Chicago's Historic Homes Deserve a Specialist
Norwood Park's curving streets and historic district hold housing stock that predates most of the city — and with old homes come old jewelry boxes. We regularly see Victorian and Edwardian pieces, heirloom sterling, and coins that have sat untouched in the same drawer for generations.
Ivan and Diane Bilic bring nearly 40 years of combined expertise to evaluating exactly these pieces. We buy fine and antique jewelry, inherited collections, gold, silver, and sterling, and coins — priced individually, never dumped on a scale.
Old Houses, Old Jewelry, Real Value
The older the home, the more likely the jewelry has real antique value. Before anything goes to a garage sale or a donation box, let us tell you what the pieces actually are.
Period Jewelry Expertise
Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco pieces are priced by era and maker — categories where experience directly changes the offer.
Sterling Services Bought
Full flatware sets, tea services, and holloware are weighed and purchased in the same visit as the jewelry — no separate trip needed.
Honest Sorting
We tell you plainly what's fine, what's costume, and what's sentimental-only — so your family can decide with real information.

Norwood Park Jewelry Questions
Yes, and Norwood Park is exactly where they surface. Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Nouveau pieces turn up in the neighborhood's oldest homes, and we evaluate them by era, maker, and condition — not melt weight. Antique jewelry is often worth far more than its materials.
Call or email and we'll set a time to meet at your home — along the curving streets near the Circle or anywhere else in the neighborhood. There's no office to visit; we bring the evaluation to you, free of charge and with no obligation to sell.
That's our bread and butter. We separate fine from costume, test metals, check for maker's marks, and tell you honestly what each group is worth. Even the costume pieces can surprise you — signed Trifari, Haskell, and Eisenberg pieces are collectible.
We buy both. Older Norwood Park homes often hold complete sterling services that have been stored for decades. We weigh and price flatware, holloware, and tea sets on the spot, along with any silver jewelry in the estate.
You watch the entire evaluation and keep your pieces unless you accept the offer — no shipping risk, no waiting for a check, no lowball quote you can't question. We've operated since 2010 with a 99.7% positive eBay rating across 11,000+ items sold.
