Looking to sell jewelry? If you’ve got a local jeweler you trust, that’s the best place to start. However, these two online platforms buy jewelry and gems and are worth checking out when you want to sell jewelry.
Worthy
Worthy markets itself is a great place for the divorced and jilted to sell expensive diamond jewelry, including engagement and wedding rings via auction. The site has honed its process to make it highly user-friendly and transparent.
The site’s buyers are primarily professionals — jewelers and gem dealers — so they won’t pay retail for your rings. But, reviewers say they get fair prices and are told what to expect every step of the way.
If you don’t like their offer, they’ll return your jewelry in a full-insured package. Read our full review of Worthy here.
Circa Jewels
Circa Jewels offers to buy luxury watches, diamond rings, bracelets, brooches, etc. The company buys these items for resale, so they don’t take a fee or commission. But are going to offer you considerably less than they expect to receive. And they’re not interested in anything that’s low-priced, so don’t bother trying to sell a simple gold chain or inexpensive piece here.
It’s worth mentioning that buying used jewelry is dicey for anyone because retail prices are often double wholesale prices. And, if you’re the middle-man, you’re going offer even less than half that so that you can re-sell that piece at a profit. Learn more about Circa Jewels here.
Etsy
If you made the jewelry you want to sell, Etsy is your go-to site. This marketplace for arts and crafts couldn’t care less whether your jewelry incorporates gemstones, or if it’s made of cheap beads. If it’s unique, you can sell it here for a reasonable cost. You can read our Etsy review here.
