“This year the jewelry market has been very, very, very strong. We hear things about retail sales and all that, but the jewelry market is a little special because we do handle really rare and beautiful gemstones and signed pieces from design houses like Cartier, Tiffany and Van Cleef & Arpels. So, the client base is still actively acquiring pieces and looking for things that are special.”
