Jewelry Value Checker
Photograph a ring, necklace or brooch and FlipAI reads hallmarks, metal type and style, then returns a value range from live market listings.
Download FlipAI FreeHow the jewelry scan works
Take a photo of the item or scan its barcode if it has one. FlipAI reads the details that decide value in this category and prices the result against live eBay market listings. A scan takes about ten seconds.
- Hallmarks and purity stamps — 925, 14K, 18K, PLAT
- Designer and maker signatures
- Stone type and setting style where visible
- Era cues — Victorian, Art Deco, mid-century, contemporary
Jewelry splits cleanly into three markets: scrap metal value, costume collector value and fine jewelry. Knowing which one a piece belongs to is most of the decision, and the hallmark usually answers it.
FlipAI reads the stamps and signatures from your photo and prices against live market listings, so signed costume pieces (Trifari, Weiss, Coro) and marked sterling do not get thrown into the scrap pile by mistake.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check what jewelry is worth from a photo?
Photograph the piece, then close up on any stamp inside a band or on a clasp. FlipAI reads the hallmark and style and returns a market price range for comparable pieces.
Can a scan tell if jewelry is real gold or silver?
It reads purity stamps like 925, 14K and 18K when they are visible in the photo. Unmarked pieces need a professional test to confirm metal content.
Is costume jewelry worth anything?
Signed mid-century costume jewelry often sells well above scrap value. Unsigned fashion pieces usually sell best as bulk lots.
Should I sell jewelry for scrap or as a piece?
Compare the market price range from your scan against the melt value. Signed, antique or designer pieces almost always beat scrap; plain damaged gold often does not.
