The internet has bettered our lives in countless ways, from the way we work to the way we shop. With unprecedented access to buyers from the comfort of home, it has also made selling jewelry faster and easier than ever.
Why Sell Your Unwanted Jewelry?
People have different reasons for selling various types of jewelry. In some cases, it’s a matter of cleaning out an old jewelry box and freeing up storage for updated pieces. In others, a person may have inherited heirloom jewelry from a loved one that they have no use for. It’s also quite common for a person to sell an old promise, engagement, or wedding ring after the end of a relationship.
Whether your reasons are financial, practical, or emotional, there’s no need to continue holding on to pieces you don’t connect with. If you sell jewelry online, you can clean out your storage and start fresh without sacrificing their material worth.
Where to Sell Jewelry
There are a wide variety of options for selling jewelry both online and in person, such as:
- Jewelry stores: Standard jewelry retailers sometimes buy jewelry and gemstones for resale or reuse. However, because they have to run a physical store, they typically only offer sellers a portion of items’ retail value. There’s also no guarantee they’ll buy your items at all.
- Pawn shops: Pawn shops are similar to jewelry stores in that they focus primarily on reselling your items. They will keep a portion of the resale value, and they may not be interested in all of your items.
- Online sales platforms like Etsy and eBay: Platforms like these make it possible to sell to customers on your own, but they are still retail-focused. Not only is it up to you to market your items and gather interest, the platforms generally take a portion of each sale as a fee.
- Direct online gold and diamond buyers: Online direct buyers like Cash for Gold USA recycle jewelry. We buy any item regardless of its condition or consumers’ preferences.

How to Determine What Your Jewelry is Worth
The value of a piece of jewelry is based on different factors, depending on its materials. For precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, the value is based on the current market price and the weight of the material; check your jewelry for markings to help identify what you have. For diamonds and other gemstones, determining value is a little more complex.
Diamonds are appraised based primarily on four key categories: cut, clarity, color, and carat. A trained evaluator will look for certain characteristics under each category and assign an appropriate grade. The better the stone scores in these areas, the higher its value is likely to be.
If you’re selling jewelry made from multiple types of metal and/or gemstones, you’ll be paid for the value of each material.
