Do you have jewelry that is beyond repair, outdated or given to you that you no longer wear or want? Deciding what to do with these items can be a difficult personal decision. However, there are a few options available to choose from. Here are three things you can do with old or unwanted jewelry.
Sell Your Old or Unwanted Jewelry
If your old or unwanted jewelry has no sentimental value to you, you can opt to sell the pieces for cash. A local jeweler can appraise the item for you and make an offer or choose to sell it on your behalf through consignment. You may be able to receive more money from a jeweler than trying to sell it on your own or at a pawnshop.
Trade-In Old or Unwanted Jewelry
Another option for your old or unwanted jewelry is to trade the pieces for credit towards a new purchase. Many jewelers offer store credit that can be higher than the cash off you receive from selling the pieces. As a result, you can declutter your jewelry box while having jewelry you will love to wear.
Remount Stones from Old or Unwanted Jewelry
You may have old or unwanted jewelry that contains gemstones you may want to keep. Those gemstones can be removed and remounted into a new piece. Then, the cash value of the rest of the jewelry can be subtracted from the cost of the new jewelry. This can be a fantastic way to modernize an heirloom item that has sentimental value to you.
