How Much Can I Sell My Jewelry For?
Jewelry pricing is determined by many factors, including the quality of the materials, design, and age of the piece. When it comes to precious metals, such as gold and platinum, the current market value is a significant factor in determining the price. However, the weight and purity of the metal also play a crucial role. For gemstones, the quality, size, and rarity have a significant impact on the price.
Another factor to consider is the age and history of the piece. Vintage and antique jewelry tend to have a higher value, especially if they have a unique or historical significance. The condition of the jewelry is also important, as any damage or wear can decrease the value.
Different San Diego jewelry buyers may evaluate these factors differently. That is why we suggest getting a few cash quotes from other buyers, before contacting C. Blackburn Jewelers, so you can see how much higher our cash offer is, and how we arrived at that better offer.
Can I sell my jewelry online in San Diego?
Yes, if you prefer to sell your jewelry online, there are several options to consider. You can sell both new and used jewelry on eBay or Etsy. However, this often can be difficult for sellers who do not have a strong reputation already established on these platforms, because buyers are concerned about buying fake diamond jewelry or watches.
Should I get my jewelry appraised before selling it?
While you may have read that you should get an appraisal from a certified jewelry appraiser before selling your item, we only suggest considering this if you believe your item to be extremely valuable or rare (i.e. a potential resale value over $10,000). For lesser valued items, your appraisal cost will likely significantly cut into your cash profit, and by getting offers from multiple San Diego jewelry buyers, you won’t have to worry about being taken advantage of.
Should I clean and polish my jewelry before selling it?
This should only be done if you are trying to sell jewelry online, and thus need high quality photos that present your jewelry in the best way possible. This isn’t needed when selling diamond jewelry to a San Diego jewelry buyer. They will be able to accurately assess the value of your item without cleaning. And if you are trying to sell a watch that is broken, it is better to not get it fixed, because the replacement part may not be authentic.
Whether you would like to sell gold jewelry, sell a diamond ring, or sell a watch, you can get an immediate cash payment at C. Blackburn Jewelers. We specialize in buying vintage and antique jewelry, as well as fine jewelry made by luxury jewelry brands such as Cartier, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleef & Arpels. Our La Jolla estate jewelry store is just a short drive from Carlsbad, La Mesa, Rancho Santa Fe, and other San Diego communities. Before selling your item to another San Diego jewelry buyer, let us have an opportunity to make you a cash offer first.
