Consignment Services
Consignment is a great alternative to outright selling because there is more time to find the perfect buyer. When you consign, you transfer the possession of your pieces to the experts of Argo & Lehne, but ownership of the items remains with you until they are sold to the final consumer. Consignment allows us to incorporate your valuable pieces into our showroom and onto our website, so they have the opportunity to be seen by the most potential buyers. To consign with Argo & Lehne, pieces must meet our criteria of quality, aesthetic demand and inventory need.
We are always happy to answer any questions or examine pieces in-store to determine if they would be best for consignment!
Estate Consultation Services
If you are dealing with precious family items or heirlooms, we offer consultations to guide you through the estate planning process. Our in-house gemologists will help you identify the gems and metals in your collection and their value.
Once the value of the collection is determined, we’re happy to assist you through the next steps. We can work with you to help you repurpose sentimental pieces into new items, sell your jewelry on your behalf, or assist you in the process of evenly distributing a collection among family members or heirs.
