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.
Much easier and faster than ever expected. Communication was clear and frequent.
This company is not as advertised. They told me they expected my piece of jewelry to sell for about $2000 based on the GIA certification. Once they had it, they downgraded the reserve price to &694. One of their people actually told me that the reserve price was not binding! This is not true. The terms and conditions say that if you set a reserve price and it sells, you are obligated to sell the ring. I couldn't believe they told such an obvious lie. I managed to get the ring back and sold it to a jeweler for more than $1300.
Hello Abby,

The process was smooth overall. The communication and customer service was excellent on the front end of the process but it decreased in the middle of the process. The auction process was good and worthy was definitely looking out for me as the seller to acquire the best price. The only thing I would suggest is to read your fine print. The 18% service charge that worthy takes after you sell your item is not discussed but it is in the very fine print. Thank you worthy for your help!

Very easy experience! I was really surprised. I received an email when my ring arrived at Worthy, I received an email when it was unmounted. It went to the live auction and I received more than my reserve. Very happy!
Hey Lynn,
Your feedback means so much to us and we're so glad we were able to help you sell your ring. Don't hesitate to reach out should you need help selling any of your other jewelry down the road!

The process was user-friendly; clear directions and great communication. I felt I was in great hands and the only work I really had to do was find packaging for the ring and once sold, wait for the money to be deposited! It was truly an easy and carefree process.
Hi Fran,
This is exactly what we strive to do! Congrats again on the sale of your ring. Be sure to tell your friends and family about us, we'll be more than happy to help them as well.

I recently had an excellent experience with Worthy with 2 rings. From the first phone call to receiving the money from the auction sale, everyone I spoke to was professional and guided me through the process. I had many questions about the process and pricing of my jewelry. I was kept informed about every step in the process. My jewelry was kept in the auction until a price was secured that exceeded the price that was originally set. I would certainly use Worthy in the future if I had jewelry that I wanted to sell. Thank you!
Hey Leslie,
We appreciate the feedback you've shared about your experience. Our success comes from your success so thank you for choosing to partner with us. We look forward to any future opportunities to work with you again!

I found this company by searching for auctions that were accredited by the BBB. They took care of absolutely everything needed to get my ring auction ready. They insured the ring during transit so that I had no worries sending it off. They asked my permission before altering the ring or my auction in any way. It was easy to grant permission because the website is super easy to use. By the time my auction was finished, I was not happy with my highest bid. I reached out to my auction manager, Ornella, to ask if I could reauction my ring. She suggested that we instead negotiate with the highest bidder. They ended up accepting our counter offer. It is unfortunate that we don't get what we initially paid for our diamonds, but the good news is that this team will help you get all you can from their professional buyers.
Hi Ashton,
We completely understand how intimidating selling your jewelry can seem at first and we appreciate having had the opportunity to walk you through it.

The hardest part of the process was finding a box to mail my rings (Important to note that I could have waited a day for them to mail me a box). They kept me well informed throughout the process. I could call or text whenever I had questions. I was paid quickly. I have zero complaints. I highly recommend using Worthy.

I sent by ring to be auctioned by their company. It took well over the timeframe they said. When I finally received my "estimated" auction value it was so far below the appraised value by the jeweler who made the ring in 2018 but another independent jeweler in 2019. It is insured for almost 70% more than what worthy said. I will be contacting the Attorney General in my state foir fraud

