Unlike liquid assets, jewelry requires specialized knowledge to value and liquidate. Executors frequently encounter situations that slow resolution and increase liability exposure.
Outdated appraisals that don't reflect current market conditions — creating uncertainty and potential disputes among beneficiaries.
Emotional attachment and family dynamics that complicate what should be a straightforward asset disposition.
Fiduciary liability exposure when asset disposition decisions cannot be clearly explained or justified.
Our focus is liquidation and resolution — one appointment, a fair and transparent offer, and a final outcome that professionals can stand behind.
Identification & Sorting
We sort and assess items for liquidation purposes — identifying what is sellable at market, what is not worth liquidating, and what may warrant different handling (significant stones, items with strong retail or collector appeal, or pieces a family may wish to retain).
At Our Wayland Square Showroom
Every collection is photographed and receipted when received. Evaluation takes place at our Wayland Square showroom over one to two weeks, assessed by specialists using professional testing equipment — at our convenient East Side location.
An Honest Offer
We make an offer for the lot, based on current market conditions for metals and prevailing values for diamonds and estate pieces. Acceptance is entirely at the client's discretion — there is no obligation and no pressure to proceed.
Immediate Local Liquidation
No shipping. No auctions. No waiting periods. No market exposure risk. Everything is handled locally, in person, with a single clean transaction. Payment is issued upon acceptance of the offer.
Gold & Platinum
All karats and forms — fine jewelry, broken pieces and estate items. Priced against current spot market, with consideration given to items with value beyond their metal content.
Diamonds & Fine Gemstones
Diamonds and select fine gemstones, whether loose or set in jewelry. Evaluated against current market values.
Estate & Antique Jewelry
Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, and mid-century pieces. Signed and designer pieces evaluated individually.
Coins & Bullion
Gold and silver coins, bullion bars, and numismatic items. Evaluated on metal content and collector value.
Sterling Silver
Flatware, hollowware, and silver jewelry.
Please note: silver purchasing is temporarily suspended due to industry-wide refining conditions. We will resume purchasing as soon as the market allows.
Select Watches
Important luxury timepieces from established manufacturers evaluated on condition, reference, and current secondary market values.
We offer written fair market value appraisals for estate jewelry and precious metals when required for estate administration or reporting. For fiduciaries who need a single, reliable local resource for all aspects of jewelry and precious metals disposition — from appraisal through liquidation — we are glad to be that resource.
- Item categories and descriptions
- Weight and purity where applicable
- Methodology of pricing, clearly explained
- Date and relevant market context
In our experience, not every estate requires a formal appraisal for liquidation purposes. We are glad to discuss what makes sense for a given situation, and to coordinate with counsel or accountants as needed.
Legally Trained
Our principal is a licensed attorney with litigation experience — bringing an understanding of fiduciary obligations, the discretion these matters require, and the attention to detail and professional ethics that most jewelers simply do not have.
Locally Established
A fourth-generation family business in Providence since 1934, we are a permanent part of the Rhode Island community. In an industry where reputation is everything, we are proud of the trust we have built across decades and generations.
Resolution-Focused
Our goal is a simple, fair resolution — handled with discretion and respect for everyone involved. We understand that behind every estate is a family, and we treat every engagement accordingly. A streamlined process with a fair outcome.
"I run a long-established jewelry business in Providence, and we have been handling estate jewelry and precious metal liquidations for families and executors for decades. I am also a licensed attorney, so I am particularly conscious of fiduciary concerns, documentation standards, and how things need to be reflected in estate records. We are glad to be a resource whenever this crosses your desk."
If you are managing an estate with jewelry or precious metals, we can help.
We welcome a confidential conversation at any stage of the process — before, during, or after estate administration. There is no obligation, and no pressure. We are glad to simply be a resource.
