Natface   10 #1 Posted November 21, 2011 Does anyone know of a jewellers in Sheffield that is buying pieces of jewellery for their core value rather than just their scrap gold value?  I have an old ruby and diamond gold ring that I would not like to sell but unfortunately times are hard, an therefore as it is a special family piece I want to get the actual value for it.

Nagel   10 #10 Posted November 22, 2011 What percentage of the gold price do these people pay? You would expect 5% under to be about the best deal you could find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Plain Talker   11 #11 Posted November 22, 2011 HL Brown have a small number of quality second hand pieces for sale - no idea what they pay, as obviously they need a tidy mark up to make it worth their while...  Most jewellers only pay the scrap value of the gold, and nothing for the value of the stones, whether they melt the gold down, or as you often see, the rings being placed on sale at crazy mark-ups. I know that a couple of weeks ago, herbert brown, near the moor, only wanted to pay a friend the £89 scrap gold price for an 18Kt gold ring, quality, well-set, worth nearly £1,000, with three lovely stones; 3 decent diamonds and a sapphire.

When a jeweller has rings etc for sale which are of interest and quite old the buyer is charged for the lot, so the stones (assuming they're good) are sold on with the piece...
