Trusted Jewelry Buyers for Northbrook Estates
Northbrook grew fast in the 1950s and 60s — subdivisions of ranches and split-levels around Techny and Northbrook Court filled with young families who never left. Today those homes hold fifty or sixty years of accumulated jewelry: wedding sets, gold bangles from the old country, sterling flatware used twice a year, and costume pieces from every decade since Eisenhower.
Ivan and Diane Bilic have nearly 40 years of combined experience evaluating exactly these collections. We buy fine jewelry, gold and silver, and coins, and we explain how every offer is calculated before you decide. If you've recently inherited jewelry and aren't sure what you have, that's our specialty.
Downsizing in Northbrook? Evaluate Before You Pack
Moves out of longtime Northbrook homes — into senior living, condos, or out of state — are when valuable pieces most often get lost, donated, or undersold. A single evaluation visit protects the whole collection.
Sorting Before the Move
We identify which pieces are fine, signed costume, or gold by weight — so nothing valuable ends up in a donation bag or garage sale box.
High-Karat Gold Expertise
We regularly evaluate 18k and 22k gold from longtime Northbrook families, and price craftsmanship and maker marks — not just melt weight.
Payment the Same Day
Accept our offer and you're paid on the spot by cash or check. No consignment, no waiting for an auction to settle.

Northbrook Jewelry Questions
Yes — this is one of the most common calls we get from Northbrook. We come to the house by appointment, sort the entire collection piece by piece, and give you a clear written picture of what's fine, what's costume, and what each group is worth. That way the family can decide what to keep, sell, or divide before the movers arrive.
Often, yes. We regularly see 18k and 22k gold bangles, chains, and rings in Northbrook estates. Pieces with maker's marks, unusual craftsmanship, or gemstone settings can be worth well above scrap weight. We test and weigh everything in front of you and explain both values before making an offer.
We work by appointment rather than from a storefront — and we come to you. We regularly meet clients throughout Northbrook, from Techny to the neighborhoods around Northbrook Court, at your home, your bank, or wherever you're most comfortable.
Nothing — it stays yours. Our evaluation is free and carries no obligation. Plenty of Northbrook clients use it simply to understand what they inherited, then keep the sentimental pieces and sell only what makes sense.
Absolutely. We buy fine and costume jewelry, gold, silver, coins, sterling flatware, watches, and collectibles — usually in a single appointment. If the house itself also needs clearing, our property cleanout service can handle the rest.
