- Gold jewelry, gold watches, and scrap gold
- Sterling silver flatware and hollowware
- Designer pieces from Tiffany, Cartier, Yurman, Rolex, Mikimoto, and more

Need Help Sorting a Wilmette Estate First?
If the estate feels too mixed to price on the spot, Mike can schedule a verbal appraisal or consultation for sellers in Wilmette. That service is especially useful when the jewelry box includes scrap gold, sterling silver, diamond rings, designer pieces, and a few heirlooms that deserve individual attention.
The first hour is $150, and each additional hour is $100. If you sell during the appointment, that fee is waived. Therefore, you can start with guidance and still move quickly when the offer is right.
- Useful for inherited estates and family collections
