What’s your jewelry worth? It is always wise financial planning to know the current value of your jewelry tucked away in jewelry and safe deposit boxes. Dianne Batista, jewelry director at Rago, will be visiting Weston Historical Society and can help you to learn more about your precious jewelry and make an informed decision on whether it may be a good time to consider auction.

Rago was founded by David Rago, a preeminent expert in the field of American ceramics and art pottery. David began dealing in American decorative ceramics at the age of seventeen. He has authored several titles on the subject, lectures nationally and has appeared regularly on the PBS series, The Antiques Roadshow, since its inception in 1996.

With more than five decades of experience handling 20th and 21st century works, he and partner Suzanne Perrault, another regular on The Antiques Roadshow, and their team of qualified specialists, researchers, and property handlers have distinguished Rago as the top venue for American ceramics as well as for the sale of fine art, modern design, decorative arts, fine jewelry, contemporary glass, and silver.
