Selling and Buying Estate Jewelry
When it comes to estate jewelry, there are people looking to sell old family jewelry pieces that they no longer want to keep, but there are also people who are looking to buy estate jewelry because of its classic elegance and beauty. Either way, having a good understanding of estate jewelry and understanding how to determine the value of estate jewelry is important for both parties.
When it comes to estate jewelry, everything old becomes new again. The old pieces of diamond jewelry that you have been storing for all of these years are like a new found piece of diamond jewelry to those who enjoy collecting and wearing it. It is also important to realize that estate jewelry is not necessarily antique jewelry. Estate jewelry is any jewelry that has been previously owned and it may be vintage, but antique jewelry has to be at least 100 years old or older.
For those selling estate jewelry, it is first a good idea to have an appraisal done on the jewelry. This provides you with a starting point on what your estate jewelry is actually worth. Jewelry that is from well-known companies, such as Tiffany, tends to have a greater value in the market. However, keep in mind that you cannot always sell your estate jewelry for the price that it appraises for. This is just a starting point for you. The local market will also dictate the value of your jewelry, so it's a wise decision to consult several jewelers in your area about the value of the jewelry as well. It is also smart to check several markets, as diamond values and diamond prices can vary from city to city, especially when it comes to your small local market compared to a market such as New York City.
For those looking to buy estate jewelry, it is important to consider whether or not the pieces you are going to purchase are really valuable. With estate jewelry, prices can range drastically from very cheap to very expensive. Consider the merchandise and always ask if diamond jewelry has some sort of identification or appraisal certificate stating the piece's true value.
Both buyers and sellers should familiarize themselves with the different time periods certain pieces of jewelry appeared as well. There are several different time periods, such as Georgian, Art Deco or Art Nouveau and each time period will have different values associated with it. Whether you're buying or selling, research is important.
Because the local market can influence diamond prices and diamond values, it is always a good idea to consult a company that is in the heart of the largest diamond market – New York City.
