How and Where to Buy and Sell Jewelry, Watches and Diamonds

Raymond Lee Jewelers Showroom

How and where to sell jewelry, watches and diamonds is a topic of discussion at some point in every ones lives. There are so many outlets to sell jewelry in Boca Raton and other areas all over the world. Before making any rash decisions consider your options. The best possible option is to sell the item privately, to someone you know. That way you can get very fair market value for your jewelry. If this does not seem like a good option for you, you can always consider posting to the internet on multiple platforms. The best being Ebay. If you decide to try to sell your jewelry, watches or diamonds on Ebay make sure you have paperwork to go with it such as an appraisal. This will give credibility to the piece of jewelry you are trying to sell. Bare in mind that on Ebay there are many scams and items need to be refundable, so do your homework before listing an item on Ebay for sale. We do not recommend listing to Craigslist. The reason we do not recommend Craigslist is because it lets potential buyers know you have something valuable to sell and deals have to be done in person. This leaves you open to a potential robbery. The third and probably best choice is to visit your local jeweler. Get a few opinions and depending on the type of item you have for sale you can gauge its value by how much they are selling for online. Make sure you are paid on the spot and verify the funds are available in the jewelers account.

Tips for Selling Watches

Sell Watches Boca Raton

Like our other articles we have recently published, this one touches on how to sell watches in Boca Raton and other metropolitan areas. These days with the Internet it’s super easy to find what your luxury timepiece is selling for. However, what people are asking isn’t necessarily what they are getting. Plenty of watches are being listed online for 20k and selling for 15k which is a big difference. Rolex watches are the easiest to price and good dealers generally work on short margins in regards to Rolex. Why? Because they are super easy to sell. Off brand watches like some IWC watches, Ulysee Nardin Watches and many others can be more difficult to sell. Easiest to see include Patek Philippe, Rolex and Cartier. If your not in a situation where you need money going into a second hand shop and trading would be your best bet. If you need the money find a shop that specializes in second hand watches and pays on the spot.

Where To Sell Jewelry, Watches and Diamonds Series

Where To Sell Jewelry

As we have said in earlier articles there are millions of places that advertise to buy your jewelry. If thinking to sell your precious valuables where should you go? Everyone that offers advise on the topic always says get at least three opinions… This is a given but what if you are selling diamonds? Is getting three opinions enough?

selling diamonds to the right buyer

Most will not give you this information. Some may tell you that if your diamond is a nice quality you should send it to G.I.A. for a certificate. However, most buyers would prefer to buy your diamond without the G.I.A. if they are slick because it may come out a better quality after they send it to G.I.A. then expected therefore worth more money. So, you may want to consider sending your diamond to G.I.A. You can do this yourself or bring it to your local jeweler and they can do it for you. Bare in mind a certificate costs hundreds of dollars, the bigger the stone the more it will cost. Another tip, if your diamond is old, you may want to look into having recut and then certified because as a modern cut diamond it could be worth 2 or 3 times more money. This is only on a rare occasion though. More tips and tricks to come on how to sell your diamond, jewelry and watches in future articles.

Spoltlight On: Igor Polotsky, Raymond Lee Jeweler’s Master Watchmaker

This month’s Boca Magazine features Raymond lee Jewelers; own master watchmaker Igor Polotsky in its Slice of Life segment.

Igor, who is certified by the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute as a 21^st century master of his craft, has been a part of the Raymond Lee Jewelers family for the past 2 years of his three decade career.

Igor is an indispensable asset to Raymond Lee Jewelers, as he is one of the 9 U.S. watchmakers authorized by Cartier to repair its watches; he also is adept at servicing the other luxury watch brands of Raymond Lee Jewelers, like Rolex, Patek Phillipe, and Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Boca Magazine gets the inside scoop from the master himself on what inspired his career path (it has to do with some surprisingly heavy salt), why he left his life in native Russia behind, and the laugh-out-loud reason that Igor’s talents proved too much to handle for his employer at Tiffany & Co.’s 5^th avenue showroom.

Jewelry Appraisal- Appraise! Appraise, and Re-Appraise!

Jewelry Appraisal – Appraise! Appraise! and Re-Appraise!

Have your jewelry appraised! Theft is on the rise and if your jewelry hasn’t been recently appraised, it needs to be! Diamonds, gold and platinum have made huge gains over the last couple of years and if you haven’t had your jewelry updated with your insurance, you could be potentially loosing more than your jewelry if stolen!

Have You Appraised Your Jewelry Lately?

