The Importance of Insuring Your Jewelry

Did you know that you can insure $10,000 worth of your jewelry here in Hawaii for as little as $120 per year? With Jewelers Mutual your jewelry is insured at this low rate without a deductible, your jewelry is replaced with items of same kind and quality, AND you may work with the jeweler of your choosing!

Many renters and homeowners insurance policies insist that you use their preferred jeweler and they require several estimates. By individually scheduling your jewelry with Jewelers Mutual, you are sure to receive quick and quality service, thus returning you to the same (or similar) position that you were before the loss.

Now you may be thinking that your estate and antique jewelry is not replaceable in the same way that a modern piece would be and this is partially true. However, with proper documentation--jewelry appraisals--your lost piece can be replicated. At Mellow Antiques we offer full insurance accepted appraisals, as well as jewelry replication services. Some clients even choose to have a mold of their most treasured heirlooms made so that if something were to happen to their piece it would be more easily replicated.

You may think that your jewelry is insured by your homeowners policy, but this is not always the case. Often people are misled to believe such, only to later find out that there are limitations that prevent full reimbursement for jewelry loss.

For more information on individually scheduling your jewelry, 
visit the Jewelers Mutual website  www.jewelersmutual.com

Call us today for more information on appraising your jewelry!

Affordable Gifts

Yes, we know. . .you think of "Antiques" & "Estate Jewelry" and see dollar signs! Of course, there are some occasions and events in your life where a splurge is necessary; however, the majority of the time you want to pick up a gift that looks like you spent a lot without actually breaking the bank. We have the solution for you here at Mellow's! 
 Our La Vie Parisienne fashion jewelry line from Paris, France looks like it cost you a bundle, while price points start at just $28! AND we do layaway on items of any price--30% down and 3 months to pay--What a deal!
Here at Mellow Antiques, we have carried La Vie Parisienne for over 15 years and we are the only boutique in Honolulu that carries this line. Exclusive...check! Affordable....check!  Stylish. . .but of course!

La Vie jewelry is made from antique French jewelry molds from the 1920s and 1930s. The antiqued metal is a copper base with either 14k yellow gold or sterling silver overlay and only genuine Swarovski Austrian Crystals are used. The earrings are fashioned with a French wire, which makes for easy wear and sophisticated style, and the necklaces generally adjust to two different lengths--such versatility!

If you haven't already experienced (and become addicted to) La Vie jewelry--you're missing out! Come in today to peruse the collection and ask us about the La VIP card--a collector's card that helps you save, save, save!
 And while you are here, take a look around the shop at our one-of-a-kind antique and estate pieces--it's like being in a museum with free entry!
 Happy shopping,
--the gals at Mellow's
