Sell Gold and Jewelry in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Ten minutes south of the pier
Nicholas Estate Buyers buys gold, jewelry and watches from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea residents at 2821 E Oakland Park Blvd. Straight down A1A then west at Oakland Park Boulevard, roughly ten minutes from Commercial Boulevard and the pier.
There is no buyer of this kind inside the town, which is small enough that most services sit somewhere else. This is the nearest counter where a piece is tested and weighed in front of you.
Two homes, one jewelry box
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a low-rise coastal town of a few thousand permanent residents, sitting inside the 33308 ZIP where the median age is 57.2. What makes it different from the towers on the Galt Ocean Mile a mile south is the seasonal population.
A meaningful share of the housing here belongs to people who spend part of the year somewhere north. That produces a particular situation: jewelry gets split between two homes, or moved down when a northern house is finally sold, and much of it arrives having been out of sight for years.
The other common trigger is the reverse. A seasonal resident decides to stop making the trip, sells the Florida place, and clears it in a matter of weeks. Those visits tend to be time-pressured, and calling ahead is worth doing.
What we buy
- Gold jewelry, 10K through 24K, in any condition
- Sterling flatware and tea services, often the ones brought down from a northern house
- Diamond rings, brooches and colored stones
- Watches including Rolex, Omega, Cartier and Tudor
- Gold and silver coins, bullion and inherited collections
- Signed pieces from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Tiffany
- Costume jewelry, sorted at no charge
