My Story
I founded EMS Estates because I know how confusing the jewelry business can be. Years ago I needed to sell jewelry to pay tuition. The idea made me nervous because the process seemed mysterious. I didn’t know what to expect. I started this company to help guide others through appraising, selling, or consigning their jewelry.
