Gold, Jewelry & Precious Metals
Do you buy gold jewelry?

Do you buy gold and silver coins?
Yes. Joseph Diamonds purchases many types of gold and silver coins, including bullion coins, 90% silver coins and other precious-metal coins.
For potentially rare or collectible coins, additional numismatic value may need to be considered rather than evaluating the item solely for its precious-metal content.

Diamonds & Fine Jewelry

Do you buy engagement rings?
Yes. We purchase diamond engagement rings as well as many designer, estate, antique and vintage engagement rings.
