Choose the Right Selling Guide for Your Item
Different assets are evaluated in different ways. A diamond is not priced like gold, and a Rolex is not evaluated like an ordinary piece of jewelry. Start with the guide that matches what you are selling so you can understand the factors buyers are likely to review before you request an offer.
Jewelry Selling Basics
Fine, estate and designer jewelry can carry value beyond metal weight alone. Before selling, note any metal marks, gemstones, signatures or brand names, visible condition and available paperwork. Pieces with diamonds, recognizable design or collectible interest should be evaluated as complete items before being treated as scrap.
Diamond Selling Guide
Learn how to sell diamonds, loose stones and diamond rings with a clearer understanding of the 4Cs, grading reports, shape and size demand, mounted versus loose stones, and the difference between retail pricing and resale value. The guide also explains how to prepare photos and documents before an appraisal.
Rolex Selling Guide
If you are researching how to sell a Rolex, start with the factors that usually affect resale value: model and reference, condition, originality, box and papers, service history, completeness and current secondary-market demand. The guide also covers how to prepare a watch for an online or in-person evaluation.
