Sometimes, you need quick cash to avoid a financial disaster. Other times, you need to free up money to make money. Regardless of what the reason is for wanting or needing funds, if you have some antique jewelry lying around, you’re in luck!

How to Get an Antique Jewelry Appraisal

The first step to selling antique jewelry is finding a place to sell it. Although you can sell independently online, such as on an online community site or through an online platform, like Etsy, eBay, Amazon, or Craigslist, it can become very involved with shipping fees, selling fees, meeting up with the buyer, and other inconveniences and expenses.

Antique jewelry buyers offer an easy way to sell your wares. Plus, your item will be appraised before you make a decision on whether to go through with the selling transaction or not. All you have to do is find one.

Where to Find Antique Jewelry Appraisers

A piece of jewelry that you think is just costume jewelry might actually be worth something. A piece of jewelry that you think is valuable might not be worth anything. Professional antique jewelry appraisers will tell you that sometimes even old appraisals are wrong.

Doing business online can be risky because shady dealers can scam you and then disappear. But, if you check for a longstanding online presence and find plenty of verifiable references, you’ll expand your horizons when you don’t limit yourself only to those in your vicinity.

Dealing with Antique Jewelry Buyers and Appraisers

If you do elect to do business with an antique jewelry buyer, an appraisal will be part of the agenda. You may be charged a fee for the appraisal, or you may be fortunate enough to have a free appraisal.

An appraisal is a professional estimation of what your piece is worth. Many things are taken into consideration, such as if it is gold, silver, or bronze. Also, the location of the piece was designed at and any other information is deemed important to an appraiser.

The appraisal is generally followed by an offer, which is the amount the antique jewelry appraiser is willing to give you for your treasure. You are at liberty to accept the offer or to reject it.

Estate Jewelry Buyers

Estate jewelry buyers are experts at buying, selling, and appraising in bulk. Estate jewelry buyers typically come to you as it would be difficult for them to load up all your items to go to an estate. Ask for credentials and references before committing to an appraisal.
