THE KATZ IMPORTS DIFFERENCE
Value beyond putting it on the scale.
Not everything should be melted.
The maker, gemstones, craftsmanship, condition and demand can make a piece worth more than its weight in gold or silver. We look at the whole piece before discussing your options.
YOUR VALUATION
A clear process. No pressure.
Tell us what you have.
One piece of jewelry, a set of sterling silver flatware or an entire box of inherited jewelry.
Let us take a look.
We evaluate the pieces and explain what we see, with a free verbal valuation.
Explore your options.
Sell, consign, restore, repurpose or keep it. We’ll discuss what makes sense.
You decide.
There’s no obligation to sell. Immediate payment is available if you choose to accept our offer.
WHAT WE BUY
What we buy.
Gold & Precious Metals
Gold jewelry, platinum and scrap gold. Broken pieces, any condition.
Sterling Silver
Complete or partial flatware sets, serving pieces, tea sets and decorative sterling. Bring everything as-is.
Diamonds
Loose diamonds, diamond rings and antique cuts. Bring any grading reports you have—no paperwork is okay, too.
Gemstones & Gemstone Jewelry
Loose colored gemstones and gemstone jewelry, with or without grading reports.
Estate & Signed Jewelry
Antique, vintage and signed jewelry. We evaluate the whole piece, including its maker, craftsmanship and gemstones.
Watches
Luxury watches, modern or vintage. Box and papers are helpful, but not required.
Coins, Bullion & U.S. Currency
Gold and silver coins, bullion bars and rounds, and collectible U.S. currency.
Not sure what you have? You have nothing to lose, bring it in.
GRANDMOM’S SILVER
We buy sterling flatware.
Grandmom’s silver still sitting in the closet? It may be worth more than you think.
Complete sets, partial sets, serving pieces, tea sets and other sterling silver are welcome. Bring everything as-is—you don’t need to polish or sort it first.
Unsure about a hallmark? We’ll identify the silver and check whether the set has value beyond its metal.
We handle the processing work.
INHERITED AN ESTATE?
Inherited jewelry & valuables.
INHERITED AN ESTATE? START HERE →
Jewelry, watches, sterling silver, coins, loose stones, broken pieces and items you can’t identify—we’ll help you understand what you have and discuss your options.
Don’t throw it away.
Something you overlook may have value.
Don’t clean it.
Original condition can matter. Bring everything as-is.
Don’t assume.
We’ll explain what the items are and what may make them valuable.
Selling an entire estate or working with multiple family members? Start with a conversation. Formal written appraisals are also available through Katz Imports.
DIAMONDS
We’re diamond people.
Loose or mounted, modern or antique—we evaluate the diamond itself, drawing on decades of diamond wholesale experience.
Bring any grading reports you have, but don’t worry if you have no paperwork. Leave mounted diamonds in their settings—we’ll take a look as-is.
OLD COINS & MONEY
Coins, bullion & currency.
An old jar of silver coins, bullion bars or collectible U.S. currency—bring what you have.
We check both precious-metal content and collector value. Older silver change may be worth considerably more than face value.
Don’t clean coins or alter notes. Keep any holders, grading reports and paperwork, and bring everything as-is.
ONE ITEM. MORE THAN ONE PATH.
Sell it. Consign it. Or keep it.
Every piece deserves the right approach. We’ll discuss whether selling outright, consigning or keeping it makes sense for you.
For rare, signed or exceptional pieces, auction may be another option. We can discuss potential placement through our auction-house relationships.
You decide how to proceed. There’s no pressure to sell.

Why Katz Imports?
Our family began buying precious metals at flea markets across the greater Delaware Valley in the mid-1970s, with relatives running several locations.
Those early days laid the foundation for Katz Imports and decades of experience in diamond wholesale and fine jewelry.
Today, Todd, Howard and Zack bring that experience to every valuation—looking beyond the scale to understand what makes your piece valuable.

And if you decide not to sell?
You still have a jeweler.
Whether you need a repair, want to redesign something meaningful, or are looking for a particular diamond or watch, start with Katz Imports.
Selling something is just one way our relationship can begin.
