Sell Jewelry For Entertainment And Revenue Do you have a love for jewelry? Perhaps your keen eye and discerning taste has earned you a reputation among your friends. Mixing and matching your own pieces for everyday wear can be rewarding on its own. You need to put those talents to work if you want a reward that also could result in a fat bank account. It is easy to sell jewelry for both fun and profit; it just takes a bit of sleuthing and a lot of collecting. What to Sell Fine jewelry gets better over time, just like wine. However, it requires some skill and more than a little know-how to find these forgotten treasures. There are a few dos and don'ts to make note of when you start selecting pieces with the goal of reselling. First, look for quality. Pieces that are made of silver and gold retain their value well because they are ageless. Whether loose or in engagement rings, diamonds can net a nice profit. You should also think about craftsmanship beyond the jewels and metals. Fine jewelry is almost always wellcrafted so learn to evaluate how a piece was constructed. Do the research. Knowing how to recognize a precious jewel among a sea of fakes is essential. When in doubt, ask for certificate of authenticity or an appraisal. Although it’s smart to reserve appraisal fees for those truly special finds, don’t rule out the usefulness of having a specialist look at a piece. Rings and necklaces shouldn't be the only things you look for. Secondhand watches which are of high-quality are in demand too. When you do spy a steal in a display case, the research you have done into popular brands and their price tags will pay dividends. Where to Search The obvious starting point is your own jewelry box. After all, you have probably accumulated quite a collection. Because tastes change as time passes and because it’s very easy to pick up a piece or two that failed to become favorites, there are probably some forgotten treasures hidden in drawers just waiting for a new home. Expand the hunt once you have sorted through your own collection. Prime hunting can be done at estate sales. Look online for upcoming sales and read the auction descriptions carefully. Because most people will not be there looking to score jewelry, sales including a number of high-ticket items such as vehicles or farm equipment can be great choices. There are also thrift stores in affluent areas which should be investigated. You never know when you will come across a unique, vintage brooch or a beautiful pendant; these finds can result in a high resell value. Reselling Once you’ve gathered an inventory, it’s time to locate a buyer. Do a quick internet search or scan the yellow pages to find prospective buyers. One great option is jewelry stores. In addition to lines of new wedding rings, many stores also keep an inventory of high-quality used pieces. Watches, Gray & Sons
