Our world faces unprecedented problems. Why do we still care about jewelry? Long ago, when someone decided to make the first shell necklace around 100,000 years ago, amulets worn as jewelry were thought to be "charms, " that is, magical objects that invoked invisible forces to protect their wearers from a terrifying, mysterious world. Through the centuries, jewelry came to mark the stopping places along the way of life's journey, as signs of power and status and love.
All the while, gold, which was the first money, and gemstones - with their beauty, durability and rarity - grew into a form of highly concentrated (thus portable) and readily cashable wealth. History shows that jewelry will always be a part of the human experience. As the centuries have passed we've understood more about how the world works, and that only human awareness can serve as its conscience.
Today we care about the effects of mining on the environments in the mostly poor countries where precious raw materials come from.

Let's talk about how to sell your jewelry - and how much money you can get for it.
I base my Broker's Price Opinion on my thirty years of experience selling more than $2 million worth of jewelry of all kinds for more than one thousand clients, including private owners, estates, heirs, attorneys, banks, and charitable foundations.
I start by estimating the price I expect your jewelry to sell for and how long it will take - depending on who's buying it, an end user or someone in the jewelry trade.
