Overview & History
'Estate jewelry' covers previously owned fine jewelry of every kind: diamond and gemstone rings, gold necklaces and bracelets, brooches, pearls, and signed pieces by makers like Tiffany, Cartier, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Selling an estate's jewelry at auction reaches a wide market of collectors, dealers, and retail buyers, often realizing more than a quick cash buyer would offer. Value depends on the gemstones, metals, makers, age, and condition.
Identifying & Marks
Each piece is assessed on its gemstones (the four Cs for diamonds), precious-metal content (karat or platinum), any signed maker or hallmark, age, and condition. Our specialists appraise single pieces or entire estates.
