Common Mistakes When Selling Jewelry

If you’re looking to sell wedding jewelry or any other type of jewelry, AAA Jewelers is your first stop in Utah. We’ve been buying and selling beautiful jewelry since 1946, and our staff is experienced at bringing you fair offers and a convenient process.

Whether through seedy buyers or a basic lack of knowledge, we’ve seen many people come out on the wrong end of these kinds of deals in the past – and we don’t want that happening to you or any of our valued customers. With that in mind, here are a few basic mistakes to avoid if you’re looking to get the best possible return on your jewelry.

Rushing the Sale

There might be times where you need the proceeds from a jewelry sale for other important financial considerations, but don’t let this cost you a big sum. Consider all your potential options, and take the time to understand the process. Many people rush their inspections or cleanings of jewelry, one of the quickest ways to miss any issues with the condition and cost yourself for what should have been an easy fix. If you leave yourself the time to properly observe the steps in the process, you’ll maximize your potential profits.

Not Knowing Value

Before you walk in the door to any potential jewelry buyer, you should have a solid idea of what your piece is worth. This involves collecting any documentation you have regarding your jewelry, then scheduling an appointment with an appraiser. You won’t always get exactly even value from a potential buyer, but knowing your range allows you to comfortably sit at the negotiating table.

Being Pressured

Once you’re at this table, don’t let anyone – even more experienced members of the industry – pressure you into anything you aren’t comfortable with. This is your jewelry, and all decisions are yours and yours alone. Any buyer who would put undue pressure on you to accept an offer quickly or refuse to consider other offers isn’t reputable, and may have ulterior motives.

Not Using a Reputable Buyer

You need a professional jewelry buyer if you’re selling a nice piece, and nothing less. A professional buyer is GIA trained and certified, just like all our staff members at AAA Jewelers. We know how to determine the exact value of your jewelry, and we’re in tune with the market conditions that might affect sale prices. Our focus is first on getting you the fair compensation for your piece, not simply how quickly we can turn around and sell it again.

Luckily, you’ve already found your reputable buyer. To sell jewelry or learn more about any of our products or services, speak to one of our experts at AAA Jewelers today.
