We are proud to offer a transparent, secure process. In 2025, we purchased over $3.1M in antique and vintage jewelry.
To illustrate how Abbott & Oaks values estate jewelry differently, we assembled five representative pieces and obtained offers from common resale channels: jewelry stores, pawn shops, and auction houses. Those offers were then compared with the prices Abbott & Oaks paid when acquiring these same pieces across several private collections.
It starts with photos. Send us pictures of your jewelry or collection and we'll follow up within one business day with an estimated range. If you decide to move forward, we send a prepaid, fully insured shipping label, evaluate every piece in person, and make you a written offer — no fees, no obligation to sell.
Our team evaluates each piece on six factors: age, condition, material, provenance, rarity, and current market demand. A signed Art Deco ring and a contemporary gold chain are valued on completely different terms, and we walk you through the reasoning behind every offer.
Fine jewelry, estate and antique pieces, gold, and complete collections. If you are working through an inherited jewelry box, send it all — we regularly evaluate mixed collections and will tell you honestly which pieces have value and which do not. We do not purchase silver, loose gemstones, or pearls.
No. All evaluations are complimentary, no matter the size of your collection. There are no fees anywhere in our process, and we cover insurance and shipping costs for every evaluation.
For purchases under $7,500, we mail you a check. Above $7,500, you can choose a check or an ACH transfer directly to your bank. Payment is issued once your signed sales agreement is complete.
