DON’T KEEP IT IN A SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX

You loved it once, now you’re ready to move on. If you have diamond jewelry that you don’t wear anymore, why not sell it? Or better yet, why not put it to good use with our diamond trade-in and upgrade program? Maybe it’s a diamond ring that you’ve outgrown, or a necklace that no longer suits your taste, whatever the case, don’t let it sit around or even worse don’t just keep it in a safety deposit box that’s costing you money every single month. Sell it and put the cash to good use or just trade it in for a beautiful new piece you’ll love wearing. As one of the most premier jewelry stores in the state of Georgia, we understand diamonds in a way few do. Let our experts help you with your jewelry needs.

How to Sell Your Jewelry

Will I Get the Same Amount I Paid for My Diamond When I Sell It?

It’s unlikely you’ll get the same amount you paid for your diamond originally. The reason for this is that the retailer you are selling your diamond to can get a comparable diamond at just about any time at wholesale prices from a diamond wholesaler. It costs a lot of money to “sit” on diamond inventory for long periods of time. For that reason, you will not be offered the price you paid for your diamond.

Can I Expect to Get the Same Amount I Paid for My Jewelry When I Sell it?

As with diamonds, the same holds true for jewelry – you will not get the same amount you originally paid. Again, this is because the jewelry store can purchase, or even make a comparable piece, at a wholesale price. It also has to do with keeping the right inventory. In the jewelry business having and selling the “right” jewelry is very critical. Kept unchecked, having too much inventory you can’t move can contribute to a jewelry store going out of business.

Should I Go To a “We Buy Gold” Shop To Sell My Diamond or Jewelry?

As the “gold craze” has slowed down, you may have noticed there are fewer “We Buy Gold” outfits around town. The reason is because the only thing they are interested in is your gold. They make money by buying your gold and they are also not qualified to grade diamonds. Certainly they would love to have your diamonds but you are not going to get paid much for them, if at all. These outfits do not have a qualified diamond buyer that can properly grade your diamond or properly evaluate your jewelry. This means you won’t be paid what your diamond or jewelry is worth, you’ll only be paid for the weight of gold.

Should I Sell My Diamond or Jewelry?

The determining factor has to do with whether or not you’ll ever wear the jewelry again. If not, it’s time to sell and do something good for yourself or a loved one with the proceeds. If you are never going to wear that diamond ring or the jewelry Grandma left you, and it’s just sitting around, sell it or trade it for a piece that you will love and actually wear.

What If I Still Have Sentimental Attachment To The Jewelry?

Because diamonds are often symbols of passion and love, they can be harder to part with than any other piece of jewelry. Nonetheless, you have to leave your emotions out of selling. Sentimental feelings may raise the price of the diamond in your eyes, but a potential buyer won’t be so moved. If you are considering selling diamond jewelry whose sentimental value has diminished but you’re still clinging to memories, recognize that while it was a part of your life at one time, and most likely represented someone or something important to you, you need to move on. Diamonds are only material things. Your peace of mind is more important.

What Are My Options to Sell My Diamond or Jewelry?

By far your best option is to sell your diamond or jewelry to a trusted and qualified jeweler. The primary advantage of selling to someone in the jewelry industry is time. If you want to sell quickly and safely with little fuss over marketing your valuables, target a respected jewelry store. Work with a jeweler who has earned its good reputation, rather than one that has purchased it through clever internet marketing.

You could also try to sell it to another individual who is interested. If you decide to go this route, you may consider advertising on Ebay (only if you are an experienced seller), in the local classifieds, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace.

With Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, you need to be careful of potentially dangerous situations when meeting strangers. Be sure to meet at a police precinct of your choosing and be cautious about the form of payment you will accept. You should also be wary of scammers regardless of what online forum you might use to sell your jewelry.

Should I Get an Appraisal on My Diamond or Jewelry by an Independent Jeweler Before I Sell Them?

A professional jewelry store that has a GIA Graduate Gemologist on staff has the knowledge to properly evaluate and make you a realistic offer. You will never get back the money you spend on an appraisal of a piece you are looking to sell.
