The next step to becoming an estate jewelry seller is to research what items you potentially have and their estimated worth. The best way to do this is to consult professionals within the art, jewelry, or furniture fields. Another option is to look into potentially hiring a professional estate sale company that specializes in appraising items and setting up the sale or auction.

At many estate sales you can find many types of jewelry ranging from engagement rings, wedding bands, cocktail rings, fine watches, bracelets, chains, pendants, chokers, statement necklaces, hatpins, brooches, and earrings. Estate jewelry sales can often turn up valuable costume jewelry as well. If you are interested in becoming an estate jewelry seller on your own, make sure to have all items appraised.
