[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1456613, member: 5833"]To the extent I can get my head around it, the world of jewellery might as well be stars in the universe, unfathomably vast (I know someone will jump in here & tell us just how many there are estimated to be). Not as though I ever do anything this rational, but I think you need to consider in general terms what it is you would like to bequeath. Could be an eclectic group of things that more than anything expresses your personal taste, things you will actually wear, so that heirs will say, Oh, I remember that pin/necklace/ring. Could be a collection as in 'contemporary Taxco silver jewellery', something you would be interested in learning more about & having more of. (Could be jewellery of any type that features a grape cluster motif.)

That's a whole other realm, one where you really do need to educate yourself by learning makers, following auction results, etc., before you sink money into anything.[/QUOTE]
