Jewelry Collection Consultation & Personal Jewelry Catalog
$150/hour
This service may be right for you if you have jewelry you are uncertain about and want help identifying, organizing, and documenting it — without assigning any monetary values.
You’ve inherited or been gifted jewelry and don’t know where to start.
You have a parent downsizing or moving into senior living.
You have a collection that needs to be documented for planning purposes.
Your family members need help understanding distribution options.
You need help determining which pieces may warrant an appraisal.
During the Jewelry Collection Consultation, your jewelry is examined, photographed, described, and organized into a personalized jewelry catalog, giving you a clearer understanding of what you own.
All photography and examination of the jewelry are completed on-site at the time of the appointment.
The final personal jewelry catalog will be sent to the client upon completion of documentation and organization.
If an appraisal is recommended during the consultation, a portion of the consultation fee associated with examining and documenting that piece will be applied toward the appraisal fee.
A deposit of $150 is required to reserve an appointment and is applied toward the consultation total.
