It is possible to sell your gold jewellery if you do not use it or you are in a financial rut and looking for a way to bail yourself out. However, you cannot take this step head on without looking at some of the factors that may affect the amount you get from the sale. This is because the items you are trading in are precious and you do not want to lose them for a lesser value. The ultimate amount you get will depend on the process the items went through and the people involved in the sale. For instance, you have to check the number of middlemen between you (the seller) and the jeweler (buyer). If you have several intermediaries, the ultimate amount will be divided amongst all of them as commissions, meaning you will pocket an amount that is arguably less than what the sale produced. To avoid such predicaments, look for opportunities that require you to deal with the jeweler directly.

In addition, check the shipment process for you to sell gold jewellery. The courier service for shipping the valuables should be secure with no chances of losing the valuables before they reach the jeweler. Ask whether they insure the valuables during the shipment process and whether you can get the stones back if the price does not meet your expectations. In addition, they should indicate if there are optional ways of evaluating your jewellery, such as sending their experts to your residence instead of transporting the valuable items to them. This is important because of the security of the pieces you want to trade. The best way to do this is to visit the company’s offices before planning to send the valuables, so that you know the people you are dealing with and their location.

Thirdly, sell gold jewellery to a company that gives you the best rates. There is no need to settle for less because you have not done your homework to find a company that offers good money for your pendants, chains, nuggets, earrings or rings. Remember, the amount you get depends with their evaluation of what they want. If they do not find the quality they are looking for, they will quote the price of the existing quality and you have the right to accept or recall your pieces.  In addition, you can try several companies if you feel the deal is not good enough in relation to the market value of the items. Inquire about the shipment charges or other expenses that you may incur in the sale before you sign the deal. This may take up a substantial amount of the profit because you need secure shipment facilities and they do not come cheap. Avoid additional charges at all costs and in this way, you will end up having a large sum when the final sale goes through.
