Many people advertise themselves as jewelry buyers or gold buyers. So why sell to a jewelry specialist like Jackie Abraham Jewelers? Simply put, selling your fine jewelry to a jewelry specialist is more secure and can get you a higher offer price for your items.
Let’s talk about why selling to a jewelry specialist can help you get a better price for your fine jewelry. A jewelry specialist will fully understand the value of your jewelry, including the value of its materials, its design, and its brand. A jewelry specialist will also already have a network of potential buyers at the ready. Combined, these two things mean that a jewelry specialist will usually offer a much better price for fine jewelry pieces. This is true for all fine jewelry but is particularly true for rare pieces, such as antique jewelry, vintage jewelry, and vintage luxury watches.
A gold buyer or a pawn shop employee is very unlikely to understand the fair market value of fine jewelry. This is especially the case for pawn shop employees, who often know next to nothing about fine jewelry and thereby give ludicrously lowball offers for high end pieces.
In the modern era, you can also sell your fine jewelry online. But this is where the issue of security comes in. There are many types of online scams you’ll need watch out for if you’re thinking of selling your jewelry online. Commonly, online jewelry buyers try to trick jewelry owners into accepting low offers, claiming that they are “experts” who understand value better than the seller. Another common danger of online selling is that you may send your jewelry to someone and never see payment for the item. This may seem easy to avoid— can’t you just get paid upfront? But be wary of the fine print of online marketplaces. Many have loopholes in which a buyer can pay, receive the item, then get their money back from you, without sending you back the jewelry.
But you don’t have to deal with the fear of scams if you sell to a reputable buyer. And if you sell to a reputable jewelry specialist who understands the fair market value of your jewelry, you don’t have to worry about lowball offers.
