[slug] => looking-to-sell-your-estate-jewelry [content] =>When selling your estate jewelry, you’ll want to go with a buyer that’s not only trustworthy and reliable, with a long list of satisfied customers – you’ll want to go for the buyer with the highest payout. Global Gold and Silver does research on your jewelry to find out if the value of the pieces might be higher than just their melt value, taking into account factors like scarcity, heritage, vintage appeal, and market trends.
What Exactly Is Considered As Estate Jewelry?
Estate jewelry, simply put, is jewelry which someone has passed on to you. It means you didn’t go down to the jewelry store and purchase it yourself! Most likely it was passed on by your mother or grandmother, or someone else in the family who had a valuable piece of jewelry. Estate jewelry is also sometimes called heirloom jewelry. Some of these pieces can be considered vintage jewelry (20 to 50 years old at least), and some even older ones are known as antique jewelry (at least 100 years old).
Why Do People Sell Estate Jewelry?
Some clients sell their estate jewelry because they may be out of fashion and nobody wears them anymore. Others feel the jewelry does not match their look or their lifestyle. Still others have broken jewelry and do not see the point in repairing them. Jewelry can be sold for its precious metals, its gemstones, or in its entirety if it may have value as a collector’s item.
Do I Have Estate Jewelry In My Home?
Often, estate jewelry goes unnoticed or forgotten because it simply isn’t used. It isn’t uncommon for people to dig up some antique jewelry in the attic of their family home, owned by family members several generations past. Some of these jewelry would fetch a very high price today, especially by collectors with a keen interest in vintage items. If you’re not doing anything with your estate jewelry, it could make sense to sell it off at a good price instead of keeping it at home.
How Do I Sell My Estate Jewelry?
First, find a specialist jewelry store owned by a certified gemologist or someone who is a professional at appraising jewelry and other luxury goods. You’ll want someone who is listed on the Better Business Bureau, has positive reviews on online directories like Yelp and City search, and who has a track record of giving high payouts to previous sellers for their jewelry and other items. Then, make a phone call to book an appointment, or simply walk into any of their stores. Some places also offer the option of selling by post, but it’s always better all around to be there in person if you can.
If you’re in the New York or New Jersey area, look no further than Global Gold and Silver. Our website shows you all the information about our company, our founder, and even reveals the payouts we made to previous customers. Some customers have gotten over $10,000 for their items, and yours might be worth that or even more. Chat with us today!

This may be true, but everything changes when your dining table turns into an ever-growing mountain of bills and debts. Luckily, diamond selling is comparable to the lucrative gold buying industry. There is no question that diamonds are literally and financially one of the most solid investments you can make. However, before you rush out to your nearest dealer it is imperative that you do sufficient research beforehand.
Before you venture into the streets of Manhattan or Brooklyn, it’s a good idea to read online reviews of various businesses. On sites such as Google and Yelp, consumers can write their own experiences with various jewelry buying businesses. While there are nitpickers, it’s a good idea to steer clear of places that have overwhelmingly negative feedback.
The Gold Rush put Canada’s Yukon territory on the map. Now, you don’t have to venture through uncharted territory with your entire life in a duffel bag to strike it rich. The best opportunities are in your own backyard. Whether you live in Jersey City, Long Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, or the far flung leady suburbs, the Diamond rush will never end. This is because prices for diamonds have fluctuated by almost half their initial value within the period of only one year.
It’s understandable that people have emotional detachment to their diamond jewelry. However, consumers should recognize that this usually contributes to inflated value and expectations for what they can actually fetch on today’s market. Many people fail at selling their jewelry because they price it too high; it’s that simple. An appraiser will give you an objective analysis of the stone’s quality. While the carat and condition of the diamond is very important; the overall aesthetic has a huge influence on the desirability of used jewelry.
Almost everyone knows what it’s like to be cash-strapped. This past decade has truly been an economic and emotional roller coaster in many respects. Contrary to popular belief, brokers can help you if you’re broke! In order to generate more business, pawnbrokers and a plethora of other gold and diamond buying businesses will offer free evaluations of your jewelry to determine what you can get on the free market. While this may not be as in-depth as a professional appraiser it can help you with your selling strategy so that you can fetch the compensation you deserve. If you believe your diamond jewelry is worth less than $2500, it’s highly recommended to consider taking this approach.
Even if you are not well-versed or lack connections to the jewelry selling industry, there are lots of basic rules of thumbs that can steer you in the right direction. Comparison window shopping is a very effective strategy, specifically when it includes storefronts and browser tabs. In other words, it’s important to compare the prices of diamond jewelry in local pawnshops and jewelry dealers and compare it to what’s being listed on websites such as eBay and Craigslist. This is because the pricing discrepancy between online and local used jewelry is constantly shifting.

