Selling Inherited Jewelry in NYC: What You Should Know

Selling inherited jewelry can be an emotional process. Whether you've inherited a single piece or an entire collection, this guide helps you navigate the practical aspects of selling in NYC.

Take Your Time

There's no rush. Sort through the items, identify anything with sentimental value you want to keep, and set aside pieces you're considering selling. Don't clean or repair antique pieces — leave them as they are.

Gather Documentation

Look for appraisals, receipts, certificates, and original boxes. Any documentation helps the buyer evaluate the items more accurately and can sometimes increase value.
