About Us

Hello!

I’m Kelly Bennett, the founder and owner of Bronzeville Estate Jewelry.

I started this business because I am obsessed with jewelry from the past and I want to preserve the history and craftsmanship of these gorgeous pieces. I have 25+ years of experience in the jewelry industry ranging from; fabrication, to retail sales, to education, and now I’m thrilled to embark on my journey as an entrepreneur in the world of estate jewelry.

During my years in this industry, I have seen so many beautiful pieces get melted or destroyed because they were a little worn down or weren’t the current trend. I hate to see that happen so I’m on a mission to save the history and craftsmanship from previous eras, one piece at a time.

My expertise lies in the intricate art of buying and selling unique vintage and antique pieces as each piece tells a story. I am dedicated to unearthing, preserving, and sharing these treasures with others who value their charm and history.

With a keen eye for quality and authenticity, I strive to offer my clients not only exceptional jewelry but also a personalized experience. Whether you’re looking to acquire a stunning new piece for your collection or seeking a knowledgeable partner to help you sell your own treasures, I’m here to guide you through every step.

I also buy scrap gold and silver with a commitment to fairness and transparency. My goal is to offer competitive pricing that reflects the true value of your materials, ensuring you receive a fair and honest assessment every time.  Please reach out to me to make an appointment at bronzevilleestatejewelry@gmail.com or 760-681-2400.

Thank you for visiting my page. I look forward to connecting with my fellow jewelry enthusiasts and helping you find your next cherished item!

Kelly Bennett, G.G.
