Estate & Antique Jewelry in New Orleans

Estate jewelry usually reaches me in one of a few ways: a family settling an estate, a collector refining a collection, or someone who has kept a piece in a drawer for years and finally wants to know what it is. Whatever the reason, the conversation starts in the same place; what you have, what it is worth, and what you would like to do with it.

Selling estate jewelry and watches

I buy fine estate jewelry and watches directly: diamonds, colored gemstones, signed pieces, period jewelry and fine watches. You will get a clear offer and an explanation of how I arrived at it. If selling to me is not the best route for a particular piece, I will tell you, and point you toward the one that is.

Buying estate and antique jewelry

Estate jewelry offers what new jewelry often cannot: the workmanship of another era, and a piece no one else will be wearing. I can search the trade for something specific — a vintage engagement ring, an antique diamond, a signed piece.

For families, executors and attorneys

When jewelry is part of an estate, the first question is usually what everything is worth and how to divide it fairly. I provide written valuations for estate division, insurance and sale, and I work directly with executors, estate attorneys and trust officers when that makes things easier for the family.
