In partnership with:
“We don’t pay what it weighs. We pay what it is worth.”
Most buying events price by metal weight alone.
At Rothschild Trading, every item brought to the Blacksburg event will be evaluated individually. Diamonds will be graded, colored stones identified and assessed, craftsmanship and provenance taken into account.
Because we find a home for material at every tier, we can offer more than a buyer who is only interested in melting it.
Each piece is examined in person by an experienced buyer. We don’t base offers on a number on a scale alone.
Rothschild Trading is certified to the Responsible Jewellery Council’s Chain-of-Custody standard and is a registered supplier with the American Gem Society.
Fair dealings is a priority.
The evaluation and offer are free. You decide whether to sell or keep your pieces.
Payment is immediate if you do.
