That said, here are the things you need to lookout for when consulting
with jewelry buying firms here in the big apple. Some of the things
we’ll tell you may not be fancy. They may not even be what you want to
hear, but we feel that as an upstanding company, it’s better to put it
all out there so that you can make the right jewelry selling
decisions.
Your gold, silver, diamonds and other precious metals are only as
valuable as the amount a jewelry buyer in New York will pay for it.
Gold currently costs twice its value a decade ago. So, if you want to
sell, start with your gold.
There are many factors responsible for the price of the jewelry.
Jewelers tend to consider the provenance, the history, current market
value, demand and fashion trends. The appraised value may be much
higher than the true market or “street” value. So, we generally
recommend containing your excitement until you’re made an offer by the
buyer.
Do not list your jewelry on classified sites. You’ll probably get a
lot of ridiculous offers. Instead, walk into a certified jeweler’s
store like Diamond District Buyers and have your jewelry appraised.
You don’t even have to come with the real thing. Very clear pictures
will do. So, if you have some jewelry to sell in New York, walk into
our store and talk to us. We’re more than willing to help you with all
the information and assessment that you need.
