Fox Estate Buyers
by Kevin Fritz
Central Florida residents have discovered a premier local source for selling their fine estate and modern jewelry at competitive prices with full discretion.
Fox Estate Buyers is a family-owned business that specializes in buying fine estate and modern jewelry as well as true antiquity, gemstones, and watches. Owned and operated by Adam Fox, the business was founded by Adam’s paternal grandfather and originally opened in New York City. After calling Coral Gables, Florida, home for a few years, the company relocated to Winter Springs in January 2022.
As a business that deals with fluctuations in real-world markets, Fox Estate Buyers is known for its honesty, integrity, and transparency when working with customers who are seeking to sell pieces of jewelry. The company’s worldwide market connections, coupled with its stellar reputation, assure sellers a fair and honest value for their pieces.
“Gold is doing well,” notes Adam. “Antique jewelry is still getting a premium, as are rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and other colored stones. I definitely pay people stronger on antiquity and more unique pieces.”
Ninety percent of the jewelry the company buys is of limited production – many items are antiques and some pieces date back to the 1700s.
The one stone that is not doing as well on the market is the diamond, a gem omnipresent in almost every family. Following a boom during the pandemic, the market began to slide post-Covid due to a drop in consumer demand and a global economic downturn.
Adam is upfront with his clients about the depressed diamond market, even before they come in for an appointment.
On top of economic pressures, Adam says diamonds have also dropped substantially in value due to the influx of lab-grown diamonds on the open market. He says consumers see that the price is a quarter of the cost of a naturally-made diamond and that the appearance of these lab-grown diamonds is superb. However, the lab-grown diamonds have little resale value and no real cash value on the secondhand market.
“People are very happy with their bullion numbers and their scrap metal numbers,” he says, “but diamonds have definitely taken a hit.”
To work with Fox Estate Buyers and sell your jewelry, gemstones and watches, simply submit an online form available at FoxEstateBuyers.com. Adam will then contact you to schedule a no-obligation consultation by phone or in his Winter Springs office.
After the jewelry is assessed, Fox Estate Buyers will make an offer, and payment is immediate, whether by check, electronic check, or wire.
Adam adds that he fully understands the difficulties of parting with certain pieces of jewelry and family heirlooms. Fox Estate Buyers offers full privacy and comfort at his office, and no transaction is rushed.
A graduate of the Gemological Institute of America, Adam took over the business 23 years ago at age 19 from his father, Steven. He rebranded from The Collection to Fox Estate Buyers in 2017, a move that boosted the company’s success.
Adam lives in Winter Springs with his wife, Flora, their three children, and Adam’s mother, Ruth.
