There’s something magical about finding a piece of jewelry that feels like it has a past—and a future. That’s the heart of consignment jewelry: it’s not just beautiful; it’s meaningful. Pre-owned fine jewelry carries stories, legacies, and the kind of craftsmanship you rarely find in fast fashion or mass production.
At Lorraine Fine Jewelry, our curated consignment collection is one of our best-kept secrets—and a favorite among collectors, romantics, and sustainability-minded sparkle lovers. Here’s why consignment might just be your next favorite way to shop for fine jewelry.
What Is Consignment Jewelry, Anyway?
Consignment jewelry is pre-owned fine jewelry that’s been evaluated, authenticated, and offered for resale—usually by a trusted jeweler. Unlike pawn shops or flea markets, consignment at Lorraine is all about quality, care, and curation.
Think: a vintage engagement ring from the 1920s with hand-cut diamonds. A Cartier bracelet passed down two generations. An amethyst cocktail ring that was worn to a black-tie gala in the ‘80s. Every piece has a story—and now it’s ready for its next chapter.
Why Buy Consignment Jewelry?
1. One-of-a-Kind Style
In a world of mass-produced sparkle, consignment jewelry stands apart. You’re not going to see your ring on ten other hands at brunch. These are pieces with personality—often vintage or out-of-production—making them truly one of a kind.
2. Sustainable Sparkle
Pre-owned jewelry is the ultimate form of luxury recycling. No additional mining. No new manufacturing. Just timeless craftsmanship being given new life. Shopping consignment means you’re honoring the earth and embracing a slower, more meaningful kind of fashion.
3. Exceptional Value
Let’s be honest—fine jewelry is an investment. But consignment often means getting incredible quality at a lower price than new retail. Think: a platinum diamond band that would be double the price new, or a vintage sapphire pendant that feels like a steal. Yes, please.
How We Curate Lorraine’s Consignment Collection
At Lorraine Fine Jewelry, we treat consignment pieces with the same care and reverence as our new designs. Every item is:
-
Carefully inspected for authenticity and quality
-
Professionally cleaned and polished
-
Priced fairly and transparently
-
Beautifully displayed in our boutique and online store
Our collection includes everything from estate rings and heirloom brooches to pre-owned designer pieces. Whether you’re after a timeless diamond pendant or a bold vintage cuff, our consignment cases are filled with treasures waiting to be rediscovered.
Selling Your Jewelry on Consignment
Got a piece you’re no longer wearing? That doesn’t mean it’s lost its value—or its beauty. We offer an easy, respectful consignment process that helps your jewelry find its next loving home.
Here’s how it works:
-
Bring in your piece (or schedule a virtual consult).
-
We assess, price, and professionally present it.
-
Once it sells, you receive a percentage of the sale.
It’s simple, secure, and a great way to turn unworn sparkle into something more meaningful—whether that’s cash, space, or a new piece that better suits your style now.
