I have a few jewelry pieces that I inherited several years ago. These are somewhat high value items.
Specifically, 1 custom diamond ring with a 1.96 carot center stone, a emerald ring with large center emerald, and a couple of modest diamond pendent & earring sets. These were all purchased at a local (now defunct) diamond/jewelry store. I have the original receipts & appraisal from time of purchase. The two rings were in the $7,000 range (1980's). That seller was a respected, long-time merchant (might have merged with Shane Co.?). Also have a never worn pearl necklace.
I realize used jewelry may not sell for the same as new (although I don't understand why it applies to stones). I'd like to sell it for a fair price but don't want to get fleeced. Also, I don't know if the market for loose diamonds would be better than for the whole ring when accounting for style or preferences.
Anyone know of a good way to sell these type things? I am not into jewelry and am basically in the dark on this subject.
