Selling Amethysts
Sometimes the occasion arises where one has to sell an amethyst. This might be an amethyst ring or pendant or some jewelery or perhaps even just the stones themselves.
Firstly it is important to note that you will not get anywhere near what you paid for the stone unless it is an antique perhaps.
Amethysts are not that expensive unless you have a really big gem so you are not going to get a lot for it.
If the stone is set on gold or platinum that will help to boost the price, especially if the gold is 18 karat or more and platinum is amost twice the price of gold these days.
Where to sell. The least you will get will be from a jeweller who will want to onsell the piece. You will likely get around 20 percent of the value from a jeweller. A pawn broker may give you a little more but your best bet is really to sell privately or through an auction.
eBay and Bidz.com come to mind as the most well known of course. It is a good idea to browse the auctions first and what what is currently selling and how much amethysts are going for. This will give you an idea of the sort of price you can expect for your piece.
Before you sell be sure to know the value of your stone or amethyst jewelery and what sort of price you can expect to get. Studying up on amethysts to know the value of the various types is important.
There is no substitute for doing due diligence when it comes to selling, or buying for that matter, amethysts.
