Our mission


The best place to buy fine jewelry and watches online. Full stop.

We built what didn't exist: a place where you could find truly one-of-a-kind pieces — certified, authenticated, and shipped to your door overnight — with the care and expertise of a decades-old family jeweler. Because that's exactly what we are.

Our story


Gad & Co., 1983.Assay, 2020.

Our family has been in the jewelry business since 1983, when our father founded Gad & Co. — a name still operating today in Hong Kong. Growing up surrounded by gemstones, hallmarks, and the art of the deal, jewelry wasn't a career choice for Josef and Benzion Gad. It was simply home.

In 2020, we founded Assay Jewelers in Miami to bring that same generational knowledge to a new era of buying — transparent, accessible, and entirely online. Same standards. Sharper experience.

We're not a brand. We're real people, selling real jewelry, with our name on every piece.

WATCHES


Not the watches everyone has. The ones no one else found.

The secondary watch market is full of the same pieces — overpriced, overhyped, and available from a hundred different sellers at nearly identical margins. We don't play that game.

We acquire watches that are genuinely one-of-a-kind: vintage Rolex, Cartier, Piaget, and others that the brands will never make again. Rare references, unusual configurations, pieces with stories. At prices that reflect real value — not manufactured hype.

Every watch goes through the same rigorous process as our jewelry. It comes with documentation most sellers wouldn't bother with. And it's in our hands, in stock, ready to ship — not sitting in a vendor's warehouse waiting to be sourced after you pay.

In-house watchmaker verification

Every piece is inspected by our professional watchmakers and verified against reference databases and archival records before it's listed.

Certificate of appraisal included

We don't just tell you a watch is original — we show you. Every sale includes a detailed certificate with photos of the movement, movement number, reference number, and serial number.

Movement & water pressure tested

Beyond visual inspection — we test what you can't see. Every movement is tested for function and accuracy; water resistance is pressure-tested where applicable.

Real photos of the actual watch

No stock images. Every photo in our listings is of the exact piece you're buying — shot in detail so you can see what you're getting before it ships.

In stock. Direct source. No dropshipping.

Every watch in our collection is physically here. You're buying from the source — not waiting for us to find it after you've already paid.

Why "Assay"?


"The hallmark of transparency — honesty and fairness stamped into every piece."

The process of testing precious metals for purity — 14K, 18K, platinum — is called assaying. An assay mark, or hallmark, is the stamp a jeweler earns and a buyer trusts. It's the most critical act in jewelry: the moment someone puts their name on a piece and saysthis is what it is.That's what we do, every day.
