At Pel & Co., we provide trusted online services for clients nationwide, specializing in heirloom jewelry transformation and jewelry remount services. With decades of experience, we ensure your cherished pieces are handled with care, providing peace of mind from consultation to finished piece—even from afar.
Understanding Estate Jewelry
Estate jewelry includes pieces passed down through generations—rings, necklaces, brooches, or antique sets. Key considerations:
-
Professional Appraisal: We coordinate with certified appraisers remotely or review documentation to determine market and sentimental value.
-
Condition Assessment: Our team inspects submitted photos or videos and guides you through safe shipping for hands-on evaluation.
-
Historical Significance: We preserve family stories while planning a modern transformation.
Inheritance and Estate Tax Considerations
Inherited jewelry may be subject to inheritance tax or estate tax, depending on state and value:
-
Inheritance Tax: Paid by the recipient.
-
Estate Tax: Paid by the estate before distribution.
-
Professional Guidance: We work alongside probate lawyers, inheritance attorneys, and estate planners nationwide to ensure legal and financial compliance.
