A Jewelry Buyer Mount Prospect Families Call First
Mount Prospect's postwar subdivisions were built for young families in the 1950s and 60s — and many of those original owners never left. Sixty years in one house means costume jewelry bought at long-gone department stores, sterling wedding flatware, and coin collections assembled a few pieces at a time.
That era matters to us as buyers. Mid-century costume jewelry is one of our specialties, and we buy fine jewelry, gold and silver, and coins from the same period. Ivan and Diane Bilic bring nearly 40 years of combined experience to every evaluation.
If you're helping a parent move out of the family home, our guide to selling a parents' collection walks through the process step by step.
The Mount Prospect Collection Nobody Expected
From the ranch homes around Lions Park to the streets near downtown Central Road, we keep finding the same thing: collections dismissed as 'just old stuff' that turn out to include signed costume pieces, sterling sets, and silver coins worth real money.
Mid-Century Expertise
Postwar homes hold postwar jewelry. We know the designers, the marks, and the collector market for pieces from the 1940s through the 1970s.
Nothing Overlooked
We check every box, drawer, and dresser-top tray during a visit — the valuable pieces are rarely the ones families expect.
Free, Unhurried Evaluation
Take your time deciding. The evaluation is free whether you sell one piece or nothing at all.

Mount Prospect Jewelry Questions
Very often, yes. Signed mid-century pieces — Trifari, Eisenberg, Miriam Haskell, Weiss — are exactly what shows up in postwar-era homes, and good signed costume jewelry has a real collector market. We identify makers and value every group before you decide what to sell.
We come to you. We work by appointment and regularly meet clients in Mount Prospect — at your home, a bank, or wherever suits you. There's no office to find and no obligation attached to the visit.
Yes. We buy jewelry, coins, sterling, watches, and collectibles in one visit, and if the rest of the home needs clearing, our property cleanout service can manage that too. One call usually covers both.
Don't sort it into jars or sell it by the pound — inherited collections often hide key dates and silver content worth far more than face value. Bring it to us as-is; we evaluate coin collections piece by piece and explain what drives the value.
We show our work — metal testing, weight, maker's marks, and current market demand are all explained in front of you. Decatique Studios has been buying since 2010 and holds an eBay Top Rated record of 99.7% positive feedback across 11,000+ items sold.