[slug] => sell-old-jewelry-for-cash-or-redesign-it-for-fun [content] =>All of us, some time or another, have inherited or received vintage jewelry. The question is, what are some of the options we can do with it? From selling jewelry to redesigning, there are a couple of answers that will raise your appreciation for acquiring vintage and antique jewelry.One of the options you have when dealing with old jewelry is selling it. If you feel that you have no use for whatever jewelry you have or just need some quick cash, we here at Global Gold and Silver will be more than happy to pay you cash for your unwanted gold and silver jewelry. You can find more information about selling your unwanted jewelry from our previous blog posts.
Another option you have is to redesign your outdated jewelry. Taking apart a vintage bracelet and reconstructing it back together can be fun and creative. Adding or subtracting different components to a piece can turn an old-fashioned necklace into a chic and stylish statement. Even changing up small details like switching from chain to a colored cord can add a pop of color to any new piece of jewelry.
One more helpful tip is turning one piece of jewelry into another! Say for instance you inherited a necklace with precious gems in it but hate the design. At Global Gold and Silver, we are able to sit down with you and discuss your options on how you can turn this piece of jewelry into something you would wear. Those gems can be easily taken apart from that necklace and turned into a beautiful set of redesigned custom earrings!

“With honest and transparent transactions, no hidden fees, and no pressure to sell, we really are the best place to sell gold, diamonds and silver jewelry,” said Global Gold and Silver CEO and President, Steven Madar. “While many of our competitors provide false promises for high payouts, we’re committed to providing only fair and honest transactions. Unlike our competitors we would never seduce you with unrealistic high prices over the phone!”
A few of the ways Global Gold and Silver ensures their customers always receive a fair and honest offer by testing all items in front of the customer; and providing private one-on-one service.
All Items Tested in Front of You
If you try to sell your gold and the gold buyer tells you they have to take your items to the back to test them, don’t believe it. Each gold item should be tested for purity right in front of you, sorted according to its gold content, and it should be weighed on a scale in front of you. Global Gold and Silver does just this, telling you exactly what price you’re getting per troy ounce or per gram of gold.
Professional Service
When selling your gold, coins, and jewelry you should always expect private and one-on-one service. In addition, every legitimate gold buyer is required by law to request a government issued ID from the seller. If this doesn’t happen, that should be a red flag for you. Global Gold and Silver treats its customers with the utmost respect and professionalism, and will always provide you with a written receipt after buying your gold.
Certified Diamond Gemologist and Experienced Staff
Global Gold and Silver is one of the only “cash for gold” companies that employs a Certified Diamond Gemologist as well as an experienced staff with real knowledge about high end watches, gold and silver coins and estate jewelry. They recognize that there are many items worth more than their weight in gold and silver, and their buyers have the tools and experience needed to appraise items according to their history and collectability for proper fair market value.

The Prince Charles and Lady Diana Wedding Coin
This coin is 10 ounces of pure 24 karat gold that commemorates the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. On July 29, 1981, Lady Diana Spencer became Diana, Princess of Wales. The beloved Princess and her marriage to the Prince are commemorated on this spectacular gold coin.
The year of the wedding is printed on the front of the coin, along with the royal crest and the words “Marriage of HRH Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer”. Having this piece of history is remarkable, and is sure to be a treasured part of a collection for generations to come.
Kashmir Sapphire Ring
Sapphires from Kashmir are known to be among the best. With a spectacular cornflower blue color and a sleepy quality, these gems are some of the rarest in the world. The stones are known for the velvety blue color they exhibit naturally.
Discovery of new sapphires that matched the quality of the earliest and most astounding discoveries slowed greatly in 1887, so most of the sapphires that were to be found are already owned across the world. With the exception of private sellers and estate sales, buying a Kashmir sapphire is almost impossible.
Global Gold and Silver is proud to have acquired these fine pieces, making them the hottest purchases of 2012. We look forward to what 2013 has in store for Global Gold and Silver!There are so many gold and silver items that you can sell, but which are the top few that you will receive the most for? We came up with a list of pieces that are being sold the most at Global Gold and Silver and what you can receive the most for:

1. Engagement Rings
These can be worth a large amount of money, but the biggest beneficiaries are those that purchased the ring a long time ago.
2. Gold Jewelry
This category includes chains, bangles, school rings, brooches, and other weighty gold items.
3. Gold and Silver Bullion
Gold and Silver Bullion will pay back its fair market value.
4. Top Brands
We think of top brands as names that don’t go out of style or aren’t forgotten (i.e. Tiffany and Rolex). These brands keep their value over time, because the remarket ability of the item tends to increase its value above what it is worth if the item was melted.
5. Jewelry
Here, we include rings, pendants, earrings, and any other jewelry that can be priced in quantity.
Each of these items depends on the age of the item and the price of gold when the item was purchased. Each category is unique. Take a look at the gold or silver items you have lying around the house, and decide which category your gold and silver items would fit into.
At Global Gold and Silver we take time to assess each piece in front of you and with 20 years of experience, we ensure you get the best price for your gold and silver jewelry.
