a beautiful new design. The process was seamless and we're so happy!"
— David M., Houston TX
Estate Jewelry Discovery
"I inherited my grandmother's jewelry box and wasn't sure what to do with pieces I wouldn't wear. Houston Jewelry appraised everything and I was amazed at the value. I used the credit to buy something I actually love wearing every day!"
— Michelle T., Houston TX
Life Changes
"I had expensive jewelry from a relationship that ended. Rather than store it away, I took it to Houston Jewelry. They gave me a fair evaluation and I put the credit toward new pieces that made me feel like myself again. Best decision ever!"
— Rachel D., Houston TX
Q: How much will I get for my jewelry?
A: Trade-in values typically range from 40-70% of original retail value, depending on condition, materials, and market demand. We'll provide a specific quote during your evaluation.
Q: Do you buy jewelry, or only accept trade-ins?
A: We accept both! If you prefer cash instead of store credit, we can discuss that option during your evaluation.
Q: How long is the evaluation quote valid?
A: Our quotes are valid for 30 days, giving you time to make a decision without pressure.
Q: Do I need to bring original documentation?
A: It helps! If you have certificates, receipts, or previous evaluations, bring them. We can evaluate without documentation too.
Q: Can I trade in jewelry from another jeweler?
A: Absolutely! We accept jewelry from any source. Brand doesn't matter to us—we appraise based on materials and condition.
Q: What if I change my mind after getting an evaluation?
A: No problem! You have 30 days to decide. If you don't want to trade, just keep your jewelry. There's zero obligation.
Q: Can I schedule an appointment?
A: Yes! Call us at 713-784-1000 to book an evaluation appointment. We also accept walk-ins.
Q: Do you appraise watches?
A: Yes! Luxury watches (Pre-Owned Pre-Owned Rolex, Omega, etc.) are evaluated for both materials and brand value.
