How and When do I Get Paid?
Payment rendered immediately upon agreement, and a check is drafted from JP Morgan Chase Palm Beach. There also is the option of wire transfer on more significant purchases.
What if My Diamond does Not Have a Certificate?
Fabrikant & Miller are GIA-trained and have more than 40 years of experience grading stones for purchase, so it is not always necessary to have a GIA certificate.
Should my Pieces be Cleaned Before Bringing them In?
Please bring us your items in their original condition so that we may assess whether they would be of more value “as is”versus “polished.”
Do I Need a Box and Papers for my Piece?
Although it is not mandatory for watches to have original boxes and papers, it can make a significant difference in value, especially for more complicated watches, which should ideally accompany the piece, if possible.
Why Shouldn’t I Just Sell to a Retail Store?
Retail jewelry stores tend to focus on new items and often do not have the expertise or the capital to spend on second-hand market items.
What About Consigning With My Local Jeweler?
Consignment to a local jeweler is only beneficial to the jeweler, not to you. A jeweler won’t have to put any money or marketing into helping you sell your items, however, they will take a hefty commission when they do sell. This process can take a month, a year, or even years.
At Fabrikant & Miller, we offer immediate acquisition. Should you prefer consignment, our policy is a two-week resolution to actively pursue a buyer.
How do I Know You Wont Sell to Someone I Know?
We do our very best to place acquisitions in different markets from which we buy.
Discretion is a top priority for us.

Client Testimonials
“After spending hours looking for a reputable Rolex buyer in South Florida, I inquired with Craig Miller about selling a few of my watches. I scheduled an appointment to meet with him and was pleasantly surprised how warm and welcoming him and his team were. They were very transparent about the resale value of my watches and more. I received great offers for a few of them, which were more than other luxury watch buyers nearby. I accepted and they cut me a check on the spot and that was it. Super easy and painless from start to finish. Highly recommend them to anyone in town that’s looking to sell watches and jewelry.”

“I made an appointment with Craig about selling my mother’s jewelry. When I showed up, he was very warm and friendly, and made everything very comfortable. It’s not easy selling fine jewelry since I was a bit emotionally attached to it. He was very honest and trustworthy about my items. Some had little to no value on the secondary market, but others did. I sold most of everything I brought, minus a few items. I was offered more than I anticipated before visiting their store. He wrote me check and I was on my way. Thank you for making this so easy and painless.”

“Fabrikant & Miller were absolutely wonderful to work with. They are very knowledgeable fine jewelry buyers who are very kind, transparent, and helpful throughout appraising some antique diamond jewelry that I recently inherited but no longer need. I got a great price on the items and received a check for them the same day. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you!”

“An all-around fabulous experience. Craig was exceptional throughout the entire buying process as he offered solid advice, transparent feedback, and a very competitive offer for several pieces of diamond jewelry I inherited from my grandmother’s estate years ago. They’ve become my go-to recommendation to anyone looking to sell antique jewelry in the Palm Beaches. You can’t find better quality service anywhere and I’ll continue to work with them in the future. Thank you so much!”

“Hands down the best jewelers on Worth Ave. Craig Miller was super helpful and patient with me while appraising several gold and diamond jewelry pieces I brought in during my consultation. After taking the time to carefully inspect each piece, I was floored with the offers he gave me and accepted them on the spot. I had no idea and he was so open and honest that I couldn’t refuse. If you’re looking for a trustworthy jewelry buyer, these are your guys – just ask for Craig. Thanks for making everything so easy, I learned a lot and will be back in no time.”
