Estate Jewelry Appraisal and Buying
Jewelry is often the most valuable part of an estate and the hardest to price. Our estate jewelry appraisal helps you understand what pieces are worth before you decide how to sell them. As estate jewelry buyers, we can also make an offer on gold, silver, diamond, and watch pieces directly, so a jewelry estate sale doesn't have to be your only option. Offers on gold and silver are based on the current spot price.
Inherited jewelry you'd rather keep or reinvest? Here's how to turn inherited jewelry into an investment. For specific items, see our diamond exchange and luxury watch services.
Estate Liquidation Services
Not every estate needs a public sale. Our estate liquidation services can combine a direct buyout of valuables, consignment of higher-end pieces, and a traditional sale for everything else, depending on what fits your timeline and goals.
