Estate jewelry is the focus of Jackie Abraham and Co., which he established in 1990 in New York. The company concentrates on buying and selling Estate & Antique, Diamonds jewelry, as well as Modern Jewelry and investment quality solitaires, wedding bands, anniversary rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and pre-owned watches. In 1993, Jackie and his wife, a native of Miami with Cuban heritage,
moved to Miami. Her supportive large family and contacts helped immeasurably in establishing a presence here. In December 2008, Jackie established his Miami location in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. The company showcases middle to high-end estate jewelry. In addition, Jackie relies on commerce through his website. "My website is helpful because it is an on-line catalog, and convenient for interaction with customers across the country and around the world who see what I have. Then I can send the pieces to them for approval," he explains. Jackie Abraham & Co. buys, sells, and trades with dealers, shopkeepers and private individuals, and occasionally assists attorneys with estate liquidations. "We are constantly searching for important pieces to purchase," Jackie says. "And, because we are in the wholesale business, we are able to pass on tremendous savings to our customers." The knowledge accumulated through years in the business combined with a true desire to provide others with exceptional jewelry of years past results in excellent service that Jackie prides himself on. "It is not only important for me to pass on true value, but most important to provide jewelry that is wearable for today's women. I also believe in informing and educating the consumer as much as possible." Just like a jewelry artist of old built a reputation for good craftsmanship by painstaking, precise work, Jackie Abraham has built a reputation for integrity and honesty in the jewelry business. "Whether I am consulting with a customer about an engagement ring or a period article of jewelry, I take the time to be sure they are satisfied."
