Many women have an expansive jewellery collection. Earrings, bracelets, a necklace or even a brooch can help style any outfit, making one feel glamorous and complete. When not wearing jewellery, a woman can feel incomplete. So it is no surprise that many women have an expansive jewellery collection. When a collection becomes too big, something must be done so even more jewellery can be purchased! One option is to recycle your jewellery. There are several ways to do this from giving gifts to selling your more collectible pieces. Read on to see just what you can do with old jewellery pieces.

Selling your Most Valuable Pieces

When a piece of jewellery has become something that you are no longer wearing, you can consider selling the old piece. A real piece of jewellery, made of gold or silver, with gemstones can fetch quite a price, especially if the piece is an antique. Any pieces that you feel may have value or you are unsure as to how much value, have the item appraised. An expert jewellery appraiser will be able to determine the value of old coin jewellery or other pieces to help you get top dollar. Sell used jewellery at a premium so you can have extra cash for vacation, a rainy day or to buy new pieces.

Make sure you work with a qualified appraiser to ensure the value of your piece is authentic. An appraiser with a top rating in the jewellery industry as well as one with experience can be trusted to give you the best value for your items. During the appraisal process, the appraiser will need to evaluate your pieces. Each item will be reviewed for gemstone cut and clarity, metal type, condition, etc. Once this information is obtained, the appraiser will be able to give you a clear value to the piece. You can then choose to sell your jewellery pieces or hold on to them a little longer.

Trade with Friends

Another option for recycling your old jewellery is to trade with friends. Set a date and invite friends over to have a jewellery trading party. Everyone can bring a certain amount of jewellery to the party and games can be played to see who ends up with what piece. This can be a fun night with friends as well as give you the opportunity to get rid of old items while gaining something new.

Give as Gifts

Whether you have expensive pieces of jewellery you are no longer using or costume jewellery, you may have family or friends you wish to give the pieces to as gifts. Graduation, birthdays or just because, you can give you coveted pieces to the ones you love. Loved ones will cherish the piece as it has sentimental value as well as possible currency value depending on the metal and gemstone of the piece.
