"They took care of a family member's estate, paid a really fair price for the antiques, and went out of their way to accommodate a very tight pickup timeline. Friendly, honest staff — highly recommended."

What we do
One call for the sale of your estate — and your jewelry
Whether you're downsizing, relocating, settling a loved one's estate, or simply ready to part with a collection, we handle the whole process — valuation, auction or private sale, removal, and cleanup. We also buy fine jewelry and luxury watches every day, no estate required.
1
Estate liquidation
Full-service residential liquidation. We price, sell, and remove household contents, then leave the property in broom-clean condition — on your timeline. Partial or complete estates, in whole or in part.
2
We buy jewelry & diamonds
Fine and estate jewelry in gold and platinum, diamond rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and pendants, colored gemstones, and designer pieces. One piece, an entire collection, or inherited jewelry — evaluated in front of you with a clear explanation of value.
3
Luxury watch buying
We buy pre-owned and vintage luxury watches including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Omega, Breitling, Chopard and Hublot. Box, papers and service history help — but bring the watch as-is and we'll evaluate it on the spot.
4
Auction consignment & sales
We consign one standout piece or an entire estate to cataloged sales. We research, photograph, set reserves where appropriate, and market to collectors, dealers, private buyers and designers locally and online so bidders compete for the best price. Catalogs are prepared ahead of each sale — call to consign or to get on our auction notice list.
5
Appraisals
Free informal appraisals to start, plus certified appraisals for federal estate tax, insurance coverage, and equitable distribution. Bring photos or bring the piece — we'll walk you through current market value.
6
Buy · Sell · Consign
We buy outright for immediate payment, sell from our showroom, or consign your pieces — whichever route earns you the most with the least hassle. Trade-ins welcome if you're looking for something new.
7
Single-item & storage purchases
No estate required. We buy individual pieces — furniture, paintings, jewelry, silver, porcelain, rugs, bronzes, art glass, clocks, chandeliers and Judaica — and we also buy contents from garages and storage units.
8
Removal & cleanup
When the sale is over, we remove what's left and leave the home broom-clean and ready for its next chapter — keys, closing, or new occupants.
What we buy
If it has history — or brilliance — we should talk
We appraise and purchase residential contents across fine and decorative arts, plus fine jewelry, diamonds, gold and luxury watches. Not sure what you have? That's exactly what the free appraisal is for.

We buy jewelry & watches
Sell your jewelry with confidence — private, transparent, paid on the spot
Inspired by what South Florida sellers expect most: a private consultation, an evaluation explained step-by-step, and a pressure-free offer. Whether it's one diamond ring or an entire jewelry box from an estate, we treat every piece with the same care.
What we purchase: fine jewelry in 14kt and 18kt gold and platinum set with diamonds and precious gemstones — necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, pendants and brooches. We have special interest in estate and antique jewelry, modern designer pieces, loose diamonds from half a carat (with premiums for 2 carats and up), and antique cuts such as Old Mine and Rose Cut.
- White and fancy colored diamonds, certified or uncertified
- Gold jewelry 10K–24K — including outdated, broken or scrap pieces valued for intrinsic worth, with more for designer or antique value
- Platinum and sterling silver jewelry and flatware
- Colored gemstones — emerald, ruby, sapphire, jade, coral and pearls
- Single pieces, full collections, and estate jewelry lots
Designer names we actively seek include many of the houses collectors look for. If you have a signed piece, bring any box, papers, or prior appraisal — it can help confirm provenance and support value.

Luxury watches: we buy Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Omega, Breitling, Chopard, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Panerai and other fine Swiss timepieces — pre-owned, vintage or new. Original box and papers are a plus; condition, materials, movement and current demand all factor into the offer.
How selling jewelry works here
No pressure, no obligation — just a clear number and the reasoning behind it.
- 1Bring what you haveOne piece or many. Any certificates, appraisals, boxes or brand paperwork help, but they're not required.
- 2Private evaluationWe examine stones, metal, maker, condition and current market demand — right in front of you.
- 3We explain the valueYou'll hear how we arrived at the figure, including metal weight, stone quality (the 4Cs for diamonds), and comparable sales.
- 4Offer & prompt paymentIf you accept, we pay promptly and provide a receipt. Take time to decide if you prefer — the conversation stays pressure-free.
Not local or prefer to start remotely? Call us, describe the piece or send photos through the form below, and we'll give you a ballpark before you visit. House calls available across Boca Raton and Palm Beach County by appointment.
Auctions & consignment
Regular auction sales, cataloged and marketed like a gallery auction should be
Some items earn more when collectors compete. We hold cataloged sales of fine art, paintings, sculpture, antiques, Chinese porcelains and jades, fine and estate jewelry, silver, furniture, and rugs — reaching beyond a single showroom so a special painting, a signed jewel, or a full household finds its best buyer.
Consign
Start with photos
We evaluate single items or entire estates, agree reserves where appropriate, and handle research, photography, and cataloging.
Not sure which route fits? Most families start with a free appraisal. We'll tell you honestly whether a direct purchase, consignment, or auction is likely to net you more — piece by piece, not one-size-fits-all. Want auction notices and catalogs as they're published? Call and ask to be added to our auction list.

