Whether you’ve inherited precious jewelry or have decided to part ways with some of your own collection, the process of selling these valuable items can be confusing at first. Knowing how to navigate the world of gemstones and gold jewelry is crucial in ensuring that you get the best possible price for your items.

In this guide, we’ll explore how to sell diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and gold (14 karat or 18 karat) jewelry, and explain how partnering with a trusted expert like Stewart Kuper Jewelers can simplify the process and help you determine the value of your items.

Selling Diamonds, Gemstones and Gold Jewelry To Stewart Kuper Jewelers. 

Before you begin selling your gemstones and gold jewelry, it’s essential to have a basic understanding of their characteristics and how they’re valued.

Diamonds

Diamonds are assessed based on the 4 Cs – carat, cut, clarity, and color. Carat refers to the weight of the diamond, while cut determines how well the diamond reflects light. Clarity is graded based on the presence of inclusions or blemishes, and color refers to the presence or absence of hue in the diamond.

Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires

These precious colored gemstones are valued based on their color, clarity, carat weight, and cut. For colored gemstones, the color is the most significant factor, with more intense and vivid hues commanding higher prices.

Gold

Gold jewelry is typically crafted in 14 karat (58.5% gold) or 18 karat (75% gold) variations. The karatage determines the purity of the gold used in the piece, with higher karat gold being more valuable.

Research The Market

Understanding the current market trends for gemstones and gold jewelry can give you an idea of what to expect when selling your items. Look for up-to-date market reports and price guides to get an overview of the current landscape.

Although Stewart Kuper Jewelers is known to pay up to 80% of today’s spot market value for gold, it’s helpful to know what to expect. Many times clients will come in to sell their jewelry without an understanding of it’s true value, therefore feeling disappointed when expectations aren’t met.

Things To Keep In Mind

Most clients do not know the worth of their jewelry, and we don’t expect you to either. While doing light research sets realistic expectations, it is not imperative to do so. Don’t worry if you don’t know the worth of your jewelry, or haven’t had a chance to research the market for resell information. We are happy to look at your items and give you an evaluation on the spot. Also, please do not spend time cleaning your jewelry before bringing it in to us. While clean jewelry is beautiful, cleaning your gemstones, diamonds, gold, and coins will not make them more valuable.
