Is used jewelry worth anything?

1 Answer
Is used jewelry worth anything?
Yes, used jewelry may be worth something. Precious metals and gemstones often retain their value over time, and both fine and costume jewelry may have value beyond the potential selling price of its materials due to its age, style, type, condition and other factors. The maker can also greatly impact value, as collectors often seek pieces from well-known jewelry houses like Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Harry Winston, Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Buccellati, Chopard, Boucheron and Graff. If you're curious as to how much pieces in your collection may be worth, a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can be of assistance.
