Anfesa's Jewelers hosted its 2nd Annual Estate Collection Event on October 17 and 18, 2025, presenting over $2 million in rare estate jewelry to attendees in the Raleigh area. The event featured a curated selection of vintage treasures, timeless classics, and one-of-a-kind pieces sourced from around the world, in partnership with John Angelo and his All Facets Gems Estate Collection. This gathering provided an opportunity for jewelry enthusiasts to explore items with unique histories and craftsmanship.
The event took place at the jewelry store in Raleigh, NC, where visitors examined a diverse array of estate jewelry, including pieces that highlight exceptional design and rarity. Estate jewelry encompasses pre-owned items that often carry stories from previous eras, offering both aesthetic appeal and potential investment value. Attendees had the chance to discover heirlooms that could become part of their own family legacies, aligning with Anfesa's Jewelers' emphasis on meaningful acquisitions.
John Angelo, known for his expertise in estate collections, brought a selection that included various styles and periods, allowing participants to find items suited to personal tastes or collections. The collaboration underscored Anfesa's Jewelers' role in connecting customers with specialized sources in the industry. Such events demonstrate the store's dedication to expanding access to distinctive jewelry beyond standard inventory.
In addition to the estate pieces, the event complemented Anfesa's Jewelers' existing offerings, such as engagement rings, wedding bands, and custom designs. The store maintains a selection of designer brands and loose diamonds, catering to a range of preferences. This integration highlights how estate jewelry can enhance modern collections or serve as standalone statements.
"Anfesa's Jewelers remains committed to providing access to extraordinary jewelry that tells a story," said Anfesa Matthews, Owner of Anfesa's Jewelers. "The 2nd Annual Estate Collection Event allowed our customers to engage with pieces that embody craftsmanship from different eras, fostering a deeper appreciation for the art of jewelry."
The event also served as a platform for education, with discussions on the provenance and care of estate items. Participants learned about factors that contribute to the value of such pieces, including materials, design origins, and condition. This informative aspect aligns with the store's on-site repair shop, staffed by master jewelers who handle restorations and maintenance.
Building on the success of the inaugural event, this year's gathering drew interest from local collectors and those seeking unique gifts. The inclusion of rare finds reinforced Anfesa's Jewelers' position as a destination for specialized jewelry experiences in the region. Future events may continue to feature similar partnerships, expanding the store's role in the estate market.

"Events like this strengthen our connection to the community by offering something beyond everyday shopping," said Anfesa Matthews, Owner of Anfesa's Jewelers. "It is rewarding to see customers discover items that resonate on a personal level, whether for investment or sentiment."
