Selling a piece of fine jewelry. I don't know how to do it. [View all]

[Bertha Venation]

I'm selling it because I need the cash, which absolutely sucks.

I have no idea what to list it for. I'd ask jewelers, but wouldn't they charge me an appraisal fee? What if I told them, "I just need an approximate idea of a fair price to ask." Would a jeweler buy it?

I could sell it for the gold, but I'm pretty sure the piece is worth a lot more.

This is a pair of what would become my favorite earrings, although I'd wear them rarely. The earrings are 14k gold, with four small sapphires arranged in a vertical row in each one. I know they'd be more valuable with better (for lack of a better word) gold. I'd post a picture but my phone is dead and the cloud hates me.

Any ideas? Any questions?

Thanks.
