Options and Opportunities to Resell Pre-Worn Jewelry
If the merchandise is to be sold, there are various ways to sell most pieces of jewelry and usually a market can be identified which is the best market for the re-sale of any single item. These include refining precious metals and salvaging the gemstones, selling to individuals via Internet sites, selling to jewelers, using regional/national auctions and or consigning the item for resale. We like to review all options so each customer can make an informed decision about how to proceed.
What Customers Are Saying
“We had Tom Tivol appraise our engagement ring, because we wanted an independent gemologist-appraiser to look at the diamond and documents and let us know if we had everything we needed. He detailed the quality of the diamonds, information that was never given us by the seller and which was not covered by the laboratory report on the center stone, and he then explained how the specific quality characteristics in the center diamond created its price. Finally he explained the purpose of our insurance appraisal which we never clearly understood. We could not have had a better experience. We recommend Tom to everyone who wants to understand gemstone and jewelry quality and how their selling price is calculated and how their value is determined for the insurance appraisal.” — Ilona and George
“I wanted to buy my wife a 20th anniversary sapphire and diamond ring. I went to store after store, but could not find anyone who had any in depth knowledge of blue sapphire, just lots of sapphires that eventually started to look the same. One of my co-workers told me to go see Tom Tivol, because of his reputation of having detailed knowledge of colored gemstones and his ability to teach customers how to choose the correct stone. I met Tom by appointment at his office. He showed me multiple sapphires including those with various shades of blue, some more vivid than others, some with pure blue while others were darker navy blue and blackish blue. He explained how geographic origin can influence rarity and price. He explained how some sapphire color and clarity were altered by man after they were cut and finally he taught me how to determine cost, stone by stone. I purchased my sapphire from Tom, and then had him design and make the ring. I was 100% confident when I picked up my ring, and my wife was thrilled when I presented it on our anniversary. She asked me where I had gotten it, and I told her. She gave me the biggest smile, and at that moment, we both knew we had finally found a jeweler.” — Julia & Vlad
