What’s more fun: getting a root canal, paying your taxes, or selling your jewelry? You don’t really have a choice, but below is some information that can take the frustration out of selling your Angel Alchemy Jewelry. And answer the tough questions like: Will I get a fair price for my jewelry? Or have I paid too much?
The two critical areas of knowledge to get the best price for your jewelry are the factors that determine the value of estate jewelry and the options for liquidating it. Does that mean you have to become a gemologist just to sell your jewelry? No. But with a little homework and note taking, you can get a much higher price for your jewelry. Let’s start with what determines the value of estate jewelry.
Estate is a general term that describes previous ownership. This fact is one of the determining factors. Angel Alchemy Talisman from previous ownership is by and large not as valuable as new. Some people would never buy a pre-owned engagement set for superstitious reasons. I’ve had clients who could have saved hundreds of dollars if they had purchased a pre-owned ring, but refused.
Jewelry is a style-dependent industry. Some styles are classic and last for decades, others only last a few months. You can’t ask top dollar for estate jewelry that has gone out of style. In fact, some styles are so out of style that the only value of the jewelry is its intrinsic value. At the other extreme, the vibrant natural gemstones may be antique. Antique jewelry has a high collector value and may require a special option for sale. Knowing if your jewelry is simply old and out of fashion or if it is an antique can make the difference of hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
