This is not necessarily just an assessment of retail replacement value, but often more of a liquidation value. We can look at the piece to determine what competitive, secondary market buy amount you should ask for.”</p><p>According to Ashley, Davis Jewelers is typically most interested in purchasing the center stones from engagement rings that match the size, shape, and quality that they typically sell, as well as purchasing certain watch brands like Rolex. While the jewelers will conduct appraisals, they typically refer clients to other local jewelry stores to sell their pieces. To provide a selling option for clients, twice per year Davis Jewelers hosts an in-store event where a third party jeweler is on site to purchase pieces and offer clients payment on the spot. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p>As for costume jewelry, Judy Champion with 2023 offers customers the option to sell previously owned costume jewelry.</p><p>“I do not do written appraisals of costume jewelry, but I will speak to people about their items if they need information about age, value on the open market, and more,” Judy says. “An appointment is advisable for selling if there are a lot of items.
