We buy gold in all purities (from 9K to 24K) including dental gold, as well as natural, Earth-mined diamonds, fine estate jewelry, sterling silver jewelry, and platinum. We also accept precious metal class rings, and sterling silver items in the following categories: flatware, hollowware, platters, pitchers, and serving pieces. Additionally, we purchase precious metal coins, bullion, and select timepieces, depending on the brand and condition.

*If you have an existing appraisal for your estate jewelry, or documentation/warranty for your timepiece, please bring it with you.

No.

Generally, we don't purchase gold-filled or gold-plated items. We do, however, evaluate rare exceptions that carry historical significance. Feel free to reach out if you think your item qualifies!

Yes.

We are always eager to purchase sterling silver, including flatware sets, platters, pitchers, candle holders, and other hollowware. Please note that many sterling silver housewares contain wax, resin, or plaster weighting to add structural stability. When we evaluate these items, our payout is based strictly on the intrinsic value of the pure sterling silver, so filler weights are deducted accordingly.

Please note: We buy solid sterling silver only and do not purchase silver-plated or stainless-steel items. For assistance in identifying your items please contact us for an appointment!

Yes.

We buy natural Earth-mined diamonds! During your consultation, our team will thoroughly evaluate your piece—and if you have a certificate or appraisal, bringing it along helps us provide the most precise valuation.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind:

· Market & Inventory Factors: While we do purchase most diamonds that are brought to us, an offer is not guaranteed and may be limited by current inventory or market trends.

· Small Accent Diamonds: For pieces set with several small diamonds, we typically recommend including their value directly into the item's overall metal weight. This saves you the labor expense of removing the stones to buy them as a separate lot.

Yes.

At Tapper’s Gold Exchange, we are so confident in our payout rates that we back them with an industry-leading 110% Price Match Guarantee. If you receive a higher written offer on your gold within 3 days, we won't just match it, we'll pay you an extra 10% of the difference!

*Certain restrictions apply. Speak with a Tapper’s Gold & Estate Buyer for full details.

You’ll receive immediate payment via an official Tapper’s Gold Exchange corporate check.

At Tapper’s Gold Exchange, we provide immediate, on-site offers for most items. For diamonds, our goal is to have you meet directly with a Gold Exchange representative to receive an offer while you wait. When a deeper evaluation is required, we will take any items in for a free, no obligation offer. Our gemological team works tirelessly to properly assess your piece within a few days. Should a unique item require additional time beyond that, our Estate Team will stay in direct communication with you every step of the way!

Not at all.

You will receive a complimentary, no-obligation quote from Tapper’s Gold Exchange, and your custom offer is locked in for 3 days.
