He is a gemologist and his wife is the one who does the designs. I can be guaranteed anything I get is a one of a kind piece. I bring him a picture from a magazine, he's not going to touch it. He said that it is somebody else's creation. I took one in because, I liked the shape of the stone. I like Victorian English jewelry and the fancy stuff. That is what he goes on. If you want to see a copy of his work, just go to the internet. A couple of my pieces are on there. We have a piece with Burmese Rubies which you can't buy anymore in this country, they are like Blood Diamonds now. Their price are much more competitive than the large store that specialize in mass design. She has been spoiled over the last 38 years. She always gets something on her birthday, anniversary and my birthdays. When I retired, I had them make a piece for the retirement. I look at it as the stones aren't going to loose value. All of his jewelry is a unique design and he deals with people from all over this country. The price depends on what you get."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/front-royal/nicolle%27s-jewelry-designs-reviews-6088589.htm"},"position":4},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Four Sales LTD - Estate Sales and Auction company","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Eve S."},"reviewBody":"I am not sure how my very old mother felt that this went for her, but as the daughter trying to look over her affairs and advise her about the work, I was not pleased.

The jewelry went first, and there was no evidence that the auctions were fair; no evidence of when the auctions were taking place, etc. Since the company also runs an auction, it is unclear that the best price was obtained. In fact, I was appauled by some of the low prices. I'm sure my mother wanted to know how much things she had were worth, and that the company convinced her that the best way to find out was to sell the things. I never had a chance to buy the things give the low, low prices and was dismayed by the process.

They did not have a large enough truck so after arrival he had to go from Alexandria to Gaithersburg to get another truck. They were to write down everything taken but did not - not even one item.

He consistently said he was too busy, trying to open another place, etc., etc. It took months to get a receipt after many calls.

I appreciated an honest appraisal since I could have easily been convinced to have expensive work done on my chair. He said that the original caning used stronger and longer lasting materials than are used today. Preserving the original caning would be best.
