Jewelry Buying Events - What to Expect
If you're sitting on antique fine jewelry, vintage watches, or heirloom pieces collecting dust, it's time to turn them into cash. This event, in partnership with Beneficial Estate Buyers, has been a biannual tradition, at Croft & Stern, every May and September since 2023.
Why Attend?
This isn't your average gold-buying pop-up. Beneficial Estate Buyers are seasoned professionals who travel nationwide, purchasing estate jewelry, watches, diamonds, and more. Their Madison Estate Collection features a curated selection ranging from Victorian to modern pieces, ensuring your items are evaluated by experts who appreciate their true value.
Whether you have a Georgian garnet necklace, an Art Deco diamond bracelet, or a Victorian heart locket, this is your opportunity to receive immediate payment for items you no longer wear. The event offers a no-pressure environment where you can get a fair assessment and decide without obligation.

Event Details
The Estate Jewelry Buying Event at Croft & Stern is held only twice a year—each time for just three days in May and September—making it a limited, high-demand opportunity to sell your fine jewelry, vintage pieces, and estate treasures. During the event, you'll arrive at our Maple Grove studio for your scheduled appointment (or walk in, if space allows). A greeter will sign you in and answer any initial questions before one of the two expert buyers from Beneficial Estate Buyers meets with you privately. You’ll present your items—anything from antique diamond rings to vintage watches or gold chains—and the buyer will carefully assess their value on the spot. You’ll then receive a professional offer with no pressure to sell. If you choose to accept, a check will be written and handed to you immediately. The entire process typically takes just 15–20 minutes. If you have a large collection or multiple boxes of items, we recommend booking back-to-back appointments to ensure enough time for a thorough evaluation.
