Question
I WISH TO HAVE AN IDEA AS TO THE VALUE OF TWO ITEMS I INHERITED. A MAN'S GOLD ROLEX WATCH FROM THE 50'S AND A LADIES 18KT GOLD OMEGA WATCH
Hello Susy and thank you for your inquiry. Values depend on several variances - metal content i.e. karat gold, condition and market/desirability. If you wish to sell the items, a professional appraisal might be a good idea. There are also online appraisal sites that will work from good photographs. You can find these by using your browser search area for "jewelry appraisers". You might also check some of the online auctions such as ebay.com for items similar to yours to get an idea of the current market value. Hope this helps and good luck !

Expertise
We are collectors, hobbyists and dealers in memorabilia and antiques - especially antique vintage and costume jewelry items. For 10 years we owned an antique shop here in Central Florida but retired and reopened a site on the internet that specializes mostly in antique jewelry and accessories such as perfume bottles, etc. Bill is informed on general antiques specializing in china and silver or sterling tablewares while Sally tends to jewelry and paper/advertising ephemera. We receive a lot of general questions from our site and would be glad to try and answer or give direction not considered for official appraisal purposes, i.e. estate or insurance.
