Bring one piece or the whole jewelry box to South Bay Coin in Lawndale. We buy gold, silver, platinum, signed jewelry, watches, coins and mixed jewelry in one visit, with each category sorted and explained in front of you.
South Bay Coin has been buying jewelry in Lawndale since 1980. If you are clearing out a jewelry box, selling a single piece, or handling an estate collection, you do not always know what belongs together or what is worth looking at separately. That is why we evaluate the pieces one by one before putting an offer together.
We buy many different types of jewelry, including gold, silver, platinum, signed and luxury pieces, watches, coins and jewelry with stones. Each piece is looked at for its metal, condition, markings and any details that could give it additional value.
Whether you are selling an old gold chain, a pair of earrings you no longer wear, a broken bracelet, a family jewelry collection or a signed piece, you can bring it all to one place. We explain what we are seeing and give you the information you need before you decide what to sell.
A jewelry box can hold a little bit of everything: a gold necklace, sterling silver earrings, a platinum ring, an older watch, a signed bracelet and a few pieces you are not even sure are real gold. Each one needs to be looked at differently.
Some buyers focus on one category. That can make sense when you have one very specific piece, but it can be frustrating when you are trying to sell an entire collection. You may end up visiting several buyers just to get through one jewelry box.
At South Bay Coin, you can bring the different pieces together. We sort through the jewelry, identify what we can buy, and look for pieces that may be worth more than their basic metal value. You can then decide which pieces, if any, you want to sell.
You do not need to separate your jewelry before you come in. Bring the pieces together, even if you are not sure what they are. We can sort a mixed collection into gold, silver, platinum, signed or luxury pieces, watches, coins, stones and items that do not have precious metal value.
We look at markings, karat or purity, condition, construction and anything else that may matter. A broken chain can still have value. An old ring may be worth more because of its maker. A mismatched earring or single piece may still be worth bringing in.
Once the pieces have been evaluated, you can choose what you want to sell. You do not have to sell everything you bring, and the evaluation is free with no obligation.
From everyday gold jewelry to signed pieces and estate collections, bring the jewelry you are ready to sell. We can look at individual pieces or sort through an entire collection with you.
Sell Gold Jewelry including chains, rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, charms, wedding bands and other gold jewelry from 10K through 24K. Worn, broken, tangled or outdated pieces are welcome.
Sell Silver and Sell Platinum, including sterling and 925 jewelry, silver necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings, plus platinum rings, bands and other platinum jewelry.
Sell Luxury Jewelry and signed pieces from houses such as Tiffany, Cartier, Bvlgari, Van Cleef & Arpels and David Yurman. We look at the maker, markings and overall piece, not just the metal.
Sell Luxury Watches or Sell Gold & Silver Coins in the same visit. We also look at pocket watches, loose stones, class rings, cufflinks, single earrings and other pieces from the jewelry box.
Bring one piece, a few pieces or the whole collection to 16916 Hawthorne Blvd. Nothing needs to be cleaned, polished or sorted first. You can also text photos to (310) 363-2697.
We sort the pieces, check the markings and materials, and point out anything that may have value beyond its metal. You can ask questions as we go.
We explain the offer so you can decide what to sell. You can accept everything, select certain pieces, or take your jewelry home. Bring a valid photo ID if you sell.
Selling jewelry is not always about one piece. If you have a mixed collection, the process should make it easy to understand what you have and what you are being offered for it.
