How to Sell Your Diamond or Gold Jewelry
If you show up prepared, you could maximize your return on your jewelry. Here is what you have to do to make sure you are ready to sell and you are selling to the right shop.
- Choose a safe pawn shop in a good neighborhood. Questionable pawn shops equal questionable deals.
- Have your jewelry appraised or compare it to similar pieces online to determine what you can expect to get.
- Prepare to haggle! If you’re not good at this, bring someone with you that can.
- Clean up your jewelry before you take it to be sold. Polish it up and you’re bound to get even more for your items.
- Whatever you do, don’t act desperate for money, even if you really are that desperate. If it’s obvious that you are hurting for cash, the pawn broker knows you’ll take whatever you can get, meaning you’re not going to be getting much money for your jewelry. Act casual. If asked why you’re selling, tell them you just haven’t worn the jewelry in a while or it no longer fits your taste.
