Due to a recent death in the family, my mother (based in France) and her siblings have to divide the contents of a box of men's jewelry found in a bank safe. Some want to keep items, others are not interested but might take the equivalent sum. She had the jewelry evaluated at the cost of gold and stones, but I feel the estimated value is way too high. Some pieces are a little worn, as they are over 100 years old. Where does one go/how does one proceed to have antique jewelry evaluated adequately? Any tips other than the closest antique jewelry dealer?
