Jewelry Buying Built for Park Ridge's Long-Time Families
Park Ridge is a town where families stay. The brick bungalows and Georgians around Uptown often pass from one generation to the next — along with engagement rings, sterling sets, and jewelry collections assembled over fifty or sixty years. Sorting through it all after a loss, or before a move, is where most families get stuck.
Ivan and Diane Bilic have spent nearly 40 combined years evaluating exactly these collections. We buy fine jewelry, signed costume pieces, gold and silver, and coins — and if you've just inherited a collection, our guide to inherited jewelry is a good place to start before we visit.
From Uptown to the Pickwick: What Park Ridge Estates Hold
Generational homes mean generational collections. Park Ridge estates routinely turn up Art Deco engagement rings, mid-century costume sets, sterling flatware, and coin collections — often stored away and untouched for decades.
Everything Sorted in One Visit
We evaluate the full collection at once — fine, costume, sterling, coins — so nothing valuable ends up in a donation bag or garage-sale box.
Fair Division Made Easier
Many Park Ridge families use our free evaluation simply to divide an inheritance equitably among siblings. No obligation to sell.
Respectful, Private Process
We work quietly and at your pace — important in a close-knit town. You decide what sells, and you're paid the same day.

Absolutely. Inherited collections are a big part of what we do in Park Ridge. We go through every piece — the fine jewelry, the costume sets, the sterling — and explain maker's marks, metal content, and collector value so you know exactly what you have before deciding anything.
Often, yes. Signed pieces by Trifari, Coro, Eisenberg, and Miriam Haskell — common in collections from that era — can bring strong prices from collectors. Unsigned pieces we evaluate for construction and condition. We buy both fine and costume jewelry, so nothing gets overlooked.
Gold buyers typically pay melt weight only. We evaluate each piece as jewelry first — designer marks, gemstones, era, and condition often make a piece worth far more than its metal. Decatique Studios has bought since 2010, with eBay Top Rated status, 99.7% positive feedback, and 11,000+ items sold.
Yes. Along with jewelry, we buy coins, sterling flatware, luxury watches, and collectibles — and entire estates. If the house itself needs clearing before the sale, our property cleanout service can take care of the rest.
