Estate or Heirloom Jewelry

The focus of this site is “Estate or Heirloom Jewelry”.   This includes jewelry which is a part of an estate that is both aesthetically and monetarily significant to those involved.   These pieces are not for all.   Properly evaluated and purchased, it is a presence that should escalate in value with every new generation and in doing so, preserve the value of the estate.   It can be enjoyed and cherished by all.  And it can also be recognized as a continuing investment for a family estate.

The well-traveled know that a “diversity of assets” is essential and prudent in today’s changing times.   Investments in property, securities, gold and silver, businesses, and of course jewelry are all recognized as interests that can increase in time and offer an opportunity to secure the value of your estate in this changing world.  Jewelry has always been an avenue used to preserve family wealth for at least a couple of thousand years, and I believe it always will be.

In an estate sale – the value of the collection(s) is primarily determined by the maker of the work, the feature stones and most important their quality.  If the primary stones are of limited quality, the collection will be of limited value.
