Keep and restore
If a piece is wearable and meaningful, restoration may be worth considering.
Worth settling before anything is sold, because a piece that gets worn again is not a piece you needed to sell.

Redesign it
Inherited stones and gold can be reworked into something that gets worn.
The material stays in the family and comes back as a piece in use rather than a piece in a drawer.
Custom design in HonoluluSell selectively
Keep the pieces that matter to the family and sell the rest.
Common with a mixed collection, where a few pieces carry the history and the others do not.

Ask about selling estate jewelryAppraisal, valuation, offer
An insurance appraisal, a fair market valuation and a resale offer answer different questions, so they rarely match.
Working out which number applies to your situation is usually the most useful thing to settle first. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the situation when you get in touch.

A word on Hawaiian heirloom bracelets
If the collection includes a Hawaiian heirloom bracelet with a name engraved on it, it is worth a conversation before selling. These carry a family history, and their value to the family is often higher than their value to a buyer.
