Warren Exchange 
Bring the whole box
Old jewelry boxes can hold more value than anyone realizes. Before you donate, discard or spend hours researching a collection, bring the whole box to Warren Exchange.
We buy vintage costume jewelry, designer pieces, sterling silver and much more - including broken, tangled and unmatched jewelry.
Walk-ins welcomed during regular business hours. Appointments available for dedicated time with Tara.
But look what she left behind.
We often hear people lament that their mothers threw away their childhood baseball-card collections.
What they may not realize is that Mom left behind another potential treasure: her jewelry box.
Vintage costume jewelry can be surprisingly valuable. Certain designers, signed pieces, unusual designs, sterling silver and collectible rhinestone jewelry can all be worth real money.
And yes - we buy baseball cards too.
This unassuming basement box was headed for the trash. After carefully sorting through it, we uncovered more than $10,000 worth of real and costume jewelry.
The redacted receipt shown beside the box documents the purchase from the customer who brought in this collection.
Every collection is different, and results like this are not typical - but it always pays to check before throwing anything away.
Bring us:
Not sure what you have? That is perfectly fine. You do not need to identify the maker, untangle every necklace or separate costume jewelry from precious metals. Bring the whole box.
Cleaning vintage jewelry can sometimes damage finishes, stones or collectible details. Sorting it yourself can also make it easier to overlook something valuable.
Bring everything as you found it. We will carefully examine the collection, look for maker's marks and valuable materials, and explain what we find.
Warren Exchange is a woman-owned local business in Warren, Rhode Island. We have sold online since 2001 and welcomed customers to our Warren storefront since 2009.
People come to us with jewelry boxes, basement finds, inherited collections and items they know nothing about. You never need to feel embarrassed because something is tangled, dusty, broken or unsorted.
That is often where the treasure hunt begins.
Visited Tara at Warren Exchange for the first time after finding her shop by google search. I liked that this is a small family business.I had some jewelry left to me by family that was just taking up space.Tara explained her evaluation process and showed us the results as she tested the gold. She has a very honest, pleasant manner and I felt her offer was fair. In fact I was pleasantly surprised by her offer to buy my gold and costume jewelry! I would recommend Tara to anyone.
This was my first time going to the Warren Jewelry exchange. I was greeted with a smile from Tara. I had some old vintage jewelry and I had no idea where to go or who I could trust. She explained everything she was doing piece by piece and I was greatly surprised when she found a couple of pieces that were worth more money than I thought. I would recommend her 100% and I look forward to going back with other pieces that I have.
Had a great experience. Tara, the owner, was incredibly nice, honest, and professional throughout the process. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and confident that I was being treated fairly. Highly recommend The Warren Exchange if you’re looking for an honest and friendly place to sell jewelry!
Reviews are shared exactly as customers wrote them on Google. What your items are worth depends on what you bring in.
No. Bring the entire collection, and we will help determine what you have.
Yes. Broken chains, single earrings, unmatched pieces and tangled collections may still contain valuable or collectible items.
No. Cleaning can damage older finishes, stones or delicate components. It is best to bring the jewelry as you found it.
Sometimes. A piece does not always need a visible signature to be desirable. Age, design, materials, construction, condition and collector demand can all matter.
Yes. You do not need to select individual pieces before visiting. Bring the whole box or collection so nothing important is overlooked.
