Things You'll Need

• Old jewelry

1. Try selling costume jewelry and non-precious metals on eBay. This type of jewelry is often bought for daily wear and it not worth much. A jeweler might not want to purchase costume jewelry, but an eBay purchaser might think your quirky Santa pin is darling.

2. Call local jewelry stores and jewelers and ask if they buy jewelry. Many will purchase quality used jewelry and watches made of precious metals and valuable stones.

3. Take your high-quality jewelry to a local pawn shop and ask for an offer. Pawn shops usually do not offer top dollar, but it could be a good option if you cannot find other buyers.

4. Consider a reputable mail-in jewelry purchasing company, such as Red Swan (www.redswan.com). You can request a free packet on their website and mail your jewelry postage-paid. The company will send you an offer in the form of a check. You can cash the check to accept the offer, or request your jewelry back if you do not like the offer.
