Frequently Asked Questions

The value of estate jewelry can vary greatly depending on the condition, quality of the craftsmanship, gold and gemstone weights, whether it’s signed by a designer, among other factors. While it’s impossible to provide an official offer without an in person inspection, our team of buying experts will provide an estimated range based on photos and documentation of the pieces and if you’re interested in moving forward, we’ll schedule an in person evaluation at our 5th Avenue showroom or at the location of your choice, if the collection is of substantial size.
While there are many locations to sell fine jewelry in NYC, buying estate jewelry requires a deeper level of expertise.
Auction houses such as Christie's and Sotheby’s have experts on staff who are buyers of estate jewelry, selling jewelry at auction has its downsides. There is no guarantee on your selling price in addition to the long wait times required for payment.
Online resellers such as Circa and The Real Real focus primarily on purchasing contemporary designer jewelry, making them a less viable option for estate jewelry.
However a third, more niche, option to selling estate jewelry is with a reputable private buyer. Selling to a private company with reputable buyers gives you the expertise associated with auction houses with none of the guessing or long wait time. This allows Windsor Jewelers, Inc. to fill a void in the market to sell jewelry for a fair price.
Windsor purchases all periods and styles of fine jewelry:
- Antique and estate jewelry
- Vintage jewelry
- Art Deco jewelry
- Edwardian jewelry
- Art Nouveau jewelry
- Gold jewelry
- Diamond jewelry
- Designer watches
- Pre owned jewelry
Whether your client is selling vintage jewelry, antique jewelry, or vintage engagement rings, Windsor Jewelers, Inc. has a wealth of knowledge spanning all periods, gemstones, and designers. Learn more about our team of experts here.

If your clients have high end jewelry, it’s important to choose a partner who truly understands and values these special items. Your standard online resellers, such as Circa or The Real Real, won’t have the expertise to evaluate this level of jewelry, as they specialize in contemporary jewelry under $10,000.
While auction houses do specialize in high end jewelry, selling through their platform requires weeks or months of waiting in addition to no guarantee on the item’s selling price. Not to mention the public nature of these transactions.
Selling high end jewelry through a reputable private buyer, such as Windsor Jewelers, Inc., gives you the expertise associated with auction houses in addition to immediate payment and confidential transactions.
Selling to a private jewelry buyer has its advantages. Because the company is likely a small business, you can expect personalized customer service. Additionally, smaller businesses are able to complete transactions in a more timely manner. Depending on the size of your collection, the entire appointment can take as little as 30 minutes. And unlike auction houses, private buyers offer immediate cash payments so you can walk away from your appointment with a check.
Windsor Jewelers, Inc. prides itself on having a wide variety of expertise than spans more than four decades.
As estate jewelers, our team of buyers can assist your clients with everything from selling antique jewelry, vintage jewelry, and period pieces like Art Deco jewelry and Edwardian jewelry, to engagement rings, gold jewelry, and diamond jewelry.
Although we specialize in signed pieces from famous jewelers such as Cartier and Van Cleef and Aprels, we also buy jewelry from a wide range of periods and styles, everything from Art Deco to contemporary gold jewelry.
