Q

How can you appraise your own jewelry?

Category: Antiques

A

Appraising your own jewelry requires knowledge of certain key factors:

  1. Examine the materials: Identify the type of metal and gemstones. Look for markings, such as karat stamps or hallmarks.
  2. Check the condition: scratches, missing stones, or damage reduce value.
  3. Research comparable pieces: Look for similar items online to gauge market value.
  4. Consider the craftsmanship and era: vintage or antique jewelry often has higher value.
However, for an accurate valuation, it’s best to consult a professional appraiser.
