A Jewelry Buyer Evanston Families Trust
Evanston's older homes hold generations of jewelry — from Art Deco engagement rings to boxes of mid-century costume pieces. When it's time to settle an estate or simplify before a move, knowing what you actually have is the hard part.
Ivan and Diane Bilic bring nearly 40 years of combined experience to every evaluation. We buy fine jewelry, costume jewelry, gold and silver, and coins — and we explain every offer before you decide.
Downsizing in Evanston? Start With the Jewelry Box
Moves from longtime Evanston homes to condos and senior living near Northwestern often surface decades of accumulated jewelry, sterling, and coins. We make that part easy.
One Visit, Everything Evaluated
We sort the whole collection in a single appointment — fine, costume, sterling, and coins — so nothing valuable gets donated or tossed by mistake.
No Pressure to Sell
Our evaluation is free whether or not you sell. Many families use it simply to divide items fairly among siblings before a move.
Whole-Home Help Available
If the move involves more than jewelry, our property cleanout service can handle the rest of the estate respectfully and efficiently.
