If you find yourself in the unenviable position of being in charge of liquidating an estate, the process can feel overwhelming at first. Luckily there are plenty of resources to help you learn how to sell the estate, and what each item may be worth.
Professional Appraisals of Estate Jewelry
The first step is to take plenty of time to go through all of the items in the estate. Being organized will make the process much easier, and you should set aside any type of jewelry and other items you think might be valuable.
Once you’ve conducted your own inventory, it’s time to find a reputable precious metals and jewelry expert, like those at Bellevue Rare Coins. The experienced professional can perform an accurate appraisal of the estate jewelry to give the best idea of its value.

Cleaning Estate Jewelry
Once you know what that estate jewelry is worth, you’ll want to make sure it looks great and catches the eye of prospective buyers. This means you may want to clean the jewelry before you sell it. It is critical that you know how to properly clean jewelry without damaging it before you begin this process. Typically the best way to clean jewelry is by using a soft toothbrush and a combination of mild soap and warm water, but be sure to do your research before you do so.
