Thinking of selling your jewelry but don’t want the hassle or risk of online listings and pawn shops? Selling locally can be a safer, faster, and more rewarding option—if you know where to start. Here’s how to maximize your return and peace of mind.
1. Choose a Trusted Local Buyer
Start by researching reputable buyers in your area. Look for:
- Strong online reviews
- Industry accreditations
- Years of local service
A business with a long-standing reputation is more likely to offer transparent pricing, expert staff, and a secure experience. Avoid pop-up gold buyers or temporary events that often lowball or pressure you into selling.
2. Bring in a Range of Items
Don’t limit yourself to just one type of jewelry. A qualified buyer will assess:
- Gold and silver pieces (even broken ones)
- Diamond and gemstone jewelry
- Designer or vintage pieces
- Estate and inherited collections
At PGS Gold & Coin, you can bring in all types of jewelry for a free evaluation. You’ll receive a breakdown of what your items are made of and what they’re worth on today’s market.
Note. For those needing formal documentation for insurance or legal purposes, professional written appraisals are available.
3. Skip the Middlemen
Many jewelry sellers lose value by working through brokers or consignment shops. To avoid delays and extra fees:
- Sell directly to a local buyer who appraises and purchases in-house
- Avoid pawn shops offering only a fraction of real market value
- Stay away from online listings that carry scams, low offers, or slow payments
Local direct buyers like PGS offer instant payment, clear explanations, and no hidden costs.
