Insurer’s Jewelry Salvage

« Back to Insurance Claims

The claim is settled but, as one insurer told us, “The case isn’t closed ’til the salvage’s sold.”

Unsold salvage represents unrealized profit. Broken or chipped stones, fire and flood damaged jewelry all have tangible value.

We Buy Insurer’s Salvage Jewelry

Offering unparalleled service and pricing, Delmonte-Smelson has been turning salvage jewelry into ready cash for Fortune 500 insurance companies for over 40 years. How good are we? One of the biggest companies recently awarded us a long-term contract to buy all their salvage jewelry!

Straightforward Salvage Protocol

From submission to payment, the typical procedure is quick, easy and professional.

1. Submission. The insured or their jeweler sends us the salvage jewelry using a UPS label supplied by the adjuster.
2. Receipt. We acknowledge receipt promptly by email, including an identifying photo taken in our offices.
3. Evaluation. Our Gemological Laboratory provides authentication and valuation.
4. Bid. A bid detailing color, clarity, etc. is sent to the adjuster and salvage supervisor.
5. Payment. Our check goes out the same day our offer is accepted.

We promise competitive, true-market pricing and quick turn-around from receipt to payment — often same day!  Need personal, on-site service?  We can do that throughout the New York metro area ( See our Personal Service Area Map).
