Estate Jeweler Brings Upscale and Unique Jewelry to the Heart of Potomac Village

Potomac, Maryland - Situated in an upstairs gallery at Potomac Village Antiques, Potomac Estate Jewelers offers a complete range of services to appraise, value, consign, market and sell estate and antique jewelry in a private, discreet atmosphere.

There clients can peruse a wide selection of jewelry, knowing that each piece has been hand-selected and evaluated by Potomac Estate Jewelers’ GIA (Gemological Institute of America) Graduate Gemologists.

Highlights from their current collection include a Cartier Diamond and Platinum Mesh Evening Bag, a 17 carat Diamond and Gold Leaf Pendant, and a Cartier Yellow Gold, Platinum, Star Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet. Antique and current pieces from Tiffany and Company, Chopard, Mauboussin and Van Cleef and Arpels are available at significant savings if one is willing to forego the “Blue Box” for a more subdued hunter green one. From the special occasion to the everyday staple, discriminating clients will find unique jewelry to complement their individual style. In addition to their ever changing collections, Potomac Estate Jewelers has the ability to fulfill specific requests through their world-wide jewelry network, from diamonds and colored stones over five carats to signed pieces and extraordinary watches.

For clients wishing to revamp or upgrade their jewelry collections, Potomac Estate Jewelers offers several options, from purchase or consignment, to donations to charity through their affiliation with Jewels for Charity. In addition to selling items in its Potomac salon, the firm markets their pieces both regionally and nationally by exhibiting at prestigious events such as the Baltimore Summer Antiques Show and Morristown, New Jersey Antiques Show as well as producing an internet catalog (www.potomacestatejewelers.com) delivered to subscribers nationwide.

“We realize that purchasing jewelry is an important event for our clients. Our goal is for each client to experience buying jewelry in a relaxed one-on-one environment where they receive both unsurpassed value and service,” commented Principal Matthew Stuart.
