KATZ IMPORTS · JEWELERS’ ROW SINCE 1979
Your jeweler for life.
A family-owned jewelry business on Philadelphia’s historic Jewelers’ Row. From finding the right diamond to creating, repairing and caring for the pieces that matter to you, Katz Imports is here for every chapter. Visit by appointment for personal guidance and our full attention.
A JEWELRY RESOURCE, BY APPOINTMENT
Find the diamond. Create the ring. Restore the watch. Reimagine something you already own. Tell us what you need—we’ll take it from there.
One jeweler. For everything that comes next.
An engagement ring might bring you to Katz Imports. Years later, it could be an anniversary gift, a watch repair or a box of inherited jewelry you’re unsure what to do with.
You’ll have the same family to call—Todd, Howard and Zack—with the experience and relationships to help you figure it out.

ESTATE JEWELRY BUYING
Have estate jewelry to sell?
A single piece or an inherited collection. Start with a free verbal evaluation and a conversation about selling, with zero obligation.
ESTATE JEWELRY BUYING →DIAMOND JEWELRY
The diamond is just the beginning.
An engagement ring, a tennis bracelet, an eternity band or the necklace you’ve had in mind—we’ll help you find it or create it.
We source natural and lab-grown diamonds in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colors, along with finished diamond jewelry. Bring a photo, an idea or a budget. We’ll walk you through the options.

CUSTOM & REPURPOSE
Your idea. Made on Jewelers’ Row.
Start with a sketch, a saved photo or a piece you already own. We’ll help turn it into jewelry that feels like you.
From CAD design through setting and finishing, your piece is made by craftsmen here on the Row. Working locally keeps us close to every detail and helps us move quickly.
EXPLORE CUSTOM & REPURPOSING →WATCHES
Source it. Restore it.
Looking for a particular watch? If you have a reference number, we can find it. Have something to sell or trade? We can help with that, too.
And sometimes, the watch you want is already in your drawer. From movement service to bracelet restoration, crystal replacement and case refinishing where appropriate, we can help bring it back into your rotation.

REPAIRS & RESTORATION
Back where it belongs. On you.
A ring that no longer fits. A broken chain. A loose stone. The bracelet you stopped wearing because the clasp won’t hold.
From everyday repairs to restoring well-loved pieces, we’ll take a look, explain what’s needed and help you wear them again.
Missing one diamond stud? We can source a match that looks right beside the original—considering size, cut, color and overall appearance.
EXPLORE REPAIRS & RESTORATION →GEMSTONES
A little more color.
There’s more to jewelry than diamonds. From sapphires, rubies and emeralds to something harder to find, we source gemstones across shapes, sizes and colors—with or without grading reports.
A loose stone. A replacement. The starting point for a custom piece. Tell us the gemstone you’re looking for. We’ll take it from there.
LASER & HAND ENGRAVING
Make it personal.
Initials, a meaningful date or a message only the two of you understand. Laser and hand engraving are available for rings, jewelry and other suitable items. Bring us your idea—we’ll confirm what works for the piece and material.
ASK ABOUT ENGRAVING →FULLY INSURED SHIPPING
Fully insured shipping.
Shipping to or from Katz Imports? Contact us first to discuss the items and their value so we can confirm full insurance coverage. Shipments are arranged through FedEx next-day delivery, with signature required.
Sending items for evaluation or a purchase offer? We provide a prepaid label. If you accept our offer, Katz Imports covers shipping. If you decline, we return your items—you pay only the return shipping cost.
CONTACT US BEFORE SHIPPING →PROFESSIONAL APPRAISALS
Time for an updated appraisal?
An appraisal tucked away years ago may no longer reflect what it would cost to replace your jewelry today.
Katz Imports provides professional written appraisals for insurance. Bring your jewelry and any existing paperwork—we’ll help you understand what needs updating.
Wondering what you could sell it for? We can help with that, too. Insurance replacement value and resale value serve different purposes, and we’ll explain the difference.

Gold you no longer wear. An inherited collection. A diamond, watch or sterling silver flatware set sitting unused.
Through Katz for Gold, we’ll help you understand what you have and what it may be worth. We evaluate the whole piece, including any value beyond its precious metal weight.
Free verbal evaluation. Zero obligation. Immediate payment available if you accept our offer.

OUR STORY
It all started as gold buyers.
Todd and Howard Katz began as gold buyers before building Katz Imports into a wholesale diamond and jewelry business, with relationships stretching from Philadelphia to New York and Antwerp.
Today, Todd, Howard and Zack bring that experience to a personal, by-appointment jewelry business on Jewelers’ Row.
The business has grown. The relationships have lasted. And yes—we still buy gold.
