Before You Contact a Fine Jewelry & Gems Specialist

  • Confirm the specialist has in-house gemological expertise โ€” GIA-trained gemologists can significantly improve descriptions.
  • Ask whether they recommend laboratory certification and who covers that cost (seller or house).
  • Request their reserve price policy: can you set a minimum price, and what happens if it doesn't sell?
  • Check if the house has access to international buyers โ€” jewelry often achieves better results with cross-border competition.
  • Understand the payment timeline: after the hammer falls, most houses pay out 30โ€“45 days after sale.
