4. QUESTION:
   Can a jewelry store sell real diamonds/gold rings on sale?
   For example if the market value of a ring is 00 because of the diamond and gold on it, how can a jewelry store sell it on sale for sale 00?

   Thinking about Kay Jewelers compared to a local jeweler. Kay Jewelers has an anniversary sale so I wonder if its a deal or is the Kay Jewelers stuff a lower quality?

   • ANSWER:
     Most jewelry in jewelry stores is marked up about 200%- or more. Therefore, they can take off quite a bit and still make a profit.

     Diamonds are hard when it comes to pricing. The value has to do with the color, clarity, cut and carat weight. Unless you are an expert, it would be difficult to determine if one diamond is worth more than another. A one carat diamond could be less valuable than a 1/2 carat diamond of a much higher quality.

     Then there is the price of gold. It has gone up recently so if the gold was purchased a few years ago, the jeweler paid a lot less than current price for it.

     This is really a job for an expert - or a jeweler that you really trust.

   • ANSWER:
     You are going to get what the store is willing to pay for it.
     Unless you gold is 100% most jewelry will only be 24 ct gold you can't quote what gold is going for by the ounce and weigh the jewerly.

11. QUESTION:
    Best Way to sell 14k Gold rings?
    I have just came upon some 14k gold rings which are fairly new, almost like a collection of rings. When i researched the price for gold on some websites i got that i could sell it for around £13 per gram. I have around 100 grams, which is still good money but recently i read a daily mail article about the sites which i was looking at saying that they were HUGE rip offs and were selling for around triple that price. I have also checked some jewellers but they are offering poor amounts of money. Does anyone know the best way to sell these rings successfully?
    Thank You

    • ANSWER:
      Do they have hallmarks as shown on the page listed below? If not, it is illegal to sell them as gold in this country.

      http://www.britishhallmarkingcouncil.gov.uk/publications/hallmarks2.pdf

      Please remember that gold is not weighed in the normal way - one 'Troy Ounce' weighs approx 31 grammes, a normal ounce weighs 28g.

12. QUESTION:
    Where can I sell my old gold rings?
    They are barely used and I want to get top dollar for them. I went to a family friend who owns a Hannoush Jewellers and he said that they usually take the ring(s), take the diamonds out, and melt the gold so he'll only give like 50$ or so tops for a 10 Karat ring. This doesn't sound right and I paid good money for these awhile back and don't want to lose money- I want to at least break even.. any ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      He's right. Jewelers have huge markups, you pay for that store full of shiny stuff every time you buy a ring.

      10K gold is worth .44/gram right now, I don't know much about diamonds. Jewelers would be the only ones that would buy unset diamonds, not much market for them on the street.

13. QUESTION:
    I inherited some gold rings and want to sell them, what do I need?
    My great aunt passed away and I got some rings from her estate. Unfortunately I am allergic to gold, they are all 14K and a couple have what looks like diamonds in them. I am getting married this November and need the money to put towards either a ring or the wedding itself. Do I need special paperwork? She died a few years back and I don't have any newspaper announcements or anything from the estate saying I indeed inherited them. What do you all suggest?

14. QUESTION:
    Where is the best place to sell my gold ring in San Francisco?
    Where is the best place to sell my ring in San Francisco ?
    I want to sell my ring its Sapphire Gold And Small Diamond Where should i take it that they will give me a good offer I HATE LOW BALLERS !

    • ANSWER:
      If it's worth a good chunk of change, you might take it to Bonham & Butterfield's. They do auctions about four times a year.

      Get it appraised somewhere, but tell them it's not for insurance purposes (which is always a good deal higher) so you can get a better idea of its worth.

      I don't know of stores that buy outright, but be aware that they would not give you retail price.

15. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to sell a gold ring?
    Gold prices are skyrocketing. I was thinking of selling some heavy gold rings that I no longer where and I need to find out how to get the best price! Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Unless you sell to a private buyer you will not get as much as you would probably like... Diamonds can add to the cost, depending on their size and quality... A few years ago it was .00 per point on a diamond... Gold in almost any jewelry store will be bought for maybe 60% of the actual gold weight.... not the total weight of ring. Someone's idea of ebay is good, but if this is a high ticket item you should have it appraised by a jewelery appraiser. People are cautious when they can't actually see the piece... But if you hve papers to back up your statements that might help...Good Luck

18. QUESTION:
    How can I sell gold (wedding) rings and get some semblence of our money back?
    My ring needs resized and I want a different style, and my husband's also needs to be made a smaller size. But we have in all five gold rings, three 10 carat and two 14 carat. Our local jeweler would only offer -75 for the whole lot. That seems extremely low to me. I'd like to get at least half our money back so that we can just buy my other ring and resize his. Is there any place that would buy them higher or am I stuck with that? Also, what are the chances of me getting a good deal on just like a trade, and have them redesign my current band? (a good deal meaning they take the other rings for most of the payment)
    btw there weren't any categories that really matched my question, so that's why it's stuck in here....

    • ANSWER:
      you can always try the local newspaper, or craigslist.org, and even ebay... it is worth a shot to see if you can get someone interested who will pay more than a wholesale buyer

19. QUESTION:
    Where can I sell gold chains and rings in Edmonton? One chain in particular wieghs about 4 ounces.?

    Without going to a pawn shop which would come nowhere near the value of what gold is worth on the market these days. I saw on the news people were taking chains and rings in but not to pawnshops. I am now divotrced and will never wear the gold he gave me. Both yellow and white gold.

