Hello
Which gives you more pain - paying your taxes, visiting the dentist for a long overdue root canal treatment or selling fine jewelry? Yes, some things in life are painful whichever way you look at it. That said, if you are thinking of selling jewelry, there is a silver lining. This could be the best time to sell such items. For one thing, the price of precious metals and stones is at an all-time high. Besides, many pieces of fine jewelry are fetching a premium because of a number of qualities like fine craftsmanship, rarity and antiquity. So, here are some tips to help you sell your fine jewelry at a premium.

Before selling old pieces of jewelry, you need to have a fairly good idea of the value of your jewelry and your various options for liquidating these jewels. You don't really have to be a gemologist but doing some research can help you get a much higher price.

When buying old jewelry, you need to be aware of one inescapable fact: old jewelry generally gets lesser money than new. This is because most buyers prefer to buy new. So, it is only natural that pre-owned jewelry undergo some amount of depreciation. However, it is also true that certain pre-owned pieces become more valuable as time goes by. Therefore, a piece that has gone completely out of fashion may have little value other than the value of the metal and stones. On the other hand, certain styles are so rare that they may acquire the status of antique pieces. If your fine old jewelry gets the 'antique' tag, they can fetch you a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars more.

Thanks

Father's Day gift

Think about things your dad enjoys when you're shopping for a Father's Day gift. If he loves music, consider picking up a CD or a collection by his favorite artist. Is he into racing? He might like a model car to build, especially if you spend some time helping him put it together. A digital camera is also a great choice, and Dad will have fun taking tons of pictures of his children or grandchildren.
