Tips To Buy And Sell Unique High End Jewelry

By Helga Stokes


If you are a connoisseur when it comes to jewels, you would certainly be interested in purchasing and valuing unique high end jewelry. However, the question that arises is how you can identify the authenticity of the gems. With so many fake sellers and dealers in the market nowadays, it is important to evaluate the correct worth of a jewel before buying it.

In order to do a correct evaluation, you could learn a few tricks and either consult an expert, or even become one in no time. Such measures are essential since high end products come with a heavy price tag too.

One of the first things you must do is check the authenticity of the jeweller himself. The person or shop selling you the jewelry must be certified and authentic. Without certification, the trustworthiness of the shop, seller or products themselves is highly dubious.

The next step would be to check the value of the jewel itself. If you are in the nascent stages of expertise, consult someone who is more of a veteran. It is important to pay the correct price for the piece you wish to buy, and more so because high quality gems are always precious and expensive.

If you have recently developed interest in gems, some quick training may be necessary. You could start with some research and investigation using the Internet. Get your basics right by identifying the various kinds and qualities of jewels. It is also important to understand the basic terminology, so that you are conversant with an expert when you meet one.

Courses for a short period of time can also be considered for those truly eager to start with the business as soon as possible. These courses and classes would help you get familiar with the stones and learn about the latest trends and methods. However, if you are unable to attend physical classes, online ones can be searched too.

Reading about high end gems and stones, their history, manufacturers across the world, as well as the forms available will help you build your knowledge. You should also attend workshops, seminars, shows and exhibitions to further enhance your knowledge.

Upon getting up to speed with the basics, it is time to get hands on. Analyze and study gems in as much detail as possible. Train yourself to distinguish between fake and real, and low and high quality.

If you are starting your own practice of chic and exclusive gemstones, it may also be a good idea to do a survey of what sort of competition you have in the market. You should not enter a market already monopolized by a leading player. Conversely, presenting something no other jeweller has offered so far would mark your differentiation instantly.

Becoming an expert in unique high end jewelry is important for both buyers and dealers of the products. While for the former it is important to know the true worth, for the latter it is industry knowledge and trends that must be followed religiously.
