Yes! You can upgrade your USPS Priority Mail to Express Overnight delivery for $15.
We only ship to the billing address listed on your credit card. If you want to ship to a different address, we request you set up a PayPal account that allows shipping to that address. You may also do a direct wire transfer, in which case we will ship to whatever address you would like.
The jewelry is placed into lovely gift boxes. The outside packaging is discreet USPS or FedEx packing.
All of our packages are insured. If you believe an item was lost in the mail, please contact us immediately.

We request signature confirmation on any packages over $100. Please make sure someone will be available to sign for your package the day it is expected to be delivered. If someone is not there, the package is normally sent to the post office where you can pick it up. If you want us to wait to ship, please be sure to contact us.
At this time we do not offer international shipping due to insurance purposes. If you have found something you like and want to be responsible for the insurance yourself, please contact us and we will try to set something up for you.
Products
We sell both brand new and reconditioned jewelry at extremely discounted prices. Our reconditioned jewelry has been acquired by estate sales, trade-ins, being sold to us, or through a forfeited loan.
Our jewelers recondition all of our pre-owned jewelry by hand. Most of the time we cannot even tell the difference, but it is listed in our system as new or used and the price will reflect the difference. If you are curious as to whether the jewelry you are interested in is used or brand new, please feel free to ask!
Our jewelers are experts at working with vintage and antique pieces. They will buff and polish the mountings and make sure that all gemstones are tight in their mountings. When they go out for sale they are ready for a lifetime of wear and to be passed down for generations to come!
Yes! All of our product photos are pictures of the ACTUAL item. We take high quality photos that are very close up to give you as much detail as possible when making your next jewelry purchase. You may also request additional photos of any item if you would like to see additional angles or view it worn.
No! We have several one-of-a-kind pieces within our inventory that we cannot reorder. However, those items can be resized to some extent. We also have a few other items in our inventory that we can reorder in the perfect size for you. Please reach out to us if you have any questions.
The current size of the bracelet is on the product page. We are happy to size your watch for you prior to shipping. Just let us know what circumference you would like the watch to be. If you need extra links, please contact us before you place your order.
Yes! We can provide other dials and bezels to make the Rolex perfect for you! Please contact us if you are interested.
If a watch has original box and/or papers it will be stated and the picture of the box and paperwork will be shown. Otherwise, the watch will come with a Castle Jewelry hardwood presentation box and the watch will have been discounted accordingly. Many of our customers prefer the savings when there are no box and papers.

A lot of our jewelry is one-of-a-kind items. However, sometimes we might have a similar item that would be perfect for you! Please give us a call at 859-309-0041 to see what we have!
You are able to request jewelry to be sent to another location. However, we do require a 20% deposit of the total purchase price to have it sent over. You may refund the deposit for the full amount minus a $15 shipping & insurance fee should you decide against the piece once you've had a chance to see it. Please bear in mind that it can take up to a week to have something transferred.
