How can you not love David Yurman jewelry, with its beautiful intricate pieces and well-known fans who wear it such as Kate Moss and Brad Pitt? Now, if you’re trying to sell this jewelry then there’s a good chance you can make a pretty penny off of it if done correctly. Here are a few steps to follow before you sell.
- You’ll need to have proof that the pieces you are selling are actually David Yurman. This can be a receipt from purchase, information about any repairs on it, or a stone certificate stating the cut, clarity, color and carat weight.
- Don’t expect to get as much out of this jewelry as you put into it. More than likely you’ll be receiving below retail value for your David Yurman pieces unless it’s limited edition or something highly sought after.
- To avoid middle-men, you could first ask any friends or family members if they would be interested in buying. Plus, this may be more comfortable for you than selling to a stranger.
- Compare prices online or at a local jeweler. The amount of interest they express is going to rely mostly on how high the demand is for the item you’re bringing in and its condition. If you are offered a pretty low price, it’s either because they are taking a risk or because they have to pay to have the item certified.
- If your piece is worth several thousand dollars or more, an auction house might be your best option. Yes, it’s a lengthy process, maybe even several months, but if you’re in no particular hurry then you may make much more this way. However, there is usually a commission charge of 10 to 20 percent.
