SELL YOUR TIFFANY & CO. JEWELRY — NO BOX OR PAPERS NEEDED
Tiffany & Co. pieces carry a kind of value that doesn't depend on a box.

If you're thinking about selling your Tiffany jewelry without the original documentation, you're far from alone — and it doesn't have to complicate the process. At White Pine Diamonds, we buy pre-owned Tiffany jewelry every day, with or without paperwork.

LESS THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT
Buyers do prefer Tiffany jewelry with original packaging and papers — and a small premium comes with having them — but it's far from a dealbreaker. The core value of any Tiffany piece is rooted in its craftsmanship, materials, condition, and the enduring strength of the brand itself. None of those things require a box to prove.
