Have come into possession of some vintage jewellery from an estate that I would like to have appraised, not solely for monetary value, but to find out what exactly things are and from what eras, as I have no information. Can anyone recommend a knowledgeable jeweller who would be able to help me? And would I have to pay a fee? Thanks!

For complicated reasons, my ex flame and I can't be together. While he was telling me he was still in love with me (and messaging me every day) he started dating another girl. I knew he was dating but not that he was actually in a relationship because he didn't tell me. I felt very awkward finding this out.
Anyway, six months after they start dating he proposes to her and they are now engaged. They'd known each other for six months. I'm so confused. I don't want him back but why would he say he loved me then get engaged? Seems like a really weird thing to do given his true feelings (he said I am his only true love). I feel like he has done a dirty on this girl he's engaged to and only done it because he can't be with me. Keep in mind he was still messaging me every day when he started seeing her!
Let me disclose this post by firstly saying I don't need any judgment or opinions regarding affairs etc. Here's the story in a nutshell.
Boy meets girl 20 years ago. Boy is now 40M, girl is now 37F. We fell in love 20 years ago, but 40M didn't want to take a chance because we lived in two different states. A few years later he visited me while I had a bf but hoped we would end up back together. The following year, I went to his state and we met up. I got drunk and cried because I missed my bf but 40M had asked me if I had wanted to kiss. We cabbed home separately and he was devastated because he still loved me. Fast forward 20 years later. I'm married, he's not. We reconnect. He still admits he loves me, still has feelings for me, I'm the one who got away. I'm the only one who ever really loved him. I'm his true love. He'll always love me. My head is a mess. I had always loved him and it turned out so did he, he just could never tell me. My heart aches for the love that was there but never got a chance to develop. We message all day every day for months. He says it's hard not to say 'I love you' to me. I guess we have some sort of emotional affair, though he is reluctant to say the things he wants to say to me. This goes on for about three-four months. I was going to visit his state (for another reason) last October, and he said he would keep the date free. I had known he was dating as he had told me he was meeting up with a girl he had met online. He didn't want to tell me because he was worried about how it would make me feel. He starts to distance himself and message me less and I can tell he is becoming involved with someone else, which I know I have to accept. But the problem is, I started seriously considering us becoming something. Before I know it, Facebook tells me that he is in a relationship - WHICH STARTED WHILE HE WAS MESSAGING ME ON THE SIDE? Which I found very odd and almost made me feel sorry for the girl. By the time I visit his state and let him know I am there, he cancels on me for 'a birthday party' that he meant to let me know about (yeah right). I tell him that I hope I didn't put him off and that I would have been happy to meet up for a coffee just as friends.
But then!
6 MONTHS after he has been with this girl Facebook notifies me THAT THEY ARE ENGAGED. WTF? After 6 months of knowing each other and after telling me he is still in love with me and has feelings for me? To say I was broken is an understatement. But here's what I need to know: why am I still feeling love for him? Why do I still have feelings for him and have immense regret and sadness still? I don't even know how to be friends with him anymore, because we are never going to be just friends. So my question is, how do I get over him? And has he done the right thing, proposing to a girl so soon after saying he is still in love with me? I feel like it is a strange thing to do and for the girl's sake I hope he has done it for the right reasons.
