At SHIBUMI GALLERY, we offer complimentary heirloom jewelry assessments by our owner, April Higashi, to help you thoughtfully evaluate and determine next steps for your pieces.

Many of us have jewelry that have been set aside or tucked away in a jewelry or safety deposit box. Perhaps a family heirloom has sentimental value but does not align with your personal style. Perhaps you are unsure of what to do with a wedding ring following a divorce, or have piece that is damaged or incomplete, such as a single earring.

During a complimentary consultation, we review each item and discuss a range of possibilities. Depending on the piece and its history, options may include redesign, restoration, recycling, or resale. We also work closely with a professional appraiser who can advise on auction placement should you wish to sell a piece.

Restoration or redesign of family jewelry is one of our clients’ most gratifying and rewarding choices. Reimagining a piece by reusing its stones or elements can be truly transformative. We are able to offer metal credit for gold, platinum, or palladium; however, we are unable to provide metal credit for semi-precious metals such as silver or bronze.

Many clients find the process of assessing and redesigning their jewelry to be both fulfilling and inspiring. It is a meaningful way to honor the past while creating something new and personal.
