Ferrari Mailing List: Off Topic -- Selling Jewelry

[Larry T (l02turner]

Hi Gang -
    Ya'll have always been helpful in the past - and I really appreciate all he great advice I've rec'd over the years.  I have another question you might be able to help with --  over the years we have accumulated numerous pieces of jewelry and we are not wearing them or doing anything else so we thought we might sell them but don't really know the best way to do that.   It's mostly rings, necklaces and such -


     There are always people on TV looking to buy gold but I'm not very trusting of them.  So, are there any guidelines for pricing the various grades of gold used in jewelry?  I am pretty sure most of our stuff is 10k, 14k with a few 18k.    I suspect any jewelry with precious stones will be even harder to price and have been told that unless there is something very special about a diamond, etc not to expect to get much in return for it.  Basically if you enjoy it wear it and enjoy it...

    Any thoughts or advice anyone would care to share?

Thanks!
