Honest Jewelry Buying in the Heart of Norridge
Norridge calls itself the "village within a city," and its postwar brick ranches have sheltered the same families for half a century or more. That kind of rootedness produces remarkable estates: wedding sets from the 1950s, sterling that came out only at holidays, and jewelry boxes layered with pieces from every decade since.
Ivan and Diane Bilic bring nearly 40 years of combined experience to each appointment. We buy costume jewelry, fine jewelry, gold, silver, and sterling — and if you're working through a parent's estate, see how we approach selling a parents' collection.
Clearing a Norridge Ranch? Evaluate Before You Donate
The single most expensive mistake in estate cleanouts is donating or discarding jewelry before it's evaluated. We sort everything in one visit — so the signed Trifari brooch doesn't leave the house in a charity bag.
Evaluate First, Donate Later
We separate the valuable from the costume before anything leaves the home — one appointment protects the whole estate.
Sterling and Holloware Bought
Flatware sets, tea services, and serving pieces are tested, pattern-identified, and purchased alongside the jewelry.
Whole-Home Support
Need the house emptied after the valuables are handled? Our property cleanout service finishes the job respectfully.

Norridge Jewelry Questions
We don't operate a storefront — and we'd suggest being cautious with buyers who claim local offices they don't have. Decatique Studios works by appointment and comes to you anywhere in Norridge: your home, your bank, or wherever you're comfortable. The evaluation is free either way.
Definitely evaluate first. Norridge ranch homes regularly turn up signed costume jewelry, gold pieces, and sterling that look like costume or plated items to an untrained eye. One visit sorts everything so nothing valuable gets donated by accident.
Kiosks pay a fraction of melt value and nothing for craftsmanship. We evaluate each piece fully — metal, maker, gemstones, and resale demand — and pay accordingly. We've been buying since 2010 with an eBay Top Rated record: 99.7% positive feedback over 11,000+ items sold.
Yes — sterling flatware, tea sets, and holloware are a big part of Norridge estate work. We test each piece, identify patterns and makers, and make an offer on the full set or individual pieces.
