Best place to sell jewellery?

3 replies

I have a diamond/ white gold wedding and engagement ring set that I no longer need Grin.

Where is the best place to sell?

I usually use Vinted but heard you can get scammed on high value items?

(The rings are very delicate so don't think selling the gold will be beneficial, think I need to sell them as rings).

Thanks in advance

Don't sell to a jeweller/pawn shop, you'll get peanuts. I only got offered £13 for a 9k white gold ring with a small diamond that was £100 retail in Argos a few years earlier.
Best would be Fb marketplace/vinted/ebay(ONLY cash on collection if you go ebay, but they will sting you with listing and selling fees still)
You'll get way more selling directly, and possibly by splitting them as individual sales rather than together, unless they are the kind that fit together as an obvious set that would look odd by themselves.

Hi

Thanks for your response. Good idea to sell separately, this would definitely work.

The wedding band is set with diamonds two thirds of the circumference so would make a good eternity ring.

I'll give Facebook marketplace and Vinted a try x

You could sell to somewhere as scrap gold and maybe ask a jeweller to remove the diamonds for you first. Weigh the gold on kitchen scales for a rough idea of what you would get back. Hatton garden metals is who I used before.

Either sell the diamonds or keep them and then in the future have them made into a price of jewellery that you like.