Diamonds have increased in value almost 50% while platinum and silver have seen historical jumps in value as well. Once you have had your appraisal, you need to call your insurance agent right way to update and validate the new value of your precious jewelry. For example, if you paid $5,000 for a diamond necklace more than 5 years ago, it could cost you $10-$15,000 today if you had to replace it! Of course non of us want to think about our homes being broken into, but it is a common occurrence and we can never be too careful.

Where can you find a reputable appraiser that you can trust? One suggestion is to go through either THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF JEWELRY APPRAISERS or THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS. These professionals are considered ethical and are required to be continuously educated. Or you can go to your Boca Raton, FL own Raymond Lee Jewelers to meet with their own in-house expert and can help guide you to ensure protection and appraisal accuracy.

Also, please remember to contact your insurance agent to be aware of your insurance policies and making updates to policy to be ensure you are most protected.

Jewelry Education: HOW TO SELL OR BUY JEWELRY

“WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT JEWELRY

when I go to sell or buy it?”

Good question!

POINTERS TO HELP YOU SELL OR BUY JEWELRY

Here’s a quick checklist of knowledge you should have before you go shopping for expensive jewelry.

What is a Karat? It’s a good idea to know that gold karat number varies with weight, design, finishing and country of origin. Finishing can be done by hand or by machine, and this makes a difference. 24 karat gold, or pure gold, is too soft for molding into wearable jewelry, thus it needs to be mixed with other metals to strengthen it. The metal used to mix into the gold can change its color. WHAT TO KNOW – if it’s less than 10kt (roughly 42% gold), than it can’t be sold as gold legally. You’ll hear these terms: “fill”, “electroplated” or “overlay” and that means it just has a thin gold coat on the piece of jewelry.
What are the four C’s? Don’t expect to read this and have a working knowledge of the four C’s, but I can at least acquaint you with the language. WHAT TO KNOW – the four C’s are Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. If a jeweler can’t discuss these in great detail, they don’t know enough to be selling you jewelry, keep shopping.
Be aware of chain stores who employ retail sales clerks AND have no actual jewelers on staff. WHAT TO KNOW – Local jewelers will almost always have a more educated and knowledgeable staff.
If you are going to purchase a really expensive piece of jewelry, USE A MAJOR CREDIT CARD AND HAVE IT APPRAISED immediately.

Now, you officially know more than most people about jewelry shopping! Enjoy ~

Nothing says style like, Cartier

As seen here, Camilla Belle is shopping in Beverly Hills at her favorite shop, Cartier of course and with her timeless beauty next to the sign makes her all the more beautiful and classy! Since she comes with a background of fashion, it makes sense! And it is because of mom’s Latin fashion expertise, I can’t wait to see her next move, “Prada to Nada”.

Too bad she wasn’t in Boca Raton, FL shopping for a Cartier! Raymond Lee Jewelers would know exactly which watch would add to her classy and sophisticated style! I would pick this elegant Cartier Panther Vendome TT watch for her! Yes, Raymond Lee Jewelers has this available to sell right now!
My personal favorite, is this amazing Cartier Ballon Blue with white gold, diamonds and the very stylish pink band! (see below) Oh, a girl can dream, right?!!

The Watches of “Two And A Half Men”

Can Two and Half Men go on without Charlie Sheen?

Is Ashton Kutcher dynamic and crazy enough to replace Charlie Sheen? Does he just have too much style?

How are the writers of Two and Half Men kill off Sheen? Will the show still be entertaining?

Image via Wikipedia, Gorgeous Watches

I’ve been following Ashton’s passion for fine time pieces and now, if he hits my favorite show, he’ll have my whole heart! I think many of us felt like we were watching the real Sheen, and felt more like his reality show vs a “character” he was “acting” to be! It will be interesting to see what Ashton does for the show.

The Two Men producers have refused to comment on the many rumors, but seems Ashton will have a permanent spot in the new era. After eight years, could a major change be a breath of fresh air, or the kiss of death?

Guess we will all find out on September 19th on CB S.

What would be the perfect revenge for Lorre? Being to actually daydream of the funniest, most “Un-Charlie Sheen” way to die? Getting sober? Haha, being killed by healthy living! Or maybe because he jumped a cliff chasing after his beloved watch? You know, the one he destroyed a hotel room in NY? In his defense, the Patek Philippe is worth $165K! Don’t think the Swiss family wants their watch to be known for the owner strangling an “escort” and accusing her of stealing it! Oh well, the price of fame and exclusivity.
