Sell to Us · Vintage Jewelry · Laguna Hills
Our warehouse is on Moulton Parkway. Your jewelry box is a short drive.
Laguna Hills is home ground for us in the most literal sense: our buying operation runs out of a warehouse on Moulton Parkway, which makes a Laguna Hills jewelry call the shortest drive we ever make. The city's jewelry runs deeper than its 1970s and 1980s tract-home surface suggests. Households that raised families here are downsizing now, Nellie Gail Ranch estates hold serious collections, and the neighborhoods bordering Laguna Woods share that generation's habit of buying good pieces and keeping them.
We are the team behind Old 44 Vintage in San Juan Capistrano, professional buyers of estate, gold, costume, and signed designer jewelry. Everything is evaluated in front of you, hallmarks and signatures explained, fine separated from costume honestly, and paid for in cash the same visit. No consignment, no shipping your family's jewelry to a stranger, no waiting.
What we buy across Laguna Hills
Estate jewelry and gold
Rings, brooches, bracelets, and chains in gold and platinum, priced against the jewelry market first and metal weight second, with the reasoning explained.
Signed designer and costume pieces
From Trifari and Haskell cocktail jewelry to modern designer names. The clasp signature decides more than the look, and we check every one.
Vintage watches
Omega, Rolex, Hamilton, and the rest, running or not. The reference number tells the story, and we read it in front of you.
Inherited boxes and full estates
A jewelry box is often chapter one of a larger clearing. We evaluate the rest of the house on the same visit if you want, from denim to furniture.
The fastest jewelry house call in Orange County
From Moulton Parkway we reach every Laguna Hills neighborhood in minutes: the original tracts off Paseo de Valencia, the hillside homes of Nellie Gail Ranch, the condos bordering the Village. Same-day visits are common here, and if you would rather come to us, you can, either to the warehouse by appointment or to our shop in San Juan Capistrano where you can put a face to the business first. Call or text photos to (949) 449-1255 and we will give you a straight answer the same day.
A Recent Find
A 1940s Levi’s Type 1 jacket, sold to us by a former dealer who knew exactly what he had. We paid $12,000 in cash, the same day.

Common questions
Can I bring my jewelry to you instead of a house call?
Yes. Plenty of Laguna Hills sellers prefer it. The warehouse on Moulton Parkway sees sellers by appointment, and Old 44 Vintage in San Juan Capistrano is open to walk-ins. Same process either way: every piece read in front of you, every number explained.
How quickly can you come out in Laguna Hills?
This is our own zip code, so usually same day or next day. One call to (949) 449-1255 sets it up.
What if my box turns out to be mostly modest pieces?
Then we say so plainly, and you will know why. Most boxes hold both, a few pieces that deserve individual prices and a pile that deserves a fair lot offer. The visit costs nothing either way, and an honest no is part of the service.
Know what it’s worth before you sell.
Our field guides explain how the market actually prices these things. No fishing, no hype: real ranges and the details that move them.
One call. We’ll take it
