Know what your jewelry is worth before making decisions to sell, gift or donate. Expect honest advice on how to get top dollar for your gold, platinum, silver, estate, antique, vintage, modern, designer, and costume jewelry. Get advice on the resale of diamond engagement rings. The Jewelry Box Detective will explain what you own, answer your questions and guide you towards the next step. For example, would an appraisal by a gemologist increase the amount of money you could get? Should your diamond or colored stone be sent to The Gemological Institute of America for evaluation prior to sale. Should your stone be re cut for a better profit? These are just a few questions worth considering prior to selling.
CONSIDER A LOW COST PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION FIRST.
