When it comes to selling jewelry, it’s best to evaluate what
you have and compare it to what’s in demand. Though you may be ready to get rid
of that gold bracelet you don’t wear anymore, be sure you can get a good sum
for it. Jewelers want quality pieces – gold, diamonds, silver. But it also
depends on the karat. Here’s a look at some of the pieces that are worth
selling.
Diamonds
Not only are diamonds a girl’s best friend, they’re also a
jeweler’s best friends. Diamonds in any form – on bracelets, necklaces, rings,
etc. are highly valued for resale. Selling gold pieces that are encrusted with diamonds
will be even more enticing to potential buyers. Know how many karats you have
so you know you’re getting true value for your piece.
Watches
Gold watches are often exchanged for cash because they are a
sign of the times. Watches reflect trends in jewelry design that may not last long.
Take for instance watch faces of the 1980s. When these watches are no longer trendy, they’re perfect pieces to sell. Regardless of fad, they’re often well-made and retain their value.
Necklaces
Like watches, necklaces are also indicative of fashion trends,
which make them popular for resale. They also often fall victim to damage because of delicate fasteners. This is no matter to jewelers who may end up melting it down into bullion bars. As long as you have a necklace made from quality metals, you’ll find success in selling it.
Bracelets
Much like necklaces, bracelets are sellable whether they’re
functional or not. This makes them a great asset to have when it comes to
selling your jewelry. Bracelets are also high in demand because they can be
resold easily – if they’re in good condition – or melted down to create bullion
bars or gold coins.
Rings
Aside from the typical story of newly-single women pawning
their wedding ring, rings of all kinds are great pieces to sell. Gold rings,
diamond rings, and even platinum rings fetch a pretty penny with the right
jeweler. Just be sure it doesn’t have any significance because it’ll be resold
in no time.
Whether you have one or more of these pieces of jewelry in
your jewelry box, you’ll most likely be able to make a quick buck. It’s worth
evaluating what pieces sell better than others to make sure you get the most
from your jewelry selling experience. After all, once the piece is sold, you’re
most likely never going to see it again.
