Resell your gold jewelry Resell your gold jewelry

IN THIS CHAPTER


          Selling your gold jewellery is never a trivial decision, because behind each piece of jewellery there is often a family history, a precious memory or a strong emotional bond, whether it comes from an inheritance, a gift or an old purchase. Whatever the reason that motivates the resale (financial need, clearance, investment), an essential question arises: how to properly estimate and resell your gold jewelry? 

As a precious metal and refuge value par excellence, gold has an important intrinsic value. However, in order to get a fair price, it is necessary to take a rigorous and methodical approach. This involves three essential steps: 

  • The estimate of the gold jewel 
  • The identification of punches 
  • Choosing the right sales channel 

          As we will develop in the lines below, the value of a jewel depends on two technical criteria: the purity of the gold (expressed in carats or thousandths via the punches) and the exact weight in grams.  

You will understand, selling his gold jewelry is not just a simple commercial or financial transaction. It is above all a structured process, at the crossroads of technique, emotion and heritage strategy.
