You have decided to sell your engagement ring to free yourself of the horrors of your marriage. How much can you sell your ring? Several factors contribute to your ring’s resale value.

•   Brand

Some fine jewelry brands hold their value well on the pre-owned market and have high resale values. A pre-owned Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and Cartier jewelry will typically have high resale values. For example, a Tiffany & Co.  diamond engagement ring will sell more on the second-hand market than an unsigned diamond ring even with similar specifications.  

•  Materials

The metals and gems of your jewelry always affect its resale value. Does your jewelry have 18K or 22K gold? Perhaps you have a sterling silver piece which is lesser in value than pure gold but nevertheless a desirable material.  

How about the gemstones in your piece? If what you have is a diamond, it will be valued based on its color, cut, clarity, and carat weight. Conversely, the value of emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and other colored gemstones is based on their quality and market demand.

•  Design and Craftsmanship

Is your jewelry from a renowned luxury brand or designer? If it is, then it will have a higher resale value.

•   Condition

Does your jewelry look the same as the day it was bought? Your jewelry will fetch a higher resale value if it does not have dents, scratches, or missing stones. You will get more for your jewelry which is in mint condition than if it comes with visible evident signs of wear.   

• Box and papers

Do you still have the original packaging of your jewelry? How about the warranty card or sales receipt? The Tiffany & Co., iconic blue box is as popular as its jewelry. Collectors and watch enthusiasts pay more for pieces with their original boxes and documents.

•  Market trends

Does your jewelry have a high demand in the secondary market? Jewelry that is more desirable because of its brand, materials, design, or craftsmanship has a high resale value.

You may have high expectations for your jewelry due to its sentimental value. Research market trends of similar pieces to determine a price range.

When selling your jewelry, know the best place to sell it to get the most money. You will get the highest price if you sell directly to an end user. If you do not want to do the selling yourself, you can opt for these options.

• You will get immediate cash but the lowest price if you sell your jewelry to pawn shops. This is so because they do not have much knowledge about luxury jewelry.
• You can sell your jewelry online through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or eBay. These platforms have a global reach, however, be prepared to do all the hard work such as listing your item and negotiating with potential buyers. You also need to handle shipping and collection.
•  Auction houses have a thorough understanding of luxury jewelry. The catch though is, they charge exorbitant fees for selling your jewelry.
•  Local jewelry stores may have the expertise to assess the worth of your jewelry. However, they typically offer low prices because they need to get a good profit when they resell your item.
• Specialised jewelry buyers will offer you the best possible price for your piece because they understand and appreciate luxury jewelry.

Only sell your jewelry to expert and professional pre-owned jewelry buyers to ensure you will not get scammed. With them, you can maximize the value of your jewelry.
