It’s time. You’ve made the decision.
You’re going to sell your diamond ring, precious stones or signed Cartier brooch. You think a local jeweler might give you the best price.
Keep in mind the offer you’ll receive will be heavily discounted. You may be offered 50% of less of your purchase price.
Why? Because jewelry stores buy new jewelry at wholesale prices. A jeweler has to ask, "Why should I buy an old ring or brooch at a retail price when I can get brand new items for less?"
In many cases, the jeweler will buy your jewelry - only - with the intent of melting the metal down and remounting the stones into a new piece.
There is no incentive for a jeweler to give you more. Your jewelry has little value to them.
If you know your diamonds or precious stones are valued below $2,000, get several quotes from different jewelers to determine what they will pay you. But, if they are worth more - contact a reputable firm like Nelson Rarities.
Over the past 40 years, we’ve helped thousands of people evaluate the true value of their signed jewelry pieces, precious stones and designer works of art.
And, in many cases, we’ve bought their item - at the best possible price.
