Honest Answers

Before You Bring It In.

How long does an appraisal take?
Most single pieces are evaluated in about 20 to 30 minutes while you wait. Full collections, estates, and multi-item insurance schedules can take an hour or more — we’ll set expectations when we confirm your appointment so you know exactly what to plan for.
What do you appraise?
Luxury watches, gold and platinum jewelry, diamonds, antique and vintage pieces, estate jewelry, signed designer items, sterling flatware and holloware, gold and silver coins, bullion, and scrap. If it has precious metal, gemstones, or watchmaking value, bring it in — we appraise it.
What should I bring to my appraisal?
Just the item. If you have original boxes, papers, service receipts, GIA or AGS certificates, or any provenance documentation, bring those too — they can meaningfully affect value. Photo ID is required for any cash transaction. No paperwork? Not a problem, the piece itself is what we evaluate.
Do I receive a written report I can use for insurance?
Yes. Every formal appraisal is delivered as a signed written report on Sansom Watches letterhead with detailed condition notes, photographs, provenance, current fair-market and replacement values, and the appraiser’s credentials. Reports are accepted nationwide by insurers, trust attorneys, estate executors, and resale platforms.
Do you also buy what you appraise?
Yes. If you’d rather sell than ship it out, we make same-day cash offers on watches, gold, diamonds, estate jewelry, and bullion. There’s no obligation — the appraisal stands on its own. You only sell if our offer makes sense for you.
Do you buy gold — even broken jewelry, scrap, or coins?
Absolutely. We buy gold in every form: chains, rings, brooches, broken jewelry, dental scrap, bullion bars, krugerrands, eagles, and old coin collections. We test on-site with XRF and acid, weigh on a calibrated scale, and pay current market spot the same day — cash or check, your choice.
Why do I need an insurance appraisal for my watch or jewelry?
Without a current written appraisal, most insurers will only reimburse a fraction of replacement cost if your piece is lost, stolen, or damaged. A signed appraisal locks in documented value so your policy actually covers what your watch or jewelry is worth today. We recommend updating appraisals every two to three years as the market moves.
Is there parking and how do I find you?
Yes — The Radnor Financial Center offers free parking right on premises. We’re in Suite F-200 on the Main Line, easy in-and-out from Route 30 and I-476. Appointments are private, never rushed, and you’ll never wait in a queue.
