At Delage, we have three generations of excellence and experience in handling estate jewelry. We thank you for choosing us as your partner in this emotionally delicate process, and assure you that your experience will be met with superb professionalism, sensitivity, and discretion. To assist us in initially determining the value of your pieces, here are some suggested tips:

1. Email us clear, high- resolution images. You do not need to be a professional photographer or have a professional camera to take a great picture! Try photographing near a window (natural light is best) with your jewelry against a light background. Bring your camera close to the jewelry to fill the screen as much as possible¬- take multiple pictures! Use high resolution and send as jpg attachments.
2. Send any appraisal information you have. With larger diamonds and fine gemstones, the center stone information is the most important. Details regarding Cut. Color, Clarity,and Carat Weight help us tremendously in determining value. If you have an appraisal, please scan the document and include it in your email.
3. Send us your contact information. In your email, please include your name, number, shipping address, how you found Delage, and any additional information you feel may be helpful to us. We will respond by email or phone within three business days.

The Process
If you have access to a high- quality cell phone, digital, or DSLR camera for pictures of your jewelry, we can initially estimate a ‘ballpark’ evaluation over the telephone.

You may arrange an in- person appointment in our Manhattan showroom, or you may send them to us either by registered insured U.S. mail or by an alternative, insured method. On a case- by- case basis, we can also arrange to visit you at your home, place of business or bank vault.
