There are a few moments in life when we feel compelled to sell our jewelry for some extra cash. Selling ones priced jewelry takes a lot of courage and letting go off. But more than letting go the emotional bonding, the person selling the jewelry is haunted with the mind-numbing question of getting a fair price for the jewelry?
Before we start giving you pointers on how to sell your prized possessions for the best deal, let’s first take a look at the facts that determine the price of the jewelry.
