Welcome to our blog. Today we are going to dive into how to sell your unwanted engagement ring, diamond ring or fine jewelry. Unwanted diamonds & jewelry may seem like insignificant items when they are sitting in your jewelry box collecting dust. Your diamond jewelry may no longer fit, your vintage jewelry may be broken. Selling Vintage jewelry, used engagement rings, wedding band, designer jewelry and antique jewelry is easier than ever. Unlock the value of your undesired jewelry and turn it into a financial asset by getting the highest price for your diamond jewelry or engagement ring. Selling your unwanted fine jewelry can be a very intimidating task. To get a fair price it's important that you follow these steps to maximize and get the highest price for your diamond jewelry or engagement ring

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. Make sure to separate your engagement ring from your diamond jewelry because it will scratch your jewelry.

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.

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.

The next step to sell your jewelry is to decide how you want to sell your jewelry. There are many options to sell your jewelry. 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.

Photograph your jewelry with high-quality images. It doesn't hurt to take an inventory of what you own with images, you never know what can happen. A modern Iphone or andriod will do just fine. Keep the photos safe.

The final step in selling jewelry is to Weigh the pros and cons of selling your engagement ring or jewelry online, to a pawn shop, a diamond buyer, or jewelry store. Online buyers are risky and can take high commissions. Pawnshops are quick money, and jewelry stores have high expenses. Take all this into consideration and then gather your clean jewelry, diamond grading report, and appraisals and head to your diamond buyers, jewelry stores, online marketplace or jewelry buyers to present all your documents & jewelry.
