It was our first visit to Great Neck Fine Jewelry and we were impressed. We arrived 30 minutes early, and within three minutes, Joseph invited us into his office. I was so grateful they did not make us wait.
Joseph spent three hours with us! We had vintage and diamond jewelry from my mother and grandmother’s estate—much of it from the 1940s.
Joseph knew his stuff. He took the time to examine each piece and quote us. He put the jewelry into piles of keep and sell. He even cleaned and offered to repair some of the pieces he told us to keep. There was no pressure at all to sell our jewelry. Everything was neatly written out for us.

Before her death, she had left instructions to contact a company in Manhattan. That company recommended me to Great Neck Fine Jewelry.

My whole family could not be happier with the results. I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism of everyone at...
Read moreI feel very fortunate to have found my way to Joseph. I wish I'd known about this company when I first started to sell my mother's large estate. Had I known of him, I'd have had him advise me on the whole estate.
The whole team at Great Neck Fine Jewelry studied each piece. They spent hours separating each brand name. Joseph knows his stuff, and has a natural ability to share what he knows with others. I'll recommend this company highly to anyone who has to manage a valuable estate of jewelry,...
