Revere Jewelers was founded in 2010 by Steve Hami at 9250 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 224 in Beverly Hills — and has operated from the same address, with the same ownership, and the same commitment to client trust ever since. The business holds a BBB A+ accreditation, maintained continuously since founding.
Steve Hami's career in gemology and fine jewelry spans more than four decades. He began in the trade working every facet of the industry: buying, selling, appraisal, and global acquisition. Over those forty years, he developed an unusually complete command of the market — not as a specialist in one area, but as someone who has sat on every side of the transaction.
Retail Roots — and What They Mean for You
One distinction that sets Steve Hami apart from other buyers is his direct experience partnering with major luxury designers to supply fine jewelry to Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. That retail background gives him an insider's understanding of exactly what signed designer pieces are worth — not as commodity metal and stones, but as branded objects with independent market value. When Steve evaluates a Cartier Love bracelet, a Van Cleef Alhambra necklace, or a Tiffany solitaire, he knows its retail provenance, its secondary market demand, and what premium the name justifiably commands.
The Direct Buyer Advantage
Revere Jewelers is a direct buyer — not a broker, not a consignment shop, and not an auction intermediary. Steve works with an international network of premium wholesale buyers spanning the diamond market, the luxury watch secondary market, and the signed jewelry collector market. By connecting clients directly to that network — without commission layers, appraisal fees, or auction house premiums of 15–25% — Revere Jewelers is consistently able to offer significantly more than competitors whose business models require building in multiple margin layers before they can make a payment.
The model is simple: you bring your piece, Steve evaluates it personally, explains his methodology in plain language, and makes a transparent offer. You decide. There is never pressure, never a deadline, and never a hidden fee.
A Private Suite, Not a Public Counter
The Revere Jewelers office is located on the second floor of a professional building on Wilshire Boulevard — by appointment only. There is no public showroom, no display counter, and no walk-in traffic. Every client receives Steve Hami's complete, undivided attention in a secure, private environment. Your name, the details of your items, and the terms of any transaction are never shared, never published, and never discussed outside the suite.

No Staff Intermediaries — Ever
At Revere Jewelers, there are no junior appraisers, no sales staff, and no intermediaries of any kind. Every evaluation is performed by Steve Hami personally. The person you speak with on the phone, the person who greets you at the suite, and the person who evaluates your jewelry are all the same person — the owner and lead gemologist with 40 years of expertise. This is rare in the industry, and it matters: it means your evaluation is never delegated to someone less experienced, and the offer you receive reflects the full depth of Steve's knowledge, not a junior estimate adjusted upward for approval.
