The brand is a crucial factor to consider when valuing the ring. There is a good chance that a new buyer can be located right away if the brand is well-known. At this point, the assessment’s primary focus is on how well-liked each item is.The following are the popular brands:
• Cartier

However, the ring may also reduce the estimated value due to big engraving or unable to appraise.
Why do you always feel that the re-sell price is “too low!”?
When assessing the price of pre-used wedding rings and engagement rings, many people feel disappointed that “so cheap…”.
• Unable to evaluate properly
• Deduct the cost “eliminate engraving” from the purchase amount
• Big gap between the first buying price
It is important to choose a store that can correctly evaluate the value of the item. Among the jewellery stores, some companies “only evaluate the material” or “might estimate lower price to avoid risk”.
Additionally, the price at which wedding rings and engagement rings are purchased is one of their distinguishing features. This is so that other costs, like design fees, are included in addition to the value of the ring metal or gemstones. But only the material’s value is typically assessed at the time of assessment. Many people may believe that the quoted price is low because of this gap.
Where can I sell it?
Pawn shop (mortgage type)
The pawn shop’s business model is to keep valuable items and lend the equivalent amount. The item will be sold if the loan is not repaid. If provided by specialty stores, buying from them is of a different type and can cost more money.
Recycle store, K gold specialty store (Sell type)
Although the second-hand shop offers ring purchases as well, it deals with a wide range of goods, from groceries to daily necessities. Due to this feature, it is likely that the service staff will lack the necessary knowledge and that the product’s value will be calculated incorrectly. The assessment of specialty stores finds no such risk.
