Whatever your reason for selling, the most important thing is to find a trustworthy seller that will pay you a fair amount. There are 2 steps to follow in order sell your fine jewelry:
1. Find Out The Details On Your Piece
Any buyer will want to know the details of the item that you are looking to sell. Below we have outlined the key information you need:
| INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED | |
| DIAMONDS | The carat weight, color grade and clarity grade. You can typically find this information on a diamond certificate (such as a GIA certificate, Gemological Institute of America), jewelry insurance or appraisal. |
| METAL | Is it gold, platinum or silver? If it is gold, what is the karat weight? Karat weight refers to the purity of the gold. |
| GEMSTONES | Carat weight. This refers to the weight of the diamond, measured in carats. |
| BRAND | Is it Tiffany, Chopard, Van Cleef, Cartier, Graff, Harry Winston etc.? Luxury designer brands sell for a premium, especially if you still have the original box and papers. |
| TIME PERIOD | Is your jewelry modern? Or are you selling vintage jewelry or antique jewelry? |
You may have the original paperwork on your piece that details the brand and the quality of any precious metals or stones. In which case you are in a good position to start selling.
If you do not, then it is important to get an educated opinion. A local jeweler can often give you a good idea of the characteristics of your jewelry at no cost. You do not need to ask for a written appraisal (there are typically costs associated with this).

Sell Online To Consumers

What Is High-End Jewelry?
You may be wondering what is defined as high-end jewelry. 'High-end' is of course a subjective term.
Designer jewelry from luxury brands such as Chopard, BVLGARI or Van Cleef & Arpels is considered high-end jewelry. Equally, diamond jewelry such as an engagement ring or diamond ring with high quality diamonds would also be considered high-end.
The fact is, if your jewelry or luxury watch has monetary or emotional value you will of course be looking to sell it securely and for the best price. That is where myGemma comes in. We understand the value of your jewelry and always work our hardest to get you the most money. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer care, professionalism and expert knowledge of the second-hand luxury market.
