At Hakimi Gem, we evaluate each piece or set individually. However, the process varies slightly depending on the category of the item. We look at the maker/designer of the piece (i.e. Tiffany, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier etc.), the 4C’s (Cut, Color, Clarity & Carat weight), as well as, the demand of your item(s) in the marketplace.

Hakimi Gem has been family-owned and operated since 1987.

Depending on the item, we sell to collectors, jewelers, wholesalers or refiners.

Yes! We have a full-service showroom, located in jewelers row Chicago!
