Buying, Selling, Valuations and Appraisals
What do you have?
And what should you do with it?
Most of us have jewelry we no longer wear.
Some of it was inherited. Some no longer fits our lives or our tastes. And some has simply been sitting in a jewelry box for so long that no one quite remembers what it is.
So where do you start—and who do you ask?
Start by understanding what you have.
I provide independent valuations and appraisals of jewelry, gemstones and watches, drawing on more than 30 years of experience in the jewelry industry.
From there, the interesting question becomes:
What should we do with it?
Sometimes the answer is to keep it.
Sometimes it should be properly appraised and insured.
Sometimes an old piece has all the ingredients for something wonderful and simply needs to be reimagined.
And sometimes it's time to sell.
If it's time to sell.
One of the great misconceptions about selling jewelry is that there is a single "market."
There isn't.
A signed vintage jewel, an important gemstone, a fine watch and a piece valued primarily for its precious metal are very different things. Knowing where each belongs can make a meaningful difference in the result.
Over more than three decades in the business, I've built a worldwide network of trusted relationships that allows me to identify the right market—and the right approach—for each piece.
My role is to know the difference—and know where to go.
I handle the process personally and discreetly, from the initial evaluation through the eventual sale.
Or maybe we shouldn't sell it at all.
This is where being independent matters.
I'm not approaching your jewelry with a predetermined answer.
A diamond from a ring you haven't worn in twenty years might become something you wear every day. Family gemstones might find a new life. An overlooked piece might turn out to be considerably more interesting than anyone realized.
And occasionally the smartest thing to do is absolutely nothing.
Keep it. Wear it. Give it to someone you love.
The objective isn't to create a transaction.
It's to make a good decision.
Have something you're curious about?
A single ring is enough.
So is the jewelry box that's been sitting in the closet for fifteen years.
You don't need to know exactly what you have, what it's worth or what you want to do with it.
A conversation is usually the best place to start.