"Sold my mother's diamond ring and several gold pieces. They explained exactly how they valued each one — weight, stones, comparable sales — and paid on the spot. No pressure at all, just a clear number and the reasoning behind it."
Diane R. · Jewelry client
★★★★★
"I brought in my father's Rolex not knowing what it was worth. Honest appraisal right in front of me, a fair offer, and they helped me understand the box-and-papers side of it too. Wouldn't go anywhere else."
Michael T. · Watch sale
★★★★★
"As executor for my aunt's estate, I needed everything handled and documented. They photographed, priced, and sold the contents, kept me informed at every step, and left the condo broom-clean for closing."
Robert K. · Executor
★★★★★
"Downsizing after 30 years in our home felt overwhelming. They came to us, gave us a plan, and took care of the furniture, silver, and rugs within our timeline — patient, kind people to work with."
Carol & Jim P. · Downsizing
★★★★★
"I had a collection of porcelain and art glass I was sure nobody would want. They knew exactly what it was, found buyers who appreciated it, and it sold better than I ever expected."
Margaret W. · Collection sale
★★★★★
"Our law office refers estate clients to SoBe when a home needs to be appraised and sold. They are responsive, professional, and provide clear documentation for the file — which makes everyone's job easier."
Estate attorney referral · Boca Raton
★★★★★
"I inherited a jewelry box full of gold chains, broken pieces, and a few stones I couldn't identify. They sorted everything in front of me, separated what had antique value from scrap, and the total was far more than I expected."
Barbara H. · Inherited jewelry
★★★★★
"Second time using them — first for my parents' condo, now downsizing my own place. Same experience both times: fair prices, explained patiently, everything removed when promised, and the home left clean."

Questions
Before you call
Yes. The first step is a free informal appraisal: we review your item or estate, give you an estimated value based on the current market, and explain your selling options — with no obligation.
Not at all. We buy and consign single items — a painting, a silver service, a piece of jewelry — as well as complete estates and entire collections.
Selling to us outright is the fastest route — you get paid without waiting. Consignment and auction can earn more for desirable pieces, since your items are offered to our network of collectors and buyers. We'll recommend the best route for each piece.
Yes. In addition to free informal appraisals, we provide certified appraisals suitable for federal estate tax filings and insurance coverage.
We're based in Boca Raton and work with families across South Florida, from Vero Beach down to Miami — including Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Delray Beach, and Palm Beach County.
Yes — every day. We buy single pieces and full collections of fine jewelry, diamond jewelry, gold and platinum pieces, and luxury watches such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and Omega. Bring any certificates, boxes or prior appraisals you have; they help, but they're not required for an evaluation.
Diamond jewelry (especially 1 carat and up), signed designer pieces, antique and estate jewelry in gold or platinum, and jewelry with fine colored gemstones tend to bring the strongest offers. Even broken or outdated gold is purchased for its intrinsic value — and if a piece has designer or antique significance, we value that above melt.
We evaluate your pieces, recommend reserves where appropriate, catalog and photograph them, and market the sale to collectors, dealers and designers. The catalog is published ahead of auction day so buyers can preview and register. You approve the plan before anything is listed. After the sale, we handle payment, pickup or shipping, and settlement — and anything unsold can be returned, re-offered, or purchased directly.
All three. SoBe Antiques buys outright for immediate payment, sells by private sale and estate sale, and consigns property to cataloged auction sales. At your free appraisal we'll recommend — piece by piece — which route is likely to net you the most.
Yes. In addition to private sellers and families, we regularly assist attorneys, trust departments, banks, insurance companies, executors, dealers, and interior designers with appraisals, consignments, and complete estate sales — with clear documentation at every step.
Yes — that's part of the job. Once items are sold or removed, we leave the property in broom-clean condition, ready for closing, listing, or its next occupants.