Hi Carrie,
It is very important to note that appraisals are commonly for insurance purposes only and are often based on the retail replacement cost of the jewelry. To ensure you have realistic expectations when selling pre-owned jewelry, it is important to first understand that in a resale market, it is very likely for diamond jewelry to be sold for a significantly lower amount than what was originally paid. Retail prices commonly include markups for any overhead costs and profit margins that do not transfer over in a resale market. These added costs are not part of a jewelry piece's intrinsic value and therefore will not be part of what a buyer will consider paying.
It is our top priority to help sellers such as yourself get the most for your pre-owned jewelry in a resale market. For this reason, all jewelry is professionally cleaned, photographed, and graded by a reputable grading lab prior to auction. We do acknowledge there was a brief delay in the auction preparations while we attempted to obtain your approval to unmount the center diamond of your jewelry for more accurate grading of the diamond at the GIA. When we did not receive this approval after several contact attempts, your jewelry was sent, fully mounted, to IGI for grading instead.
We are sorry that we were not able to help you reach an acceptable offer amount for your jewelry. With that said, we also stand by our completely risk-free process that gives you complete control of the minimum amount you sell your jewelry for, regardless of the current market demand. All unsold jewelry is returned at no cost to you, in the same condition originally received in.
To make sure we have addressed all outstanding concerns with you, a member of our leadership team will be reaching out to you directly to discuss your experience further.
Thank you,
Worthy Team
It was a pleaure to work with Josh in selling my diamond. He answered questions promptly, was very reassuring, and the whole thing was done in a few days. The outcome was literally forty percent greater than the estimates I got elsewhere (and this is after the commission!). I couldn't rate Worthy more positively. Simply the best.
Hi Sue,
Thanks for taking a moment to share your feedback. We appreciate having had the opportunity to work with you!

This option to use Worthy was a recommendation from my local jeweler. I was a little nervous at first in sending a diamond ring to an unknown person/company but they answered all my questions and was really overall a great experience. They kept me in the loop the entire time and I watched the Auction live real time. Profits due to me were direct deposited to my bank. Overall a great experience.
Hey Scott,
Your feedback means so much to us and we're so glad we were able to help you sell your ring. Don't hesitate to reach out should you need help selling any of your other jewelry down the road!

I was hesitant at first to sell my diamond studs. My account manager explained the process to me from start to finish. Once I sent the earrings to Worthy, the account manager kept me in the loop throughout the prepping and selling process. I knew exactly what was happening. When my earrings went to auction, I could view the activity and see the bids. My earrings sold successfully (for a little more than anticipated!). I received my money promptly. No problems, no worries, no hassle! Thank you Worthy!
Hi Donna,

Hi - I used Worthy ( for the 2nd time) to sell an old heirloom ring. Although their inspection found a chip in the diamond (which meant it wasn't worth as much as I thought), their was good bidding interest and it sold above the suggested reserve price. I recd payment 2 days after the sale. Would absolutely use the service again!

After getting quoted at a local pawn shop for $600 for my ring, I sent it to Worthy to see if I'd be able to get more for it. The process was very easy and straightfoward. Worthy had appraised my jewelry for $1100 and I accepted an offer for $90 less than that. I'm happy with my experience with worthy---I just am really bummed used diamonds and gold aren't worth even close to what I had anticipated. My wedding band set was originally ~$4400 10 years ago.

I would recommend Worthy. You will be happy with this process if you have reasonable expectations for your jewelry. Meaning you are likely not going to get what your item might appraise for – there has to be room for everyone to make money.
Overall I am happy with everything. Some things that went really well were: the overall process, the communication, the shipping was very easy and the automated emails and texts let me know what was happening at all the steps. They GIA grading took longer than expected but they informed me of that. The auction itself was easy to set-up and see where the bids were coming in and how much.
I think there are some small things that I would recommend to Worthy just to make things even better and help eliminate customer questions:
1) Clarify if they want GIA certificates: I had one. I followed the shipping instructions and didn't send any paperwork. Was later told the GIA would have been helpful to have
2) The auction length: The site indicated most were 48 hours. Mine was 72. I'm not sure how they decide the length but it would be helpful to know the length at the point you are setting up the auction.
3) Any promotional offers: if you sign up for a promotional offer – follow up to confirm with them. It would be awesome if there was a place in your account to see what you are signed up for, or even better if it was integrated into the screens where you set-up your auction
