How do you drive from Sea Girt to Brick?
From Washington Boulevard or the streets off Route 71, head south to the Brielle Circle and take Route 70 over the Manasquan River into Brick. Cedar Bridge Avenue is off Route 70 on the Brick side and the store is at number 921. It is normally fifteen to twenty minutes, a little longer on a summer afternoon when the shore traffic is heavy.
The Brick counter is open Monday through Friday and closed on Saturday and Sunday. If you want to ask about a watch or a ring before coming down, call (732) 444-2094.
Why Sea Girt drawers hold things other towns' do not
Commodore Robert F. Stockton put the Sea Girt estate together in the 1850s and named it for the land girt by water. The state bought ground here in 1887 for a National Guard camp, and for half a century the camp also housed the governor in the summer; it was at Sea Girt in 1912 that Woodrow Wilson, then governor, was told he had been nominated for president. The borough split from Wall Township in 1917, the lighthouse at Ocean Avenue and Beacon Boulevard has stood since 1896, and the Guard is still here at its training center.
That history shows up at the counter. Service rings and academy class rings, a gold watch given at a military or state police retirement, cufflinks and tie bars from a working life, and the steady stream of heirloom jewelry that a small town of about 1,900 people and a lot of long-held family houses produces. Summer families add sterling flatware from a big house, pearls with gold clasps, and a diamond or two nobody wears anymore.
How a Sea Girt watch or ring is judged
A presentation watch is valued first as a watch. The brand, the movement, the engraving and whether it still runs all count before we look at the gold case, and a case marked 14K is tested because many retirement watches are gold filled or plated. Service and class rings are usually 10K, which is 41.7 percent gold, or 14K at 58.5 percent, and often carry a synthetic stone; the XRF reading settles the metal, and the stone is weighed out so the gold is priced on its own weight.
Sterling flatware is weighed apart from the stainless knife blades and plated serving pieces that usually come in the same chest. See the watch buyers page, the silver page and the jewelry buyers page for the details.
A straight answer at the counter
“Dennis was a very straight shooter, honest and I will do business with him in the future.”

Rings, pearls and whole households
Engagement rings and anniversary stones are examined under magnification for carat, cut, color and clarity, and a GIA or AGS report strengthens the offer. The setting is tested and priced as its own metal. When a family house near the beach is being settled, small collections come to the counter and larger ones can be seen at home by arrangement through the estate buyers service; the estate jewelry guide explains what to keep aside first.

Where is the nearest place to sell gold from Sea Girt?
Our Brick store at 921 Cedar Bridge Ave, about fifteen to twenty minutes south by Route 70 over the Manasquan River. Phone (732) 444-2094.
Is a gold retirement watch worth more than its gold?
It can be. The watch is judged first for its maker, movement and condition, and only then compared with the value of the case, which is tested because many presentation cases are gold filled.
Do you buy military and class rings?
Yes. Most are 10K or 14K, and the XRF analyzer confirms which. Synthetic stones are allowed for in the weight so the gold is priced on gold alone.
Is the Brick store open on weekends?
No. It is open Monday through Friday and closed Saturday and Sunday. Walk-ins are welcome on weekdays with no appointment.
Can you handle a Sea Girt estate?
Yes. Small lots come to the counter, and a larger house can be seen at home by arrangement through the estate service, which also covers executor paperwork.
What do I need to bring?
A valid government photo ID, which New Jersey requires for every precious-metals sale. Boxes, papers and appraisals help but are optional.
