Decatur Jewelry & Pawn offers expert Jewelry appraisals.

Who do you need an appraisal and what does one do for me? Most insurance companies require one before they issue a policy on your jewelry. Some customers might be facing tax situations, others might handle a family’s estate or maybe you just want to know what that old family heirloom is really worth.


As a professional, I always recommend to my customers that they get their item appraised at the time of purchase and then re-appraise it every 3-5 years, depending on market conditions.

Why Decatur Jewelry & Pawn?

By choosing Decatur Jewelry & Pawn, you can rest easy that you are working with a professional with extensive knowledge and experience. We will walk you through the process, explain how our appraisals work, and treat your collection with the utmost care and safety.


WHEN SHOULD I GET AN APPRAISAL?

A Jewelry Appraisal can give you a fair and accurate appraisal for:

  • Insurance Coverage
  • Liquidation
  • Estate Tax Evaluation
  • Collateral
  • Value Comparison
  • Divorce

ESTATE JEWELRY

Sell Your Estate, Vintage & Antique Jewelry

Estate, vintage, and antique jewelry can often be worth an impressive amount of money. Decatur Jewelry & Pawn buys, sells, and trades estate jewelry throughout the world. Many times, customers approach us with a parcel of jewelry from a family member’s estate. Most often, they do not know the value of the items they show us. This is where our expertise, trust, and communication sets us apart from other buyers of jewelry. Decatur Jewelry & Pawn has been buying and selling estate, vintage and antique jewelry since 1993. Yes, 1993 — even before the Internet was invented and used worldwide.



Perry Lewin, a 3rd generation jeweler, brings his wealth of family experience, knowledge, and trustworthiness to evaluating each estate and parcel of jewelry. Bring it all: Costume jewelry, fine jewelry, coins, antiques, and the unknown. Perry and his staff will sort through your merchandise and will help you identify which pieces are worth money and which ones have little to no value. It is advised to call ahead for an appointment, as sorting through estate items can take a lot of time and requires an open desk. This way, we can be prepared upon your arrival.


Usually, within 24 hours, we can have a solid cash offer for your valuable and can have a check-in your hand or a wire transfer to your bank. Our global reach and expert team of evaluators have made us one of the largest, most-respected, and sought-after buyers of estate and vintage jewelry throughout the area.

Below is a simple guideline to help make selling your antique, vintage, or estate jewelry a simple, stress-free experience:


  1. Gather the necessary information.
  2. Evaluate and price your antique jewelry
  3. Sell and walk away satisfied & fulfilled

Our motto has always been to build long-term relationships by offering honest, fair, and satisfying experiences to our new and existing customers.


Call with your questions. We’ll do our best to remove the fear and apprehension you have in dealing with your estate jewelry.

Established in 1992, Decatur Jewelry & Pawn is one of Illinois’ leading pawn stores. We are located in Decatur, Illinois, and in 2007, we expanded to a second location in Mt. Zion, Illinois.
