I went into this jewelers with no idea of what I wanted. The store was beautifully laid out and the staff was very knowledgeable and courteous. There was absolutely no pressure! I walked out not only a great deal smarter, but with a lovely piece of jewelry.

What Constitutes As DC Area Estate Jewelry?
Estate pieces can be defined as pieces that have had a previous owner.
However, this doesn’t have to mean that the estate piece was owned by someone who has passed. Many people who have sold their estate jewelry to stores such as ours are still living.
While the previous owners of “estate jewelry” have sold their jewelry for whatever reason, this does not change the piece’s status.
Another common misconception is that age has nothing to do with whether or not a piece of jewelry is considered an estate piece. Many pieces of jewelry may be over 50-150+ years old; however, the determining factor remains with the previous ownership.
