Thirty years at the bench, the counter, and the conference table.
Max Weiner is a GIA-trained gemologist who has spent his career buying, selling, and valuing fine jewelry in Philadelphia. Since 1995, estates and their advisors have relied on that experience to answer a simple question: what is this actually worth?
Every appraisal is performed personally — not farmed out, not estimated from a photograph — and every acquisition offer is one a fiduciary can defend.
Acquired from estates, offered to you
Every piece in the collection was acquired directly from an estate — examined, graded, and priced by a gemologist.
