Selling a ring to a jewelry store.
Consignment generally consists of a contract for the amount the jewelry will sell for and the percentage the store will keep.
Check reviews for diamond dealers if you re selling a diamond ring.
If the value is 1 000 for example a store will offer to buy the ring for approximately 500.

Consignment shops much like local jewelry stores consignment shops have their own overhead costs and therefore need to take a large percentage of the price you get for your ring often a minimum of 35.
My ring was appraised at 2400 00 by a jewelry store i am interested in selling it but want to get as much for it as possible can you give me some info.
While it is a financial loss to sell your ring for scrap gold at least you are able to recuperate some of the cost.
Another problem is if you are in need of quick cash consignment shops can take a long time to sell your item.
The dealer will take a 25 to 40 percent commission for selling your ring.
If you want to sell quickly and safely with little fuss over marketing target a jeweler diamond dealer or pawnbroker.
The primary advantage of selling to someone in the jewelry industry is time.
