How do you know if jewelry is worth anything?
There are a few ways to know if jewelry is worth anything. Jewelry can be valuable either because of its materials or because people are eager to buy pieces like it due to its brand, style, age or other factors. By researching your piece using trusted online resources, you can determine if your jewelry falls into these categories. Because it can be difficult to determine what jewelry is made of with the naked eye alone, you may want to have a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler inspect your piece, identify its materials and give you an estimate of its value. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of jewelry.
