If you get divorced and remarried, one of the last
things you will probably ever consider wearing would be your wedding jewelry
from your first marriage. Typically speaking, it is considered polite to
put those items away where they never see the light of day.
And yet there are quite a few people that would say
that since you won't be comfortable wearing your old ring, why not consider
selling it and using the money you receive to do something you enjoy? The
jewelry will no longer be around to remind you and your new spouse of your
first marriage, and it does have some monetary value.
How to get started
The
first thing that you want to do is figure out which venue or method will work
the best for you when you go online to sell. One company,
Diamondlighthouse.com, has a process that makes it simple to sell your diamond
jewelry. They act as your broker, creating an escrow-like situation for
you until your jewelry is sold. You then receive prompt payment.
When you are getting started with them, you merely take pictures and describe
your jewelry. They will then send you a pre-paid shipping package that you
can put your jewelry in before sending it off to them. Once they have
received it, a GIA certified Gemologist opens the package and provides a free
evaluation, all on video. They will then put the diamond from your jewelry up
for sale using their network and the only thing that you need to do is wait for
offers to come in. A lot of the details can be found at: https://www.diamondlighthouse.com/sell-my-diamond-ring.
Another option is to try and sell it directly.
When you do that, you may keep around 10 to 15 percent more of the sale, but
you also need to deal directly with the people that are purchasing your
jewelry. The key to successful direct sales online is to be as transparent
as possible. Show them exactly what they are getting by taking
high-resolution pictures. Explain all of the positives and any negatives
that might exist. One helpful tip that you can take from Diamondlighthouse.com
is to make a video of you wrapping the jewelry and mailing it to them so that
you can prove that you sent what you sent in case there are questions.
I wish its so easy to sell jewelry with sentimental value. So hard to give up stuff when you knew there is a story behind it. But this is good if you really need a fast money.
