Selling inherited or estate jewelry| 5 Things you must know

Updated: Jan 21, 2021

Lets begin by addressing that jewelry holds a significant amount of emotional and monetary value and we understand that you might be vulnerable at this point, therefore we are here to help you rationalize and educate you on the MUST-DO''s as you decide to sell your inherited or estate jewelry.


1) Make sure you can gather as many certificates or jewelry licenses or receipts as you can. These add value to your jewels and make them easier to sell.


2) Shop around to get the best price for your jewelry. The buy-back business has many players and many retailers markup their prices which leaves you with lousy cash in hand


3) We understand the emotional attachment and value a piece of jewelry can have and we hope that in order to move forward you need to let go of the past. And this time, make it profitable.


4) You need to know the value of your jewelry, even if it is as simple as getting as multiple quotes from different buy-back programs. Keep in mind that while getting an appraisal, there are 2 types of appraisal an insurance appraisal and a resale value appraisal. If you are just getting an insurance on your jewelry most likely the price of your jewlery will be inflated; i.e. they'll quote you a higher price for your jewlery. BUT, if you get a re-sale appraisal, most likely your jewelry will be quoted at a cheaper rate. Therefore make sure that you understand the different appraisals before selling your jewelry.


5) Last but not the least, sell with trust and confidence. Selling with SellRing is our preferred method as it a no sign up, free of cost process, which can be all done online within a couple days with excellent customer service and clear step by step process.
