Walton's Jewelry purchases antique and estate jewelry, gold jewelry, platinum jewelry, and sterling flatware.

Selling your personal jewelry, items you've inherited, or settling an estate can be an overwhelming and emotional process. At Walton's, we understand these difficult decisions and are here to guide you through the process. Our GIA Graduate Gemologists and buyers handle your items with the utmost care.
We also purchase gold and platinum, as well as sterling flatware, hollowware, and serving ware (we do not purchase sterling jewelry). Our buyers give a clear and honest explanation of the process, allowing you to make the most informed decision concerning your pieces.
Once submitted, our team will review your pieces and respond to let you know whether we believe they may be a good fit for our collection. If so, we'll invite you to book an in-person appointment. Please do not book an appointment before we have replied to your form submission.
Please note: We do not make offers or purchase jewelry without an in-person evaluation. If you're not able to bring your jewelry to our showroom for inspection, we unfortunately will not be able to move forward with a purchase. At this time, we are only buying jewelry from individuals who can visit us in person.
