Most people have a box or two of broken or unwanted jewelry. Sometimes stones have been lost, other times they have come loose and are doing nothing more than rattling around. In other cases, the jewelry is inherited. They are often older pieces, most of only modest value that are not particularly sentimental. All of these items do not need to remain in a box, attic trunk or a dresser drawer. Instead, they could be sold for cash or traded in for something that is actually wanted.
A Diamond Buyer in Edmond is someone who understands the market value of all types of jewelry. They can be jewelers who purchase older pieces to create new settings or they may be just buyers and sellers who sometimes offer the items they purchase to jewelers who will melt down the gold and fashion entirely new designs.
Unlike when selling jewelry in an auction or at a pawn shop, a diamond buyer in Edmond will not price the item based on what it is or the beauty of its setting. They are interested in the value of the metal and the stones individually. They will usually separate these items and weigh them on their own. With diamonds, each are carefully inspected for their clarity and quality.
Once the appraisal is complete, the seller has the right to either accept or decline the offer. If they do accept, they are paid for the items immediately. In some shops the items will be held for a specific amount of time just in case the seller has second thoughts about the sale. This is not always the case, so it is a good idea to ask before making a final decision. Most buyers are happy to purchase one item or a bundle of pieces. They will still price the items individually, not offer one reduced price for the whole lot.
People who are interested in finding unique items that are lower in cost than retail jewelry, but with the same quality, should also talk to these buyers. In some instances, particularly with designer jewelry, the piece is more valuable than its components. In this instance, as well as when other beautiful items are returned, they are offered for sale to others at prices far below retail.
