Antique Jewelry Wholesale

By: John Saxon

Antique jewelry is generally quite valuable, and investing in such jewelry costs a fair bit of money. Then again, it is possible to buy antique jewelry at wholesale prices as well – if you know where to look.

Many people believe that online auctions, like eBay are the way to go. While this may be true on the odd occasion, you will more likely find that the seller knows the value of what they are selling, and the price is pretty high. There are alternative ways to find antique jewelry at wholesale prices – or below wholesale.

Keeping an eye on your local newspaper for advertised estate sales and garage sales. Typically, during these sales, the people holding the sale tend not to know the value of what they have. You can easilly pick up hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of antique jewelry for a few dollars on a typical Saturday morning.

It is important that you don't look too closely at the jewelry when you are looking at buying it. If the piece is
valuable, you don’t want the seller to know exactly how valuable it is! It's not your fault that they didn’t get it
appraised – as you will do that as soon as you leave! Keep a straight face, keep your happiness and joy to
yourself, and pay the fifty cents or few bucks that they want for the piece, get in your car and head to
your trusted jeweler for an appraisal!

It is entirely possible that the piece won't be worth much at all – but occasionally, you will stumble across some really great finds! Even if the piece isn’t worth anything, if you make jewelry, you may be able to disassemble it
for it's parts.

Finding antique jewelry wholesale is very exciting. In fact, spending those Saturday mornings at the yard sales and estate sales may even become addictive! Yard sales and estate sales – especially estate sales where grandchildren are not interested in their grandma’s old ugly jewelry are the best sources for antique jewelry at wholesale prices – or below wholesale prices.

This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some real finds on eBay as well, so don’t discount it. Just Keep an eye on the jewelry categories, as well as the antique or vintage categories. When you do find something you want to bid on, make sure that the seller has a good reputation. If the piece is very expensive, use the escrow service that is recommended by eBay. Also talk to the seller quite a bit to be sure that you understand exactly what is being advertised!
