Prep for Sale

Our team of gemologists and 3rd party, objective graders will prepare your jewelry for auction by cleaning, grading, and photographing it for you in a way that attracts the attention of potential buyers.
CleaningWe carefully remove any dirt or tarnish to make it sparkle.
External gradingJewelry is inspected by objective industry-leading labs like GIA, GHI, and IGI. Watches are inspected by Central Watch.
Beauty shotsYour piece is professionally photographed from every angle so that buyers can get a closer look.

Online Auction

Once you set a reserve price and start your online auction, youʼll be able to watch the offers roll in.
Reserve priceA reserve price is the lowest amount you're willing to sell for. We'll recommend one for you based on the grading report and cleaning we perform for you. But you're in control – you can accept ours, or set your own reserve price.
Auction listingWe'll list your item with a detailed description, beauty shots, and the third-party grading report.
Live auctionPush the button, and your auction will be live for 48 to 72 hours. You can view your item and watch as offers are made.
Buyer networkOnce live, the 1K+ professional industry buyers on our platform can view and bid on your item.

Get Paid

Once your item is sold, you'll get the final sale amount minus Worthy's fee, which is a percentage of the sale price.
Payment methodYou can receive your payment via a bank transfer, PayPal or check. The choice is yours.
Payment timelineOnce the sale is complete and payment details have been provided, we collect payment from the buyer for your valuables and start processing your payment. As these are professional buyers, this can typically take anywhere from 5-10 business days before we issue the payment to you. We will always work as hard as we can to ensure you are paid as quickly as possible. Once we've issued the payment, receipt of the funds varies depending on the payment method you select and works as follows:
  • PayPal: Same day
  • Bank Transfer (ACH): 1-3 business days
  • Mailed Check: 1-10 business days
*
Payment for multiple pieces of jewelry is processed once all sales are complete.
*
Incorrect payment information, i.e. wrong address or account number will result in payment delays.
Worthy's feesYour only cost is Worthy's success fees. The fee is a percentage of your final selling price, so you know we're on your side and will work to get you the most money possible. And if your item doesn't meet the reserve price you set, we'll return it to you free of charge.
