EMS Estates -Jewelry Appraisals & Consignment Portland Or

I have bought SO MANY gorgeous pieces from Elizabeth in the last year! I just ordered a custom stack ring created for me out of rose gold and green sapphire that I can't wait to receive! Elizabeth is amazing - she has appraised several pieces of my family jewelry and sold a few items on consignment. Every transaction has been so easy, and it's just generally a pleasure to work with her. I would suggest Elizabeth/EMS Estates for: Appraisals (get your wedding jewelry set cleaned and checked regularly, as well as any family heirlooms you want to know the value of and insure properly). Custom jewelry design and creation - seriously, don't go to the big box stores. You're paying a HEFTY price for their marketing. You're going to get fantastic gemstones at a *really* awesome price if you go with a certified gemologist, and not just a salesperson in a suit who's on commission. Vintage/Estate Jewelry - if you like the vintage look or feel like 'things just aren't made the way they used to be' then you need to shop the pieces that Elizabeth gets in from all over the country. Absolutely stunning and usually one of a kind. LOVE. I'm adding pictures of the pieces I currently own that I bought from her!

I highly recommend Elizabeth. She is personable, knowledgeable, and professional. She graciously flexed her schedule to help match my inflexible one. While evaluating my pearls, she took the time to explain to me what she looks for and how the market has changed over the years. This summer, I am looking forward to having Elizabeth help me design a new setting for my wedding ring.

I have been to see Elizabeth twice, once to do some work on my wedding ring and yesterday to drop off my grandmothers wedding ring that I inherited the ring when she passed last year. This ring means far more to me than it’s monetary value and leaving it in Elizabeth’s capable hands so she can breath life and beauty back into it brings me such peace. I can’t wait to share pictures of before and after the restoration. I highly recommend Elizabeth, she is not only a lovely person but she is also very reasonably priced and does beautiful work. Update! Just look at the before and after! Thank you Elizabeth! It means so much to me to have this piece of her with me and looking as beautiful as she was.

I simply can’t say enough good things about working with Elizabeth. I have had her work on three different pieces now and I’m blown away every single time. She is a treasure. She helped me design my dream ring and it came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was amazing to work with! If you are looking to have your jewelry or watches appraised, I’d highly recommend using EMS Estates. She was very fast at replying to my emails and inquiry. And I left a very very happy customer. You won’t regret choosing her, I promise!

I can't say enough good things about Elizabeth and EMS Estates! Elizabeth is so knowledgeable about fine and vintage jewelry and has such beautiful pieces. Even more importantly, I know I can take anything to her for repair or manufacture and it will come back looking flawless! I took my antique art deco ring to her for repair; it had split along the band and there were several loose prongs. When Elizabeth finished with it, everything was beautifully repaired and cleaned and it looked like a brand new ring! I also took an idea for a custom ring to Elizabeth and the results were stunning! I had 2 pearl tie pins of my father's and a single pearl earring of my mother's, along with a ring of my mother's with beautiful diamonds in an unattractive setting. I showed Elizabeth what I wanted to do with the pieces and the end result was exactly what I wanted! I love my "memory ring". My husband bought a bracelet for me from Elizabeth that is a perfect match for a necklace that has been in my family for 4 generations. I can't imagine going anywhere else for jewelry repairs or design, and I LOVE her inventory choices!

Elizabeth was extremely accommodating and gracious in helping me identify and evaluate a piece of jewelry I have. She communicated effectively over email and in person. This was my first time ever seeking out appraisal services so I was a bit nervous about what it might be like and she made me feel comfortable and was a joy to be around. Highly recommend :)
