Precision Jewelry Disposition for One of
America's Most Prestigious Luxury Retailers.

The Engagement

Saks Fifth Avenue, one of the world's most prestigious luxury department store chains, engaged Eaton Hudson's jewelry advisory team — operating through Silverman Consultants — to manage the strategic disposition of its jewelry department inventory. The engagement required the highest level of discretion and brand sensitivity: for a luxury retailer of Saks' stature, the manner of the disposition is as important as the recovery achieved. The team delivered a brand-protective strategy that maximized asset recovery without disrupting the integrity of the Saks brand or its primary retail pricing.

Scope of Work

• Fine jewelry inventory valuation and disposition strategy
• Brand-protective liquidation execution maintaining Saks' luxury positioning
• Coordination with Saks store operations and management teams
• Discreet secondary market and direct disposition strategies

The Eaton Hudson Advantage

Luxury retail dispositions require a completely different approach than traditional liquidations. The Saks engagement validated Eaton Hudson's ability to operate at the highest tier of the market — where preserving brand equity is as critical as maximizing recovery. This capability is central to our jewelry advisory practice and informs our approach to every luxury and fine jewelry disposition we manage.
