Discretion
Deceased Estates

A quiet service
for the pieces
that outlast us.

Papillon assists families and executors with the valuation, restoration and considered re-setting of jewellery from deceased estates. We approach this work with the discretion, patience and privacy it deserves.

You are welcome to bring a single piece or a full collection. Consultations are private and there is no obligation.

Chapter I
How We Assist

Four ways
we can help.

01
Written Valuation

Independent valuations for insurance, probate and division of estate.

02
Restoration

Sympathetic repair that preserves originality — hallmark, patina, provenance.

03
Heirloom Redesign

Existing stones re-set into a piece the next generation will wear every day.

04
Considered Sale

Where a piece is to be sold, we offer a private, market-guided process.

Chapter II
The Approach

Patient,
private,
unhurried.

Appointments are held privately, either in the boutique or at a location of your choosing. Every item is photographed, weighed and recorded in your presence.

No decision is asked of you at the first meeting. A full written report follows, and any next step is entirely your own.

When you
are ready.

Arrange a private appointment with our head jeweller — in the boutique, by video, or at a location of your choosing.
