- Silver Jewelry: Stunning handcrafted silver rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings featuring beautifully cut gemstones or unique designs.
For each item, you will find:

Step 1: Explore Our Curated Collection
Once you’ve found the perfect gemstone or silver jewelry piece, it’s time to place your bid!
- Live Auction: Each auction runs in real time, meaning you’ll be bidding alongside other interested buyers. You’ll always see the current highest bid and can place your own bid at any time during the auction period.
- Automatic Notifications: You’ll receive notifications if someone outbids you, and when the auction is about to end, so you can react quickly to secure your gem or jewelry piece.
Step 2: Place Your Bid
You have two ways to secure your chosen item:
Option 1: Continue Bidding (Auction Style)
- Competitive Bidding: Keep bidding until the auction ends. When the auction concludes, the highest bid wins the item.

Option 2: Buy Now (Instant Checkout)
- Instant Checkout: If you are satisfied with your highest bid and don’t want to wait for the auction to end, you can choose to Buy Now. This allows you to close the deal immediately at your given highest bid.
- Reserved for You: When you click on Buy Now, the product is reserved exclusively for you at your highest bid. No further bids will be accepted on that item, and the auction will be closed immediately.
- Secure Payment: After you confirm your Buy Now option, you will be directed to our secure checkout page to complete your purchase. Once payment is processed, the item will be reserved for you, and we will begin preparing it for delivery.
Step 3: Choose Your Closing Option
Once you win the auction or choose the Buy Now option, you can finalize your purchase with one of our secure payment methods. We accept a range of payment options to ensure a smooth and easy transaction, including:

After payment is confirmed, we will reserve the gemstone or silver jewelry piece and arrange for prompt shipping to your address. You will receive a tracking number to follow your package every step of the way.
