Trend-Shaping Profit in Selling Jewelry

Unusually shaped gemstones are trending in 2016. For owners of one-of-a-kind unique jewelry pieces, this is the year to sell. Vibrantly colored centerpieces or specially designed cuts are also standouts this year. Are you an Arizona resident who happens to have a stand-out piece that is ostentatious, eye-catching? Selling jewelry could be in your near future.

Smell the Profit

If your jewelry hasn't seen the light of day for a while, it could be time to dust it off and let another owner appreciate its artistic appeal. Here are a few things to consider on your path to selling jewelry:

  • Getting the best price for your jewelry will take time and effort. An informed seller reaps the most profit.
  • Check with your local jewelers, compare offers and find one that will pay the most for your avant-garde piece.
  • Determine the quality of your gemstones. Chips, even abrasions can negatively impact the price a buyer pays.
  • Make sure to get your jewelry cleaned properly, preferably by a professional. Some local jewelers will clean your jewelry for free. If your piece sparkles, it will be more desirable to buyers.
  • Know your jewelry piece. What condition is it in? What is it's intrinsic worth? Is the style, cut or color of gemstone popular in the current jewelry buying market?

Selling jewelry on the internet is risky. Local jewelers in Phoenix, Arizona offer peace of mind to new jewelry sellers. Face-to-face transactions with certified jewelry professionals ensures you get paid the agreed upon amount for your piece. Online jewelry buying companies or individual jewelry buyers cannot produce that same level of assurance. There are too many unknown variables involved.

Blue Equals Green

Last year the color blue caught the jewelry market's eye and held. Black opals, clustered bits of aquamarine, and tourmaline are all desirable stones for the up and ups in the jewelry world. If you have a colorful gemstone, uniquely shaped, with an intricate setting, your piece speaks volumes to the current tastes of a buying market. It might be time for you to serve up a delectable dish of eye candy to the trendy jewelry connoisseur. Capitalize on what's trending. Pocket some spending money today by selling locally. You'll profit from your effort!
