Other Local Jewelry Stores - A retail store is often the first place that comes to mind when you’re looking for where to sell jewelry for cash. Local stores may be easily accessible, however they are not licensed as precious metals purchasers or regulated to buy previously owned jewelry. Most do not have a buyback policy on items that they have previously sold and or simply do not have the staff or knowledge to purchase diamonds or fine jewelry.
Other Consignment Shops - Cash is not immediately paid in a consignment shop. You must wait for the item to be resold before you will receive any compensation. It’s rare to get the full value of your jewelry when reselling to a consignment shop. While this is to be expected no matter where you go to some degree, consignment shops also take a consignment fee from the sale, which can be anywhere from 20% to as high as 60%. Be sure to research the consignment store’s reputation and policies before consigning jewelry, in order to get a fair and trustworthy price.
Traditional Pawn Shops - Pawn shops are great for earning quick cash. Seeing that pawn shops are known for selling items at a significantly lower price than retail, don’t expect to get more than 50% of the sticker price on your jewelry, gold, diamonds, and other valuables. It’s also smart to go to pawn shops that specialize specifically in the sale and exchange of jewelry, and to conduct thorough research beforehand. This will help ensure you get the most return on your sale and that you’re working with a reputable establishment.
eBay - Selling jewelry on eBay (or any other online marketplace) is easy to do from the comfort of your own home. That said, jewelry sales on eBay aren’t regulated or overseen by professional jewelers, meaning you run the risk of scams if you’re not careful. You will need to market and research the item yourself and deduct all Ebay fees from your sale. Once the item sells on Ebay, you’ll also have to package and ship your valuables yourself. It’s also smart to pay the insurance fees on all packages should they get lost in the mail.
