By nature we are gatherers and collectors; but what happens when your collection turns into and overflowing jewelry box? The Carreras team is here to help! See our tips, ideas, and services we offer for all of your jewelry collections.

Clean out the jewelry box and take inventory! 

Now is the time to take out all of your pieces and set up your 4 wearing categories. This process will help you decide what is important to have, what you love to wear, or pieces with sentimental value you want to pass down from generation to generation.

1. Wear daily or weekly

2. Wear for special occasions

3. Do not wear

4. A family piece

Bring back the Sparkle! 

The items you wear daily, weekly, or for special occasions: are they clean and polished or in need of repair? Carreras offers free jewelry cleaning and inspection. This is the time to check the integrity of your pieces and bring back their sparkle.

Less is More

In efforts to assist you with cleaning out your jewelry box our Appraiser/Buyer would love to see the pieces you are not loving or not wearing.

Give yourself 45 minutes to visit our buying office, we take our time with each customer. We offer to purchase your items for a cash offer or as a trade offer ( trade in offers receive 25% more than cash offers) to use towards a new Carreras purchase.

Re-Design

This leads us to the most creative option: how can we re-design the pieces you do not wear or family pieces to pass down to the next generation? Our custom designs will bring back to life to your previously loved piece!

A few ideas:

Let us remove stones from a ring and set it into a new pendant.

Do you prefer a different metal or mounting? By resetting any family gemstones into a more modern mounting and metal you have a new piece with your very own flare!

Marrying the look of two pieces into one new stunner for your hand….. yes!

The ideas are endless and it all starts with some light cleaning.

The Wall Street Journal brings us back to the drama of the choker and how it is making a come back.

“A choker is super elegant,” says Sameer Lilani of Amrapali. “It accentuates a woman’s femininity. Like a pair of high-heeled shoes, it changes the posture of the lady. As it sits tight around the neck, you are less likely to slump and it makes you sit upright. There is a lot of drama with a choker.”
