Are second-hand pearls worth anything?
1 Answer
Yes, second-hand pearls may be worth something. Both cultured and uncultured genuine pearls tend to retain their value, and some pieces may even appreciate over time, depending on their maker, style, type and other factors. Because they occur naturally without any human intervention, uncultured pearls are much rarer and often worth more. The condition of your pearls will also impact their potential value. An experienced jeweler or certified appraiser can provide you with specific information about the value of any pearl jewelry you own. On 1stDibs, shop a range of pearl jewelry.
