Recommendations for jewelers/appraisers in Vermont?

Submitted by MissJudgeGaming t3_zy1wtj in vermont

My mother was an avid jeweler and beader for my entire life, and earlier this year she passed away from leukemia. My remaining family asked me to take on her collection and start trying to get some answers as to what a lot of it is. Some of it is extremely old, some of it is from Vietnam, it's a massive collection of jewels and history that I'm not sure where to start on.

If anyone has recommendations in Stowe/Montpelier areas, that would be amazing!! I'll travel further based on feedback, I really just want the chance to figure out some of this history. Thank you all and have a lovely new year!

Thank you so much!! I'm quite nervous about this whole process so getting recommendations based off experience is wonderful.

Ferro on Main St in Stowe is great. My husband proposed with his great grandmother’s engagement ring which we had appraised, resized, and restored. They were knowledgeable, sweet, and did a wonderful job at a reasonable price. Katie’s in Montpelier is also a great little shop and is worth checking out. I have had a restoration done there and they do appraisals as well.

That's so beautiful, thank you for sharing!

My mother was exceptionally private about her past, so I have no real clue what I'm working with so far and hearing about past good experiences is so encouraging. Your ring sounds so special, my hope is to do something similar by pulling the stones and giving to the family as they get engaged.
