The first step is to organize your jewelry, separate diamonds from gemstones & group jewelry by type (rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.) It is important to store diamond jewelry properly, diamonds can scratch other diamonds.

Step two is to clean your jewelry with dish soap and a toothbrush. To ensure you get the very best price for your jewelry, it must look its best—Scrub underneath the center stone and all the crevasses to get rid of dirt and oils. Once you have finished scrubbing, rinse the ring thoroughly under running water. Be sure to rinse off all the soap suds to avoid leaving any residue on your ring. After rinsing, pat the ring dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, which can leave fibers on your ring.

Get Your Jewelry Appraised

Step three is a crucial step in selling your jewelry: Get your jewelry appraised. It is essential that it is done by GIA-trained gemologists who will provide a professional appraisal. They should inspect and test the precious metals, provide the carat weight estimation, the diamond's quality, and clarity grade, as well as a determination of whether it is lab-grown diamonds or natural diamond. They should be able to gauge the true market value and give you a good idea of what the resale value is. Diamond prices fluctuate just like the stock market, this is why having an appraiser that is in touch with the market of buying and selling diamonds, antique jewelry, vintage jewelry, designer jewelry, branded jewelry, loose diamonds, and gemstone jewelry, is imperative. One thing to understand about appraisals is that it is a person's opinion, it's not necessarily what someone would write a check for. When selling your jewelry or diamonds, ask for an appraisal at fair market value, not a retail replacement value. This will give you a better reflection of the liquidation value. Often the actual true value is a fraction of the original sales price.

You can sell jewelry online, at jewelry stores, local jewelers, local diamond buyers, pawn shops, consignment shops, and on online marketplace such as eBay or Esty. Selling diamond jewelry online can be very risky. There are scams everywhere and it is easy for people to take advantage of you. Selling jewelry online can be risky, and can also attract high commission rates, which means less money in your pocket. Local jewelers are the next option, they should be diamond buyers and jewelry sellers that have experience in selling luxury goods. Reputable diamond buyers and jewelry sellers will have GIA-trained gemologists. Professional jewelry buyers will be accredited by the American Gemologist Association, JBT, and JVC. Having these affiliations is very important. A pawn shop is your quickest option. Most pawn shop stores do not have properly trained experts so they take guesses at the true value, which means less money in your pocket.
