Frequently Asked Questions

  • The value of estate jewelry varies greatly depending on several factors: condition, craftsmanship quality, gold and gemstone weights, and designer signatures, among others. While an official offer requires an in-person inspection, our team of buying experts can provide an estimated range based on photos and documentation of the pieces. If you’re interested in moving forward, we’ll schedule an in- person evaluation at our 5th Avenue showroom or, for substantial collections, at the location of your choice

  • While there are many locations to sell vintage jewelry in NYC, purchasing estate jewelry requires a deeper level of expertise.

    Auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby’s have expert buyers of estate jewelry, but selling jewelry at auction has downsides. There is no guaranteed selling price, and payment often involves long wait times.

    Online resellers such as Circa and The Real Real focus primarily on contemporary designer jewelry, making them less suitable for estate pieces.

    A third, option is selling estate jewelry to a reputable private buyer. This approach combines the expertise of auction houses with none of the guesswork or lengthy waiting periods. Windsor Jewelers, Inc. fills this market void, offering a fair price for your estate jewelry with the assurance of expert evaluation and prompt payment.

  • Windsor Jewelers purchases fine jewelry from all periods and styles, including:

    • 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 pieces, or vintage engagement rings, Windsor Jewelers, Inc. offers expertise spanning all periods, gemstones, and designers. Our team of experts possesses a wealth of knowledge to accurately evaluate and purchase your fine jewelry.

  • For clients with high- end jewelry, choosing a partner who truly understands and values these unique items is essential.

    While auction houses specialize in high-end jewelry, their process often involves weeks or months of waiting and offers no guarantee on the final selling price. Moreover, these transactions are public. Standard online resellers like Circa or The RealReal specialize in contemporary jewelry under $10,000 but lack the expertise to evaluate exceptional pieces properly.

    Windsor Jewelers, Inc., on the other hand, is a reputable private buyer of estate jewelry and offers an ideal alternative. As expert buyers of estate jewelry, we combine the knowledge of auction houses with the benefits of immediate payment and confidential transactions. This approach ensures your clients' high-end jewelry receives proper valuation and discreet handling.

  • Selling to a private jewelry buyer offers distinct advantages. Private buyers, like Windsor Jewelers, provide personalized customer service and swift transactions. Depending on your collection's size, an entire appointment can take as little as 30 minutes. Perhaps most importantly, unlike auction houses, private buyers offer immediate cash payments. This means you can walk away from your appointment with a check in hand, avoiding the lengthy waiting periods associated with auctions.

  • When considering where to sell old jewelry and estate pieces, you need a buyer who understands vintage items and can help you find the right buyer to ensure they’re sold for the best price. Windsor Jewelers, Inc. prides itself on a broad range of expertise spanning more than four decades.

    As estate jewelers, our team assists clients with selling various pieces, including:

    • Antique and jewelry, vintage jewelry,

    • Period pieces (Art Deco and Edwardian jewelry),

    • Engagement rings,

    • Gold and diamond jewelry.

    If you want to sell online, we help find potential buyers and secure the true value of your items. Our evaluation process determines fair market prices for your jewelry pieces,  including how much buyers might be willing to pay. 

    While we specialize in signed pieces from renowned  jewelers like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, we also purchase jewelry from diverse periods and styles, ranging from Art Deco to contemporary designs.
