Fine Jewelry & Estate Jewelry Consignment Software

GIA Tracking • Hallmarks • Precious Metals • No Monthly Fees

Trusted by estate jewelers in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami

Jewelry consignment requires specialized software — generic retail POS systems can't track GIA certificates, document hallmark details, or manage the precise metal and stone information that determines what a piece is actually worth. BCSS delivers purpose-built jewelry consignment software designed for fine jewelers and estate buyers — all with a one-time payment and no monthly fees.

Unlike cloud-based competitors charging $99–$199 monthly, BCSS provides professional-grade tools for high-value inventory management. Over five years, that's $6,000–$10,000 saved — money you can reinvest in inventory or security. Need to track luxury watches alongside your jewelry?

GIA / EGL / AGS Tracking Karat & Gram Weight Hallmark Documentation High-Res Photo Storage

Built for High-Value Jewelry Inventory

✓ GIA & Appraisal Document Attachment

Scan and attach GIA certificates, EGL reports, AGS appraisals, and authenticity cards directly to each item record. Documents remain permanently attached and can be printed for customer confidence. Perfect for diamond certification and colored stone documentation.

✓ Precious Metal Management

Track karat weight (10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, 24k), metal type (gold, silver, platinum, palladium), gram weight, and current melt value. Essential for estate jewelry buying, scrap gold purchasing, and consignment of precious metal items.

✓ Hallmarks & Maker's Marks

Document every hallmark, maker's mark, assay office stamp, and purity mark found on a piece. For estate and antique jewelry, these marks establish authenticity, origin, and age — details that serious buyers expect to see and that protect you from disputes after the sale.

✓ High-Resolution Photo Storage

Attach multiple high-definition photos to every record. Document hallmarks, diamond clarity characteristics, stone inclusions, and unique identifying features. Photos appear on sales receipts and consignor statements for complete transparency.

✓ Custom Commission Splits

Fine jewelry often requires flexible splits. Configure percentage-based or flat-fee commissions per item — perfect for high-value pieces where standard splits don't apply. Track consignor payouts automatically with no manual math at month-end.

✓ Layaway Management

Help customers afford fine jewelry with built-in layaway payment tracking. Set payment schedules, track deposits, print payment receipts, and automatically calculate final payoff amounts.

"We specialize in estate jewelry. BCSS lets us attach GIA certificates and high-res photos for every diamond piece, and the hallmark tracking has saved us from mis-pricing unsigned pieces more times than I can count. Paid $395 in 2019 — still using it today with zero additional costs. Cloud systems wanted $199/month."

For jewelers buying estate pieces or operating pawn shops alongside their consignment operation, BCSS provides essential tools:

  • Purchase Price Tracking: Record what you paid for estate pieces vs. selling price to track margin on every item.
