Inherited Jewelry? What to Know About Estate Jewelry and Taxes

Inherited Jewelry? What to Know About Estate Jewelry and Taxes

Inheriting jewelry can be both meaningful and challenging, especially if you’re managing it from outside Los Angeles. Questions about valuation, taxes, preservation, and safe shipping naturally arise.

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.


Redesigning Heirloom Jewelry Online

Even remotely, your jewelry can be transformed into modern, wearable designs:

  • Convert rings into necklaces or bracelets

  • Update settings while keeping original stones

  • Combine multiple heirlooms into one cohesive piece

Our jewelry remount services are fully adapted to online clients. Safe shipping, detailed photography, virtual consultations, and digital design previews allow you to confidently redesign your jewelry from anywhere.
