Before you sell
Before accepting a deal, you need to know what your piece is worth. Here are some factors to consider when valuing your piece:
- Research the piece. Researching your piece can help you understand how much it should be worth. Look at the material it is made of and determine how old it may be.
- Consider the quality. Consider the overall condition of your item. If you have a piece that needs repairs or has scratches, it may affect its worth.
- Consider the rarity. The uniqueness of your piece can positively affect its price. If the piece is one of its kind and rarely found anywhere else in the world, it could be worth more.
- Consider the demand. Some types of jewelry are more in demand than others. Pieces like engagement rings and wedding bands are always in demand, while others may not be as timeless.
- Consider the current trends. Selling your jewelry at a time when it is trending will make your piece more valuable. The jeweler may be willing to pay more to satisfy the demand for trending pieces.
- Get an appraisal. If you’re unsure how to price your jewelry, you can always get an appraisal from one of our expert jewelers. This will give you a more accurate idea of the value of your jewelry and give you confidence when setting a price.
- Be realistic, flexible, and patient. It’s important to take all factors into account when pricing your jewelry. Understanding the true value of your piece, being ready to sell, and remaining patient throughout the process will help you on your journey.
