When I started looking for
selling gold jewelry tips for some extra cash, I knew that I had to be sure that I was making the right decision. The difficult economy had my budget stretched thin and I was having a difficult time making ends meet. Just like you, I was feeling this economic downturn in my back pocket. But I found out that I literally had a gold mine sitting in a jewelry box on my dresser that my wife gave me for Christmas years ago.
I took the time and started to go through my unwanted jewelry and I found a few gold earrings and a couple of gold necklaces that I haven't worn in quite some time. I also ran across my old gold watch that I haven't worn in years. I couldn't believe that I had forgotten my old watch. I guess because it just didn't work any more. I have been forgetting a lot of things lately because work has been so tough.
I then knew that I needed to check to see if my jewelry was real or if it was fake. Some of the items looked like they might be gold. Some of them looked like silver or maybe platinum. A few pieces even had what looked like a diamond or two. I also found a 18K stamp on one piece.
And guess what, the ones with the stamp meant that they were real gold. Even my watch was genuine because it had a hallmark stamp on it.
Now here is where I really struck it rich. My wife also has a jewelry box literally filled with jewelry that she never wears anymore. But I really had to dig through it to find some genuine gold pieces. I know what you are thinking.
I didn't go through her things without talking to her about it first. We both agreed that selling our gold jewelry that we never wore anymore was the right decision for us.
My wife is in her thirties and I am in my forties so over the years we both had collected a lot of jewelry. Making the decision to sell your gold jewelry is a tough one. Some of her jewelry had a lot of sentimental value and she just couldn't part with a few pieces. But we knew that we had to make sure that we got the most money for our gold jewelry.
