Services

It is important to have your jewelry appraised in case of loss or theft; without an appraisal, most homeowner or renters insurance will not cover the full worth of your jewelry.

At Lauderhills, we have two experienced GIA Graduate Gemologists on staff who perform all appraisals. We provide you with two copies of the appraisal (one for yourself and one for your insurance company) as well as a photograph of each item. Due to the increasing value of gold, silver, and gemstones, it is important to keep you appraisals up to date.

We also understand what your jewelry means to you, so we treat and examine it with the detail, care, and attention that you expect. Call to make an appointment, or stop by to have your jewelry appraised or to update a previous appraisal.

We excel at everything from minor repairs to extensive jewelry restoration. In our workshop, our highly skilled bench jeweler performs the bulk of all repairs in house. Our jeweler possesses a wealth of experience, a fact that is obvious when one experiences first-hand the excellent craftsmanship of each repair.

Restringing your pearl and gemstone necklaces is an essential step toward preserving their integrity. We recommend restringing every one to two years depending on the amount of wear and overall condition. We do all of our stringing in house, and string every strand on a silk cord, placing a knot between each gem in order to insure safety. While individual knotting is more time consuming, it is the standard to which all pearl necklaces should be strung.

Our master jeweler and creative staff can help you with a custom design to fit your needs.

We Buy Gold and Silver

Unlike gold buying stores, we don’t rely on gold buys to sustain our business, therefore
We are able to offer our customers more per gram for their gold and silver. When you bring your gold in, we sort and test it based on karat and then weigh it for you. If you decide to sell your gold, we will remove any gemstones from your jewelry and return them to you. In addition, when we evaluate your gold jewelry, we are also able to advise you whether it would be more profitable for you to consign particular pieces of your jewelry with us in our estate case.
In addition to gold and silver, we also purchase Rolex watches and diamonds half a carat and larger. Stop by the store and let us evaluate your items and we will give you a quote.

Gold Parties

It works best if you have an area in which your guests can visit with one another, enjoy libations and Hors d’œuvres and an area for us to set-up our equipment to buy items. It is important that the guests have privacy to sell their items as discretion is a key to make them feel comfortable; so ideally should have a room in which they can set up or have a large enough room that two guests can be selling jewelry at once.
What items should you suggest to your clients to bring to sell?

• Gold (broken, twisted or discarded jewelry, coins, bullion)
• Silver (broken, twisted or discarded jewelry, flatware adds up faster in value – such as candlesticks, flatware, serving pieces, coins)
• Coins – old, collector, high silver content, and gold
• Platinum or other precious metals
• Diamonds—we buy diamonds half a carat and up.

How does this work?
You create a guest list. To book a party, we require a minimum of 15 guests with items to sell, and a maximum of 30 guests. Choose the evening of the week carefully when you think that the most women on your guest list might be able to attend. A two-hour party is ideal. We are happy, of course, to stay until the last person has sold their items if it lasts longer.Give us a call if you have questions on set up a gold party with Lauderhills!

We can replace most watch batteries. We also can adjust links in watches or replace old watch bands.
