Jewelry often carries both emotional and financial value. But over time, styles change, pieces go unworn, and circumstances shift. Whether you’ve inherited items, gone through life changes, or simply have jewelry collecting dust, you may be wondering:
Is now the right time to sell?

The answer depends on a few personal and market-driven factors. At PGS Gold & Coin, Chicago’s trusted jewelry and precious metals buyer, we help people just like you determine the best time—and the best way—to sell with confidence and peace of mind.

You Haven’t Worn It in Years

If a piece of jewelry has sat in a box, unworn for years, ask yourself:

Will I ever wear this again?
If the answer is “probably not,” it might be time to let go. Unused jewelry doesn’t need to stay hidden when it could be turned into something valuable—like cash, a trip, or an upgrade.

It’s Attached to a Past Chapter

Divorce, loss, or life transitions can leave you with jewelry that no longer feels right to keep. Selling it can be a powerful way to move forward, emotionally and financially.

Gold and Precious Metal Prices Are Strong

Market prices for gold, silver, and platinum fluctuate. Right now, gold prices remain historically high, meaning your jewelry could be worth significantly more than you paid for it—or even more than it was valued at just a few years ago.

You Could Use the Extra Cash

Whether you’re saving for something big, paying down debt, or just want more financial breathing room, unused jewelry can be a surprisingly quick source of cash. Many clients are shocked at what their old pieces are worth.

You Want a No-Pressure Professional Opinion

Still unsure? That’s totally fine. Bring your items into PGS Gold & Coin for a free, no-obligation evaluation. We’ll help you understand:

  • What the jewelry is made of
