Four Reasons to Sell Gold Jewelry

Oct 26

The obvious reason you would sell gold jewelry is to make money, but the reasons you may decide to do so can be more complex than that.  If you aren’t in urgent need of money but have been considering getting rid of some old pieces, now is one of the best times to sell gold jewelry.  The value of gold is higher than it’s been in the last three decades so take some time to decide if this is the right time for you.

There are many practical reasons to sell gold jewelry and a few reasons that are purely emotional.  No one reason is better than another, but if more than one of these apply to you, it’s probably a sign that now’s the right time to sell.

1.  Your jewelry is broken or damaged.  If you have earrings without mates, brooches with broken clasps or chains that are kinked and twisted, you may keep thinking, “Maybe some day I’ll get if fixed.”  Be brutally honest with yourself.  If you haven’t bothered to get it repaired in years, what is the likelihood you’re going to do so now?  

You may also be shocked at the cost of jewelry repair these days.  The fine craftsmanship required as well as the relative softness of gold both mean a high price tag on repairing damages.  If you sell gold jewelry that is damaged, you can use the money you make to buy brand new pieces that are in perfect condition.

2.  Your jewelry is out of style.  Most people have very particular taste in jewelry so finding the right buyer for older, dated jewelry can be a difficult task.  It will be a time-consuming, costly task to advertise for a buyer for older pieces of gold jewelry and there’s no way to know if you’ll ever find the right buyer.

Companies who buy scrap gold, however, are always happy to buy from you, and they don’t care about the style or any damage to the jewelry.  They won’t penalize you on the gold price because the jewelry is old-fashioned or just plain unattractive!

3.   You don’t have the time to sell gold jewelry pieces individually.  Everyone hopes that their grandfather’s antique watch or grandmother’s set of gold pins can be sold to a collector or someone who will cherish them.  The reality is that it’s very hard to find the right buyer for estate jewelry, and even if you find someone they probably won’t be interested in everything you have.  By splitting things up and selling only a few pieces, you’re cutting into your own time, and you may still have half the pieces sitting around month’s from now.

If you sell gold jewelry to a buyer who wants the gold for scrap, you can get it sold all at one time for a great price.  At the end of the day, you’ll have cash in hand and no more unwanted jewelry to worry about.

4.  Your gold jewelry has bad memories.  Do you still have that engagement ring from an old boyfriend who dumped you before the wedding or gold necklaces from your ex-husband?  Selling gold jewelry that’s associated with unpleasant moments in your past is very empowering.  You’re getting something of value out of items you would otherwise like to forget about.  Don’t hold on to a lingering memory. Get started on a new life with some cash in your pocket.

There are as many reasons to sell gold jewelry for scrap as there are types of jewelry.  If one of the above reasons seems like a perfect reflection of your own life, now is the time to sell gold jewelry and move on with your life.

Turn Your Online Jewelry Store Into a Business Success

Oct 25

As an active jewelry designer who attends meetings and workshops all the time, I hear a lot of jewelry business owners complaining that their online stores are not a success at all. I used my web design experience and a lot of research in the domain to gather a few hands-on tips for you to use and turn your online jewelry store into a business success.



Photos that sell the product – The most important thing you have to remember when you have an online jewelry store is that your customer will not be able to feel your jewelry or try it on to see what it looks like. Therefore, clear photos that show as much detail as possible are very important because, afterall, the photo sells the product. Multiple photos for each item are very helpful to show your potential customer all the details. If you have a necklace, try to have at least one photo on a stand, so they can see what it will look like around their neck. If your necklace has a pendant, take an up-close photo of that alone, so you can show all the details of the stones used. When taking photos of jewelry it is crucial that you do that in daytime, without flash. This approach will show the true colors of the stones used without unnecessary reflections.

Search-friendly sites – If you have the possibility to add a search function on your site, please do so. People don’t always know the names of the stones they are looking for and a search functionality will give them the possibility to look for pieces that have a certain color for instance. The idea here is to create the easiest way for your clients to find what they want. When somebody looks for a pearl bracelet, it will be much easier to type that in the search box and hit “Go”, than look through your entire bracelets category to find what they want. Having a search function on your website will be very helpful to your customers but it will certainly add a little more work for you. When you add a product to your store you will have to always remember to tag it with terms that other people might be searching for.

Detailed information – Product descriptions are very important as well when it comes to online jewelry stores. After your client sees the photos, they will want to know what was used to make that piece of jewelry. Try to give as many details as possible about the materials and techniques used as well as sizes. The overall size of the necklace is important, but also include the size of the pendant if you have one, as photos don’t always show the true ratio of the pendant. If you are a custom jewelry designer, I found that people are always interested to find out what your inspiration was. Share that with your visitors and raise their interest in your products.

One size doesn’t always fit all – Since you are selling items that people wear, remember that “One size fits all” doesn’t always apply. Create your jewelry at standard sizes, but always offer people the opportunity to order a smaller or larger item. This way you will increase your clientele.

The price is right – Last but not least, price your jewelry pieces right. As there is a significantly large number of online jewelry stores, you have to be competitive, but at the same time respectful of your work and the materials you use. The art of pricing is probably one of the most difficult, and there is no exact formula or how-to. Using your best judgement and a lot of research in the market area that you are trying to reach, you can find the formula for your prices.
