After the sale I had to contact Worthy two times as to where our money was. Although you are told it would take 10 to 15 days, our money took a bit longer. We bank with an international bank not a local institution so the length of time was unnecessary.
I sent in a ring and a necklace to sell. They had me take a picture of the ring and send it to them. In none of the communications did it say that the items had to meet their criteria to sell them. I mailed the items the next day and the day after that, I got an email stating that my items are not the kind of items that they want to sell. They had not even seen the necklace yet. The items arrived at their location and the next day they sent me another email stating that there was not enough demand in their marketplace to sell my items. They wanted to return them to a staffed fed ex location two hours away from me. Went thru all the rigamarole to get my items sent back to my home address. Would not recommend them unless you have very high-end jewelry. Apparently, that is all they are looking for. They should screen items better to save people time of sending their items in.
I would gladly use worthy again. Very professional. They keep you updated every step of the way. It's a process but that's ok. They are very thorough.
I trusted worthy to sell my engagement ring after reviewing several sites and exploring local options. The process was smooth, seem less and painless.
I would absolutely use them again in the future.

I highly recommend this company for any quality jewelry you need to sell.

I guess I fell for it. I sent my diamond to Worthy with full awareness of its worth and GIA grading that I obtained at the time of purchase. A secondary/independent appraisal also validated it's grading. I understood completely that it was an auction and I would not recoup nearly its full value. I absolutely understand that Worthy is in this business to make a profit. Interestingly, the GIA grade determined by Worthy was significantly different in color, though match in clarity. Interestingly, they never asked for the grading, only the size when submitted. I began to have a sinking feeling. I asked for a low minimum reserve- which was not met, not surprisingly based on their grading. I asked that the ring be returned, confirmed the location for the FedEx office locally and was assured via email that it would be in my possession in 7 to 10 days. When I did not receive the promised FedEx tracking number, nor my ring, I emailed my customer service agent. Shockingly, I did not receive a reply to my email. A phone call to the company, revealed that they don't know why my ring was not sent back, but they should be able to get me a tracking number next week to ensure that I can track its progress. I am hopeful to get the ring back, but at this point I am markedly concerned that I might not. I have a feeling I will be making many more phone calls to try to get my ring returned. They were anxious to receive it and provided expedited two day air shipping, but can't seem to be as efficient returning it, or even giving an explanation for why it is not been returned. Go elsewhere.

Hello Mechele,
A member of our leadership team previously attempted to contact you directly about the concerns with your return. Although they did not hear back from you, we are confident we have taken the appropriate measures to resolve your concerns. From our review, we can confirm the return location was confirmed on 5/20/22 and the package was shipped out on 6/6/22,10 business days from that date. As explained in our communication with you directly, our return processing timeframe is between 7-10 business days where great care is taken to securely package your return for safe delivery.
Please note, as part of the services we provide in preparation for your jewelry's auction, complimentary grading at a third-party independent grading lab such as the GIA is included. It is very important to note the grading reports provided by the grading lab are completely objective. As a reminder, before starting your auction, you have complete control over the reserve price that is set and the minimum amount your jewelry sells for. If the reserve price is not met, we'll initiate the return of your ring without hesitation. Although we weren't able to assist you with the sale of your jewelry, we do wish you the best if you decide to pursue another avenue.
If there are any remaining questions or concerns we can address with you, please do not hesitate to reach back out to us at any point.
Thank you,

From beginning to end the process was flawless.My only disappointment is that it sold for so little.Although I believe that would have been the case had I worked hard on selling it myself as well.

I do feel like the process took a long time to get to auction but I had constant communication from Worthy and they worked with me when I wanted a higher price. Abbey was great to talk too!

Such a seamless and easy experience! I've already told 2 people about Worthy! My auction ended at more than 4X's a price that I had been offered for my ring from another selling service.
Hey Cordelia,

