Where can I sell vintage jewelry online?
Do you have some vintage jewelry you’d like to sell? Maybe you inherited some pieces that are not your style, maybe you are considering parting with some jewelry to make some extra money, or maybe you have some pieces in your jewelry box that you no longer wear. When you’re trying to determine where to sell jewelry, it can be confusing. How do you know which jewelry buyers will offer you a fair price? Are you better off deciding to sell gold by its weight or keep the jewelry intact? Here, we’ll answer some of your questions about selling vintage jewelry online.
- Which vintage items are in demand right now? Diamond engagement rings and wedding bands, as well as necklaces, pendants, bracelets, tennis bracelets, and earrings are almost always a safe bet. Right now, though, jewelers are also seeing a lot of interest in big, chunky, colorful, fun pieces from the 1980s and 1990s.
- What is the benefit of selling online? You can sell to a local jeweler or consignment store, but selling online is easier. You don’t have to bargain with anyone, and when you go through a reputable online seller, the process is typically quick. We advise against selling on eBay, because there is a glut of vintage jewelry on that site and you’re unlikely to get a good price with such stiff competition. Rather, go with Etsy, an online consignment site, or an online jewelry seller.
- Is it better to sell gold jewelry intact or for the metal? If you have pieces that are unique or from a high-end brand, it’s probably better to sell the jewelry intact. There are plenty of online sites where you can sell gold, though, and if you think you’d do better selling it just for the metal, you can use a gold calculator on one of those sites for an estimate of the money you can expect to make.
- How do I know the value of my jewelry? Getting your jewelry appraised is a good way to get an idea of how much it’s worth. Look for an appraiser from the American Society of Appraisers, the International Society of Appraisers, or the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers.
