How to Buy Fine Jewelry at Auction

Although our headquarters are virtually based in Las Vegas Nevada, you can participate in our online auctions from anywhere in the world! If it is your first time registering to bid with ESA, We are committed to creating a fair and trustworthy bidding experience for each one of our bidders, and recommend that all new bidders register at least 24 hours ahead of the auction if you have received an email notification of an upcoming auction and you have not yet subscribed as a user. Once you have been approved to bid, you will be added to our book of trusted bidders and immediately pre-approved for all future sales.

Benefits of Buying at Auction

Choosing to buy fine jewelry and watches at auction versus an online marketplace comes with multiple benefits:

Transparency With the Items Offered

Have you ever bought a piece of jewelry online, only for it to arrive damaged or look nothing like its photos? When you buy jewelry or watches at our auctions, we provide as much detailed information as possible before you place your bid. Our listers —many of whom have worked with globally-renowned stone traders—inspect and catalog every lot of stone and jewelry we offer at auction. This process ensures every  item is available for you to reference at any time. We also encourage all of our bidders to contact us if they would like more information or additional images of a piece that strikes their interest.

Access to Some of the Rarest Treasures on Earth

One of the most exciting elements of bidding at auction, is the opportunity to take home some of the rarest pieces of stone or jewelry  Whether it is a sublime piece of handcrafted stone, jewelry or a rare gem found deep in the mountains of Thailand, ESA is the perfect place for buyers to seek unique and singular pieces that can’t be found anywhere else on the market.
