The Jewelry Judge is the home of the Nations Professional Jewelry Appraisers and Gemologists. Unlike your local Jewelers, here at the Jewelry Judge, we don't buy or sell jewelry. Our only job is to appraise your jewelry in front of you, "while you watch". We are not jewelry buyers so we remain completely impartial. Established in 1989, we still don't buy or sell jewelry.

As Certified Professional Appraisers, all appraisals are as complete as they can possibly be, including a photo of your item on each of the individually itemized computer generated documents.

Since its inception in 1989, The Jewelry Judge has grown to be the leading network of elite jewelry appraisal professionals throughout the United States and Canada.

Question: I have found a way to purchase quality jewelry at a wholesale price. It comes with an appraisal, and is certified. For example, my first purchase was a genuine sapphire and diamond necklace and earrings set appraised with a retail value of $3,150. I purchased the set for $219.80. I am interested in selling the set for profit.

Buying Jewelry

Report

If you're planning on purchasing a diamond, you should spend some time learning about the "Four C's" - the value factors of a diamond." Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat Weight. Most know little about these quality pointes. If someone were buying a new car, they'd know what kind of engine they'd want, whether or not leather upholstery was in the cards or a costly CD/GPS system or fancy wheels fit their budget.

Selling Jewelry

Report

First, you should have a jewelry appraisal to find out what their current replacement/retail value is. That way you'll know what you have and what to expect. The jewelry industry is a "credit" business. Jewelers buy their inventory on credit. They may buy $10,000 worth of jewelry and issue promissory notes, paying the manufacturer $1,000 a month over a 10 month period.
