How Ruby Replaced Emerald as the Troubled Prodigy in the Gemstone Marketplace

Here are three inquiries I’ve received this month through my website:

“I am interested in getting some of my jewelry appraised so that I can sell it.”

“I own a diamond ring and wish to sell it; first, an appraisal is needed.”

“I have a platinum and diamond wedding ring that I wish to have appraised for the purpose of selling it.”

Welcome to my completely renovated website! I used conventional mail to send my first newsletter in July 1998, and my last in that form in Spring 2004. One consistent feature throughout those twenty-five or so missives was "Estate Jewelry Finds," featuring some of the best pre-owned jewelry that happened my way. Often they were from trade sources; but, as is always the case, the best values came from private owners, who have entrusted their pieces with me to sell on their behalf since I opened my own business in May 1991.
