Collecting
Forming a collection is a fascinating and rewarding experience, and we are proud to support collectors with market access, knowledge, and decades of experience. We have helped build important collections for both private individuals and museums.
Jewelry and gemstone analysis is an increasingly technical field, and we take seriously our responsibility to stay informed on innovations and best practices. We consult regularly with gemological laboratories, specialist dealers, academics, and archivists.

Purchasing
Firestone and Parson actively seeks to purchase fine jewelry and antiques. We also facilitate transactions on a seller’s behalf, including sales to important collectors and museums. Transactions are held in the strictest confidence, and offers are backed by immediate payment.
We will endeavor to meet or improve on any prior bid or auction estimate. We recommend that sellers seek an independent valuation before contacting us.

Jewelry Design & Repair
We offer expertise in both traditional and modern jewelry-making techniques and are passionate about creating beautiful, high-quality jewelry with integrity in both design and execution.

We are experienced in evaluating old jewelry for alteration or redesign and are well-versed in all types of jewelry repair, much of which is completed on-site. Where outside specialists are required, we manage those orders with care following a full consultation.
