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.

Efficient Turnaround: We value your time. Our processes are streamlined to ensure quick evaluations and prompt payments.
Age of the Piece: An item's age often tells a story, reflecting periods of design and history. Whether it's an art deco ring or a contemporary necklace, the era can influence its value.
Condition: The wear and tear, restoration, or any damages are meticulously assessed. An impeccable condition can significantly enhance a piece's worth.
Designer Recognition: Items crafted by renowned designers or brands typically carry a premium. We consider the reputation and influence of the creator in our evaluation.
Provenance: The origin or the history of ownership can add an intangible value to a piece, especially if linked to notable events or personalities.
Scarcity: Rare items or those with limited production often command higher prices. Our team recognizes and values the rarity of each unique piece.
Desirability: Market trends, popular demand, and contemporary appeal play a role. What's in vogue can significantly impact an item's market value.
All evaluations conducted by our experienced team are complimentary.
No matter the size of your collection, our goal is to provide clear, informed, and transparent assessments without any fees.
We offer payment through wire, check, and occasionally cash.
