Freeman’s Auction House

Jewelry Specialist

Kate Della Monica, GIA GG, sees some of the finest jewelry around thanks to her role as jewelry specialist and regional Florida representative for Freeman’s, a Philadelphia-based auction house. One of the most memorable pieces she’s seen so far was a Cartier brooch centering a marquise-cut diamond, E color, and a carved emerald. “It was the most stunning thing I had ever seen,” she says. “It had so much character and artistry that I fell in love with it. It made me respect how intricate and powerful a piece of jewelry can be. It tells the story of the person who owned it.”

Freeman’s holds auctions throughout the year in various collecting categories, including fine art, decorative art and objects, furniture, books and manuscripts as well as jewelry and watches. As a premier auction house, Freeman’s is dedicated to telling each piece’s unique story through thoughtful, creative and customized presentations. “If you put your items in our sales, they’re bound to really stand out,” Della Monica says. “Your five-carat diamond ring could get sidelined at a different auction house, but we’ll make it feel important in a fine jewelry sale.”

If you are curious whether your item is appropriate for sale in one of Freeman’s auctions, specialists are always available to provide a complimentary estimate. Whether inherited, amassed over a few short years or built over a lifetime, Freeman’s understands that a collection is personal. Their strategy for personalization is nurturing deep, lasting relationships with clients. They not only work closely with clients to meet individual goals and maximize results at auction; they’re also invested in connecting at the personal level. They provide start-to-finish guidance and expertise to help you navigate the industry.

Freeman’s knows it has competitors, but Della Monica says you’ll benefit from working with Freeman’s team; with less than 50 staffers, it provides clients with focused, personalized solutions. “You won’t get lost in the shuffle,” she says of the company, the nation’s oldest auction house. “We have a high success rate with single-owner sales.”
