Navigating a parent's estate is never easy or fun. When my dad (a professional artist) passed away…read moreand our attorney suggested an appraisal (of hundreds of pieces), we had a million questions. Brady was amazing and helped tremendously, even suggesting that perhaps we didn't actually need the appraisals. In the end, we didn't, but even so, he was more than willing to talk through it, take a look, share his expertise, and help me figure out the best approach. His willingness to help even though we ultimately didn't need his services showed he's not just in this to make money. He had our best interests in mind, and we're grateful. When we DO need anything like this in the future, we will be more than confident going to him for help.

Our grandparents left our family with a house full of art and antiques and we were at a loss for…read morehow to proceed. We made a family decision to call some appraisers to provide clarity on the property. Mr. Dreasher was the only appraiser who answered the phone and was ready to talk about our situation. Upon arrival he greeted and introduced himself with business cards and addressed how we should go about making the process fast and efficient for everyone, knowing that we were still in grieving mode. He identified items we had questions about and then more noteworthy artworks and antiques for which he was able to provide restoration concerns and an estimates of value. In the end we only needed a few items formally appraised with a report, but having a knowledgeable person who gave us confidence in the appraisal process was just what our family needed at the time. Big Thanks!

I came to Indianapolis to take a class through the Hoosier State Chapter of the Appraisal…read moreInstitute. This review is strictly a review of the Chapter in relation to how well they hosted this course. I was impressed with the level of communication received from the Chapter prior to the course. I received a confirmation order after I purchased my course. I received my course materials several weeks before the course began. I also received a final reminder email in the week leading up to the course. Since the weather was MISERABLE, the only improvement in communication would have been if they would have called us the morning of to confirm that the course was not going to be delayed. There was a major snow storm, the first day of class. The Chapter made sure there was tea and coffee available during the course (thank you!). The facility was clean and the chairs were comfortable. I appreciated that there were an appropriate number of plug-ins available for everyone to use. The only had two small environment concerns: the temperature was quite cold throughout the course. Granted, it was 5 degrees outside... but I wore my vest and jacket during most of the class. Second, we used a projector in the course, and it was a bit frustrating that you could not turn the lights down in the front of the room. That would have made the projector much easier to see. Instead, we fought quite a bit of glare. All in all, thank you for hosting a well organized course!

I got to work with Mark on designing an engagement ring with a sapphire I had in mind. He was very…read morecollaborative in sketching and conceptualizing the curves and setting scheme, set up some consultations to review the design and waxes as it progressed, and made recommendations as to some of the particulars. Didn't feel pressured or any unpleasant sales-y atmosphere, and Paula was great too. Fiancée is also very pleased with the outcome! As mentioned in some of the other reviews, allow some extra time for variability in ordering things and other suppliers.

After reading the other reviews, I have to say that you can't rush quality. You want a custom,…read morebeautiful and one-of a kind ring? Well, it may take a few weeks for all kinds of reasons like ordering materials, the artist has a backlog... etc? If you want 'quick' you should go to a commercial, boring, big box jeweler. Ok, mini rant over. Let's talk about Mark and the work he has done for me and my husband. My husband wanted to have a custom engagement ring made for me. He had a design in mind and a recommendation from a family member to see Mark. Mark gave great advice on sizing, diamond quality and integrity of the band design. He even showed my husband the difference between Russian and Israeli cut diamonds (um, huge difference). Without Mark's advice I would have gotten a ring from somewhere else that needs adjusting all the time (I had a lot of single prong stuff in mind for the band, bad idea) . Mark can also order directly from a manufacturer, which is what we did for our wedding bands. It's cheaper than custom and, like another reviewer said, the prices are clearly stated in the manufacturer's ordering book at market prices. In the end the design I wanted had already been made - so why have it done at a custom price? I appreciated Mark's honesty and transparency on that decision. Lastly, Mark and his wife are kind and fair people. No pressuring you into something you don't want or can't afford. We had a great buying experience for all three purchases so far.

I live nowhere near here but was intrigued by their reputation for estate jewelry after seeing one…read moreof their billboards. It's smaller than I expected, but they do have an excellent selection of estate pieces, in addition to more modern items. I'm not sure how they're usually set up as they were doing a trunk show, but they kindly got out the estate jewelry that had been put away and let me look at all of it. If you're looking for something in particular, ask - owner Brian had a couple of pieces on his desk and brought them out too. Pricing is reasonable with a few real bargains. If you ask they'll show you the display in the back office where there is an astonishing two vitrines full of amazing pieces the owner loved too much to sell. Very much worth a stop.

Midwest Jewelers and Estate Buyers was the only place open on Monday at 9am. I mentioned this when…read moreI walked in and they said SO many people pop in before/after breakfast saying that EXACT same thing! I'm so glad they were open because this place is a GEM! They have a few designers with a case full of pieces and then they also carry bins of estate finds! You're able to try on things from the cases but also you're able to dig through the bins! I found a bin of brooches- all $10 each. I walked out with... ten!!! I also tried on a few stackable rings! Make sure you take a peak at the pieces in the windows too! (That's what drew me in!) The people here are lovely and want to hear your story. Thanks for being open early for early birds like me!
