What Makes Estate Jewelry So Special?

Unlike mass-produced modern jewelry, estate pieces carry the charm of personal history and artisanal quality. Many items we sell are one-of-a-kind, made with hand-set stones and rare materials like quartz, platinum, sterling silver, or art glass. You’ll often find styles and techniques that are no longer produced, making each auction a journey through design eras and global craft traditions.

Estate auctions are ideal for:

• Treasure hunters seeking unique finds
• Collectors of vintage, antique, and art deco pieces
• Jewelry resellers building curated inventories
• Customers shopping for special gifts or investment pieces
• Sellers looking to get true market value through competitive bidding

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Jewelry Auctions

What is estate jewelry?

Estate jewelry refers to any piece of jewelry that has been previously owned, whether it’s a vintage heirloom, a diamond ring from a recent collection, or an antique brooch passed down through generations. These pieces often hold unique historical or artistic value and are highly sought after at estate sales and online auctions.

How does a jewelry auction work?

Bodnar’s Auction lists each piece of estate jewelry—such as necklaces, bracelets, pendants, or rings—in our secure online auction catalog. Buyers place bids in real time, and the highest bidder at closing wins the item. All sales are professionally managed, with secure payment and shipping available across the United States.

What types of jewelry can I buy at your auctions?

Our estate jewelry auctions regularly feature:

• Gold, silver, and platinum pieces
• Diamond, ruby, emerald, sapphire, and jade stones
• Costume jewelry, art deco and art nouveau styles
• Sterling silver, opal, garnet, topaz, onyx, and turquoise
• Pocket watches, bangles, photograph lockets, and more

Each auction is different, offering new opportunities to find rare and stunning items.
