A Discreet Buyer for a Small Village
Harwood Heights is barely a square mile — a pocket of brick ranches and two-flats tucked along Harlem Avenue, where neighbors know each other and families put down roots for generations. When a parent passes or a move to a smaller place comes, the question of what to do with decades of jewelry, gold, and sterling lands quietly, and usually on one person's shoulders.
Ivan and Diane Bilic handle these situations with the privacy they deserve. Founded in 2010, Decatique Studios buys gold and silver, fine jewelry, and costume pieces — and our guide to selling a parents' collection walks through the process before we ever ring the bell.
