The first step is finding out if and when Blue Ribbon Estate Buyers is coming to your area. Call us at 800-240-9606 and we’ll check our current schedule for your city or region. If we don’t have an event near you yet, we’ll add you to our notification list — you’ll be the first to know when we’re heading your way.
You can also ask about our New York City office if you’d prefer a private appointment at any time — no need to wait for an event.
Our buying events are held at event venues in your community. Simply walk in during event hours — no appointment is needed.
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our team and paired with a specialist who will sit down with you one on one. The atmosphere is relaxed and private — this is not a crowd or an auction. You’ll have our full attention.
Our specialist will examine your pieces right in front of you, explaining what they’re looking at and why it matters: the karat of your gold, the quality of your diamonds, the maker of your watch. You’ll learn more about your jewelry in 20 minutes than you might have in a lifetime.
We look at each piece not just as metal, but as potential resale value too. If your item could find a new owner who’d pay a premium for it, we’ll say so — and our offer will reflect that.
You will never be asked to leave your items unattended. Everything is evaluated with you present.
Once the evaluation is complete, we’ll present you with a clear offer and walk through it item by item. We’ll explain each number in plain language — no jargon, no rushing. If you have questions, ask them. We won’t move on until you’re fully comfortable.
There is no obligation to accept. Take our offer home, sleep on it, discuss it with your family, or get a second opinion. We’ll always be honest with you about what something is worth, and we’ll always encourage you to make the right decision for yourself.
If you decide to accept, payment is immediate. We pay by a business check right there at the event. No waiting, no follow-up, no delays.
If you’re in the New York City area and prefer a private, one-on-one setting rather than an event, our Diamond District office is available by appointment. The process is exactly the same — bring your items, meet a specialist, receive a transparent offer, and get paid on the spot — just in a quieter, more personal environment.
Bring any items you’d like evaluated: gold jewelry, diamonds, watches, coins, silver, or estate pieces. Original certificates, appraisals, or receipts help but are never required. When in doubt, bring it in — a free look costs nothing.
Most evaluations take 10 to 45 minutes depending on the number of items. We never rush.
None. Appraisals are completely free. There is no charge and no obligation regardless of whether you decide to sell.
There is no pressure to sell, no follow-up calls. Whenever you’re ready, so are we.
