If you need to get your fine jewelry appraised for insurance purposes, Colucci's Jewelers can help.
It's a great idea to get your jewelry appraised periodically. As the years pass along, the value of your precious metals and gemstones can fluctuate. If your last appraisal was more than two years ago, you could run into problems with your insurance coverage. If your jewelry is insured for less than its replacement value, you could lose a substantial amount of money if it is stolen or lost.
To help prevent situations like this from happening, our on-site jeweler Stefan Colucci will provide you with an up-to-date appraisal report based on your jewelry's current market value. That way, you can update your insurance accordingly.
We also specialize in estate jewelry appraisals, so you know exactly how much your old jewelry is worth if you are thinking of selling.
Our appraisal services include:
Selling jewelry from years past can be a hard experience. Estate jewelry, in particular, can have sentimental value attached and can be hard to sell. This is because jewelry is often a symbol of achievement or affection, such as your class ring from high school or your grandmother's wedding band. At Colucci's Jewelers, we understand the connection to old jewelry and appreciate the memories and value you have with these antique pieces.
In addition to the personal value, antique and estate jewelry can be quite valuable from a monetary standpoint. Estate jewelry is extremely popular in this day and age. Many Lowcountry locals are selling their vintage pieces to trusted jewelry stores near West Ashley, SC, like Colucci's Jewelers.
Many customers choose to sell their jewelry to Colucci's Jewelers because we offer an intimate, honest experience - something that you will certainly not receive if you list your jewelry for sale on an internet marketplace. We will be upfront with you every step of the way to help separate personal value from monetary value, and will present you with a fair offer to consider.
If you are interested in selling your jewelry, we encourage you to visit our showroom to meet our staff and get an accurate appraisal of your jewelry's worth.
We are proud and grateful to have served thousands of customers looking for quality jewelry and a relaxed, no-pressure atmosphere. We would love the opportunity to speak with you face-to-face so that we can learn what you're looking for and what you love about jewelry. Whether you're looking for a custom diamond engagement ring or need friendly advice about what looks right, we are here help.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - New construction is set to begin at the West Ashley Greenway entrance along Albemarle Road.
The Charleston Water System is working on the sewer tunnels from the wastewater treatment plant on Plum Island to Albemarle Road. Utility officials say the current tunnels are at capacity with wastewater coming in from West Ashley, Johns Island, Hollywood, Ravenel and the Town of Meggett.
The high wastewater levels lead to frequent sewer overflows in the West Ashley area, especially during heavy rainstorms like those caused by Tropical Storm Debby in August.
Charleston Water System Public Information Administrator Mike Saia says the West Ashley Sewer Tunnel Extension Project is a big solution to the overflows.
Crews will be extending the current tunnels to Savannah Highway to better move the wastewater in the largest utility project in the company’s history. Work on the $127 million extension kicked off Monday as crews headed to the Greenway trail where current sewer mains and approach channels are located.
The plan is to dig 130 feet into the ground and then dig a tunnel that is about 20 thousand feet long nearing Markfield Drive. Utility officials say digging will begin in December. The tunneling work is expected to begin in April.
Saia says this option will carry the extra wastewater in the safest and quietest manner possible, avoiding disruptions for nearby residents. He says the project will remove other area concerns like wastewater odor, especially during cleaning.
“It’s going to be 8-foot in diameter with a carrier pipe inside that’s going to be able to carry all the wastewater, the West Ashley, Johns Island, Hollywood, Ravenel and Meggett throughout the entirety of their buildout in perpetuity,” Saia says. “This should be the last solution for all these communities. We’re very excited to get it done and in about three years it should be in use.”
Visitors and residents on the Greenway path will begin to see fencing and materials this week. The path entrance on Albemarle Road will be closed from Sept. 23 to Oct. 16.
Visitors can still enter the pathway from other entrances such as Folly Road and Fenwick Drive.
The nearest residence is estimated to be up to 400 feet away. Saia says the company spoke with community members earlier this year about the project, going door-to-door knocking and holding meetings. He expects people in the area to begin to hear construction in April. The plan is to continue discussion with residents at that time.
“This tunnel construction is going to bring some noise and a little bit of disruption to the Crogan end of the Greenway right here and to the communities around because we’re going to have some construction going on almost 20 hours a day for about a year or two consecutively,” Saia says. “We recognize those challenges, so we’ve been in touch with the community, we’ve had a community meeting and we perform regular communications outreach to the folks around here.”
Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2027.

Let's talk about the Ashley Landing-Sumar Street project and the city's proposal.
Infrastructure data analysis is needed for this project to move forward. Our communities need reassurance that its impact will be positive, and that quality of life is not compromised for residents. Looking at the plan, I see 10 to 14 driveways entering and exiting the project onto three roads.
In addition to commercial traffic, 425 rental units are proposed that could house 1,000 new residents and bring more than 600 vehicles.
Then the city should consider special events. How do current traffic patterns, including the merge at Sam Rittenberg Boulevard and Old Towne Road, accommodate for this influx of private and commercial traffic?
We need assurances from Charleston County and the state Department of Transportation that requests from the city and the developer regarding proposed traffic lights, crosswalks, sidewalks and bike paths will be added on both roads to ensure safe passage from surrounding neighborhoods and parks. Without a commitment, how can the city know this plan is right?
With the removal of Sumar Street and the addition of new residents and guests, has consideration been given to the flow and safety of residents and vehicles for current and new residents?
Residents have continually felt resistance to making changes allowing these roads to be safer and flow better. Conversations between the developer, the city and the state must happen to ensure improvements before this project begins.
While pretty pictures are nice and many residents seem to be onboard with the new proposal for the project, we deserve public meetings and the city should conduct a multimodal study. This should include closing Sumar Street as a test to see how it affects the traffic flow in the area.

The state of South Carolina is planning to carry out its first executions in more than a decade beginning next week.
There is so much killing and cruelty in our world, exemplified by the horrific violence of recent events.
Our state taking more people’s lives only adds to the cruelty and inhumanity we are suffering. It is wrong for our state to do this.
The crimes that these people committed happened 20 to 25 years ago. Killing them does not seem like justice. It only adds tragedy upon tragedy.
Gov. Henry McMaster has the legal power to stop these executions. He should.

After the University of South Carolina had eight penalties and the University of Kentucky had 11, maybe it should have been time to call the game with each team having to forfeit.

The presidential election is nigh. For different reasons, I find both candidates unacceptable.
Therefore, I will write in Nikki Haley for president, Brian Kemp for vice president and Mark Sanford for 1st District congressman.
Vote for whom you choose — but just vote. Dum Spiro Spero.
