@dex, I totally agree with you.  I don't know why I stopped wearing my pieces, but I know it has been close to 2 years since I've worn any jewelry!  I only go to the grocery store and doctor's office, mostly, but I never put on my jewelry!   I could have saved a lot of money back in the late 90's, when I got on a jewelry spending spree!  LOL

My DIL is not interested in gorgeous, expensive jewelry. I own a lot. My husband traveled to Thailand in the 1980's and 90's with his work . . . and brought back most of my priceless pieces. My biggest problem is: what so do with these treasures? How do I turn them into cash? I'm 69 and no longer go places where I dress up and wear them! Crazy, but like you, I think it would be much smarter to turn it into cash and invest the money. Where would one start to sell such expensive jewelry? Due to health reasons, I'm unable to travel. (If I could travel, I'd sell them in the CA, NYC or Seattle markets!)

Heritage Auctions, ha.com, might be able to give you an estimated value if you go with their services.

For the Queen and Prince Philip's 70th anniversary party she borrowed this pearl and diamond choker from the Queen. Diana also borrowed it. Kate paired it with a pair of pearl and diamond earrings from Diana's private collection-a wedding gift. 

She also wore the DVF Zarita gown again. I love that dress, obviously she does too.

I love that the jewelry is being worn and not just locked up in a safe somewhere.  It also shows that classic well-made jewelry can be passed down through the generations.
