SanDiegoJewelryBuyers.com has added a section to its website regarding consumers looking to sell their engagement or wedding rings.  Because it can be an emotional decision to part with bridal jewelry, the website wanted to give sellers some guidelines to follow to make the process as painless as possible. 

Alan Byler, spokesperson for San Diego Jewelry Buyers warns that “It is always a difficult and emotional situation when someone is thinking about selling an engagement ring or bridal jewelry, so we wanted to lay down some practical and personal things to think about”.  He recommends that women who are preparing to sell their rings should wait until the divorce papers are signed.  Some married couples, faced with the reality of selling their bridal jewelry, may realize too late that reconciliation is possible, or that they might want to hold on to the good memories of the marriage. 

If a customer needs cash right away, San Diego Jewelry Buyers recommend that they first try to sell less sentimental diamond jewelry, or to use it as collateral for a loan.  Consumers also need to be warned that the appraised value of the rings at the time they were bought is going to be much higher than the second-hand value.  A re-sell price estimate is very different than an initial appraisal. 

The website also covers guidelines on selling all kinds of jewelry including gold, watches, necklaces and so on.  It is meant to make consumers more aware of the risks and advantages of selling jewelry second-hand.
