A Private Jeweler in New Orleans

Fine jewelry, diamonds, gemstones and watches, by appointment with Coleman E. Adler III.

For more than thirty years, I have bought, sold, designed, sourced, appraised, repaired and cared for fine jewelry and watches in New Orleans. Today, I continue that work independently, by appointment and on a more personal scale.

There is no showroom and no sales floor. When you call, you reach me directly. The person you meet with is the person responsible for understanding your needs, sourcing the right piece or stone, developing the design, and overseeing the work from beginning to end.

My practice is built around experience, discretion and personal service.

What Brings Clients to Me

A Rolex, Cartier or Patek Philippe
To buy, sell, source, appraise a pre-owned or vintage watch.

An inherited or estate piece
To sell, appraise, restore or redesign a piece of jewelry with history and meaning.

A custom piece or engagement ring
Designed around a particular diamond or gemstone, whether sourced through the trade or brought to me by the client.

A diamond or precious gemstone
When you are looking for something specific, unusual or difficult to find, I can source diamonds and colored gemstones through established trade relationships.

An appraisal
For insurance, estate planning, valuation, a potential sale, or simply to understand what you own.

A repair or restoration
For fine jewelry, antique jewelry and heirloom pieces that deserve experienced oversight and careful handling.

Fine Watches

Throughout my career, I have worked with Patek Philippe, Rolex and Cartier watches. I continue to buy, sell and source these brands, as well as other fine watches, with a particular focus on the pre-owned and vintage market.

Whether you are looking to acquire a specific watch, sell a watch you own, establish its value, arrange insurance documentation or determine the appropriate path for service, I can help you evaluate the piece and coordinate the next step.

A New Orleans Jewelry Practice Built on Experience

My approach is intentionally different from a traditional jewelry store. I work directly with clients who value experience, privacy and personal attention—from the selection of a diamond or gemstone to the design and manufacture of a custom piece, or the appraisal, repair and restoration of an existing one.

The jewelry business has been part of my family’s history in New Orleans since 1898. I am continuing that tradition today through an independent, private jewelry practice focused on fine jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, watches and one-to-one service.
