Retail for used jewelry is quite different. What you paid back in the day, what it's worth to replace, what it's worth to insure.

Inherited jewelry is a lot about the memory of a loved one. Thanks for your assistance!

Mike and Sam are amazing! They took exceptional care with each piece of my late mother's and…read moremother-in-law's heirloom jewelry, carefully explaining every item along the way. I learned the approximate age of several pieces, what each appraisal included, and received a clear cost estimate upfront, so there were no surprises at the end. They worked seamlessly as a team, and my completed appraisal was finished much sooner than I expected. The professionalism, attention to detail, and level of care they demonstrated were unlike anything I've experienced with a jewelry appraisal before. I highly recommend Mike Cortez and his staff. This is an exceptionally well-run business that operates with the highest level of excellence. I've already referred family members and will continue to recommend them to others. They are truly a class act.

I picked up the repair jewelry today and it all looked excellent and they actually didn't charge me for one of them. Funny enough I had a break in a different part of the jewelry and brought that in so they can repair and just so happened to stumble upon something they had put out that morning and purchased it right then. Without even asking, they were kind enough to give me a discount, which was honestly a very fair price. If you're looking for a family own location with nice jewelry, nice attitudes, and fair prices look no further.

It was a true pleasure to work with Vickie Adams. I contacted her after the passing of my Aunt to…read morehelp handle her estate. I had called several appraisers in the area and she was the first one to get back to me. I immediately had a level of comfort with her. She was professional and incredibly experienced but easy to talk to. She was willing to travel all the way to my aunt's property, about 45 miles away-- but can be several hours in traffic (thank you, Southern California!) Vicky handled my aunt's large estate with such care. My aunt and I were incredibly close and Vickie was working with very valuable family heirlooms-- that, at first, I was nervous for anyone to touch. Vickie was extremely professional and I had complete trust in her to handle these precious items. She provided a very thorough report-- and our estate attorney said it was one of the best reports she'd seen by far-- I think she's even recommending Vickie to her other clients now. This process was stressful and overwhelming at times, but we are so grateful for Vickie for taking so much of the stress off our shoulders. She has our highest recommendation and more importantly, our trust.

I think people find it hard to let go of things that have been in the family for years but there…read morecomes a time when all those 'things' become a responsibility. Emotionally, you want to keep it all but practically, it doesn't make sense. Andrea was the 3rd estate sales person we contacted and she was the only one who was honest and transparent about the process. Most of us have gone to garage sales and found something we like/want and paid far less than the value. Estate sales are no different and some of the posters need to understand that. You have to leave emotion at the door. What I can tell you is that Andrea didn't try to rip us off as the other two did by misleading how much some heirloom silver could be sold for. She and her team showed up and did the work while remaining flexible to our needs to get other work done at the house. So yes, I highly recommend Andrea if you want to truth about the value of what you have and someone who will take full ownership of the process.

The sale starts and owner decides that she would give the 1st person in line the courtesy tour for 3 minutes to show her the location of everything the 1st person is interested in. So because you are 10 seconds later than the 1st person, you are heavily punished. By the time the sale starts, not even the 2nd or 3rd has the chance to buy anything.
