Sell Tiffany Jewelry in Los Angeles: Prepare the Piece & Papers
To sell Tiffany jewelry in Los Angeles, bring the complete piece and any matching purchase records, diamond certificate, box or repair documents you already have. The buyer should examine the jewelry itself and explain the final purchase offer.
Identify the actual Tiffany piece
Start with what you know: jewelry type, collection name, metal, ring size or chain length, and any stones. If the piece was inherited or received as a gift, say which details come from records and which come from memory. You do not need to guess a model or manufacturing year.
Bring the complete necklace, bracelet, ring or pair of earrings. Include detached components, matching backs or other original parts you still have. A photograph of a similar retail item can help explain a design, but it does not establish the identity or current condition of your piece.
Match each document to the jewelry
Tiffany describes its Diamond Certificate as documenting the identity and grades of the relevant Tiffany diamond. It is useful information to bring with the matching piece. Do not assume a document for one diamond describes every stone in a jewelry collection.
| What you have | How to organize it |
|---|---|
| Receipt or purchase record | Keep it with the item it describes |
| Diamond certificate | Bring the complete document and matching jewelry |
| Repair or resizing record | Note the date and work performed |
| Box and accessories | Include existing items without buying replacements for the visit |
If documents are missing, tell the buyer before the evaluation. Papers and packaging can provide context, but the actual item still needs examination. Neither a branded box nor a copied document establishes authenticity by itself.
Describe condition before arranging repairs
List known resizing, engraving, replacement stones, broken links or missing components. Avoid presenting a repaired piece as untouched. Keep earlier service records even when the work was performed by a different jeweler.
Tiffany’s care and repair information is a useful starting point for questions about brand services. If your purpose is selling, first discuss the piece in its current condition; do not assume a repair, polishing or replacement purchase will increase an offer by its full cost.
Compare a purchase offer with the right reference
An insurance value, original retail receipt and current purchase offer serve different purposes. GIA’s appraisal guidance explains why the purpose and basis of an appraisal matter. Ask whether the buyer considered the complete Tiffany jewelry and what information affected the offer.
Confirm the items included, deductions if any, and payment terms. For inherited collections, the estate jewelry preparation guide can help keep records organized. No brand name alone establishes a fixed resale percentage.

Does a Tiffany certificate state my selling price?
No. The diamond document and the buyer’s current purchase offer have different purposes.
