Why Times Past?

We understand that the decision to sell your personal antique jewelry often is an emotional decision. "Will I be treated honestly?" "Will I get the right price?" Finding the appropriate buyer will give you piece of mind for this important decision and can make a big difference. Most importantly, all our transactions are confidential.

We treat everybody fair, decent and respectful.

We at Times Past are looking for durable relationships and not for victims. To us, the satisfaction of our customers is the key to our success. That this is a working concept is not only proofed by the fact that many of our customers recommend us to their friends and family; but also by the fact that many jewelers in America or Europe will recommend Times Past to you as the place to sell your antique jewelry, diamonds, and collectibles. Furthermore, we think that the quality of our pieces will give you an impression of the dedication we have to our profession of antique-jewelry-dealers.

Times Past will pay the most for big diamonds and antique jewelry.

We have a comprehensive knowledge of the market value of the various periods and styles of antique jewelry and diamonds. Times Past has the resources and interest to buy the most important rare coins, antique jewelry, diamonds, precious stones and brand watches. Contact us and see how you, through our experience, can optimize the sale of your unwanted rare coins, jewelry, diamonds, precious stones and/or fine watches (pocket and wrist).

Professionals rely on Times Past.

Times Past not only buys from the public, we also advice notaries, attorneys, insurance companies, accountants and other professionals. We also work in close cooperation with modern jewelers, manufacturers, banks and curators. Irrespectively your situation, when you have jewelry, diamonds, precious stones, precious metals and/or massive silverware... Times Past is your address.


Your money is waiting for you!

Opposite to auction houses or the so called "rent-a-box" stores, we pay direct. We do NOT charge fees for commission, storage, insurance or pictures. We evaluate the offered articles on the spot and offer directly. For unique pieces, we travel worldwide to appraise and/or buy.

A pleasant experience.

Working with us is not only "convenient"; we offer full-service and high prices. But perhaps as important, we offer you a pleasant experience. When you would like to discuss a certain article, legacy, estate or situation, or if you would like to know more about our way of working, you can contact us without any obligation on your part. Please pay us a visit in our store in Houston (appointments recommended) or you call to schedule a personal visit or to know when are we going to be near you. We spend an important part of our time in Europe with our customers.