I had this ring reviewed by one of my moms friends who is actually a diamond dealer. He buys and sells diamonds way closer to the actual cost hat a jeweler or company who's it gonna charge you about triple the price of whatever something is worth. Most people don't know this until they have already had this type of situation happen. They spend a small fortune on a diamond that actually has no true value if ever needed to be resold. So if anyone is reading this. Find a direct diamond broker! They will sell you a diamond way closer to the price of the actual value of the diamond And you'll probably get a way bigger better clarity more awesome diamond from them than you ever will from any store and definitely more than any company like worthy. My mother's friend who's business is just that told me that even though yes the ring from the store cost around $14,000 that it should get around $2,500-! 3,500. I remember when I first heard those numbers that I felt they were so little comparatively to the original price tag. Jaw dropped! So why I understood his expertise I decided to send my ring into Whorthy to see what that market could hold and they suggested...$850 after their analysis which is absolutely ridiculous! That's before they're 20% fee cut btw. Save yourself the time and money and see if you can find an independent diamond broker for someone else because were they at this point doesn't give you much more than a pawnshop!
Hi Brooke,
Worthy is an online auction marketplace. We operate as a unique consumer to business platform that connects consumers looking to sell a piece of jewelry with a vetted wholesale community of professional jewelry buyers. Hope this helps to clarify Worthy and what we offer sellers.
Thank you.
I can see others have liked this service and maybe it's because they're just surprised they got anything for their jewelry. But this is a similar service to "I have to sell my used car quick for cash" or going to your local Pawn broker... well, it may be a step above that I guess. But don't think for a minute just because they have hundreds of buyers as they'll tell you, that that means you're going to get top dollar. You won't. You won't likely even get what your diamond/jewelry is worth for scrap. Oh they'll rush to get your item, and then give you an "appraisal" (mine was ridiculously low=I know the scrap value of the diamonds... they did not even meet that) and then let the auction run and hey maybe you have an amazing one of a kind piece that will sell high... but even then I'd bet you'd do better on Ebay with good pictures and a great sales/writeup. (as I have) Also don't expect a quick return if you want it back after their auction. Diamond Buyers International is a much better/similar service. No slick sales team experience like I had with Worthy. Or well, some of the team I spoke with were more informed than others but none gave the explanation of what their service actually is in the way that I learned online and from the Rep I dealt with at Diamond Buyers International. Good luck though!
In response to your comments, Worthy respectively finds your statements self promoting and not grounded in actual facts. Worthy works with reputable and respected industry partners, such as Llyod’s of London for insurance coverage, GIA and IGI for diamond grading reports, FedEx for shipping, to name a few of our business partners. These companies are trusted worldwide and each take great pride and care in being best in class service providers.
It is important to recognize that GIA and IGI do not issue appraisals, as an appraisal is subjective in scope and is typically used as an insurance replacement value. A Grading Report is the scientific evaluation of the diamonds characteristics. The Grading Report states the cut, color, clarity, carat weight, polish, symmetry, fluorescence, culet size, length, width, depth, girdle and inclusions. Knowing what you have is key and Worthy works with and partners with GIA and IGI to give you the facts on your diamond. It is an unbiased, 3rd party report. The buyers on the Worthy online auction platform bid on each diamond based on the facts and the Grading Report as the global industry standard.
Worthy works with thousands of clients and as can be seen in all the many positive reviews, helps clients get the most for their items.
Awesome selling experience. My watch sold for more than the reserve. The Worthy staff was super helpful and very responsive with all my questions. I'll sell again on Worhy!

I sent them my great grandmother's supposed diamond wedding ring. I knew nothing about the ring. It looked to be at least a carat supposed diamond. A friend who has bought diamond rings in the past said if it is REAL, it could be worth $4,000-$5,000. So I gave them a shot.
I quickly got a response that they were sorry, the ring would not be in demand at their auction, so they were returning it.
That is fine. But I had no reason why, and I asked if they can at least tell me if the ring was too old or even REAL. You never know. Great-gramps could have gotten her a cubic zirconia. I would have least liked to have known why it was not even auction-worthy. So I would have to give the process 2-stars for being 'incomplete' in my estimate.
** UPDATE **
Shortly after posting this review, a representative from Worthy contacted me and did confirm that the diamond I sent in was NOT authentic. They apologized I was not told immediately. Thus everything on their end was done appropriately and professionally.
Hi Chester,
We greatly appreciate having the opportunity to quickly clear up the concerns surrounding your submission! Although we weren't able to partner with you on the sale of your great-grandmother's ring, please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any future assistance.

Thanks,

I had never attempted to sell jewelry before. Over the years, I had lost my Diamond Certificate on my 30 year old ring. I didn't trust local people (without a recommendation from someone I trusted) so I looked online and found Worthy. I read about their Company, how they handled the selling process, and reviews from happy Customers...Worthy seemed very fair in their approach by all that spoke of them. Fair was what I was looking for. They made it very easy for me from sending a Fedx Driver to my door to pick my ring up (the whole process was insured by Worthy), keeping me in the loop on every step from the pickup, arrival, cleaning, certifying, and then gave me the final approval on my auction price (which I made my own choice that was close to their appraisal). I got the price I wanted at the end of the 72 hour auction credited to my checking account in just 2 days and my 18% fee was quite fair for Worthy doing everything for me! The Staff was kind and helpful through the whole excellent process. I would recommend to anyone with Jewelry they are considering to sell...you would feel comfortable and fairly treated with Worthy. Thank you Worthy!