    • ANSWER:
      Gold can be re-melted and used again and again. And, gold works for everyone. The gold price is based on pure gold, but most jewelry isn't pure and is often between 10 and 18 karats, which reduces the price by 40% to 70%. Shops who purchase gold jewelry also take a percentage.

      Independant Jewellers do purchase gold jewelry as a trade in on new purchases. I would give them a call to find out who does buy without having to trade it in on new.

      Design Jewellers in West Edmonton Mall - #2874 West Edmonton Mall ( (780) 489-0079) buy old gold. You could call and make an app't to have them appraise your jewelry.

      Iron Cross Antiques & Jewellery Ltd (780) 952-2900 in Alberta Avenue purchase gold along with antiques. They even make house calls.

      The other options are selling them privately. Most purchasers want an appraisal with it though. You could try selling them by any of the following methods:
      Advertising in the Edmonton Journal, Sun or Examiner
      Online at www.Kijiji.ca
      Or selling them on consignment at some of the jewelers. They will of course take a percentage of the selling price but it may be the next best thing to outright selling to a shop and less hassle then advertising and selling yourself.
      There is a list of shops at the following website - pick some of the ones that have higher end clothing and call them.

      http://www.foundlocally.com/edmonton/Personal/GoodsThrift.htm

      Hopefully I have been able to give you some options. Before selling to anyone make sure you know the approximate value of your items ( especially since gold prices have gone up dramatically in the last little while) May I suggest one more thing - many people who divorce and have jewelry have had them made into custom made new jewelry.

      Good Luck.

26. QUESTION:
    How do I sell my a class gold ring at a pawn shop?
    I do not have experience at dealing with the clerks at pawn shops. Has anybody ever sold gold and gotten a good deal?
    Do you know a system / trick on how to handle your transaction? Thanks a million!!

    • ANSWER:
      The pawn shop will give you a price for what they will pay you for it. Often, they will give you a little more for it if you say you want a loan on it and they think you'll be returning to buy it back. Have you checked into any scrap gold dealers or though about craigslist or ebay? It is possible to have the ring altered for another person(new stone, high school and such).

28. QUESTION:
    On average how much could I sell a gold class ring without knowing the karat from 1994 that cost 0 then?
    With gold over ,000 an ounce, it seems like a good idea to try to sell this class ring. I hold no personal value to it.
    Actually it says 10K. It also says something like 1GB. Whatever that means.

    • ANSWER:
      There should be a hallmark or stamp of the karat.

      It will only have value as metal because the class ring could have no use other than to a member of the class or an imposter.

    How much would a yellow gold ring sell for with diamonds and sapphires?

39. QUESTION:
    How much money could I get if I sell my gold?
    I have 3 gold rings (yellow gold), they are each around 10-14k.
    if i sell them to a jewelry store, how much could I get for each ring?

    • ANSWER:
      Here are a few things to remember:
      Gold is at 20 per troy ounce. One troy ounce is 31.1 grams. You did not say what your rings weigh.
      Pure gold is 24K by definition. 14K gold is 14/24 or 58.3% pure gold. 10K is 10/24 or 41.7% pure gold.
      Coin shops generally pay better for scrap gold than Jewelry stores or pawn shops. Selling gold by mail is sheer foolishness. Do not expect anything extra for any precious stones that may be part of the ring unless they are large diamonds, which should be sold separately anyway.

41. QUESTION:
    How much does 1/4 karat diamond. 24 karat white gold ring sell for?
    My friends wants to sell me this ring but Idont know how much should I pay. What price do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      There are many factors influencing the price of a diamond. Carat weight, color, clarity and the most important, cut.

      The secondhand market for diamonds is not strong. Even less for stones under 1.00ct ,(carat). Try and find out if the seller knows the color and clarity of the stone. Then go from there into a retail store to find out how much the stone and a setting sells for new. You can then pretty much gauge what you are willing to pay for it secondhand.

      Although you won't be able to tell if its well cut.

42. QUESTION:
    Where is the best spot to sell gold?
    I have two gold wedding rings, small and plain, that I don't need and want to sell. I want to get the most for them, so I was hoping someone compared places and could direct me to the right jewler or website.

    • ANSWER:
      Wait. Gold prices are rising.

      A private sale is you best bet, those cash-for-gold places and pawn shops sometimes pay substantially less than "spot".

      Look up the "K" rating of the two rings and weigh them in grams.

      If the ring is not 24K (it's most likely not) multiply it's weight in grams times it's "K" rating and divide by 24.

      Then check spot prices here:

      http://www.kitco.com/market/us_charts.html

      As I write this , spot price is .761US / gram

      Nobody will pay you more than spot price, and they may offer you much less.

    We have old gold jewelry we don't wear anymore and would like to sell it to get money for it. Can you sell jewelry, such as gold rings, to jewlery stores? If not, what are my options? Am I stuck going to a pawn shop?

    • ANSWER:
      If you sell you are only likely to get scrap value for the gold. If they are interesting pieces then you may be able to get a good price for them. Also if They are stone set that could create extra value.
      Another option you could have is having the jewellery restyled to make something you like, here is a little more information about it, http://www.wightmangoldsmiths.co.uk/restyling.htm

    Thanks George, well i just want to have an idea of how much would they pay per gram or something and then i will make some calculations!

    • ANSWER:
      Take it to a jewelry store to be weighed. Most places should be able to give you an idea of it's value. I've heard that the places to send gold advertised on TV are scams. Try sending it direct to a gold refining company.
