Have you updated your appraisal
Have you updated your appraisal?
If you have a lot of gold jewelry that you may have bought when the price of gold was lower, this would be a good time to get your jewelry appraised. Lets say you bought your gold when the price per once was $600.00, today the price per once is $1,108.00 an once. That is a huge price jump, and many of us forget that about the gold jewelry that we have in our jewelry box. You should have all your jewelry appraised not just the gem stone jewelry. Lets say you appraised your gold at the old price, and that gold jewelery was stolen you would only get the old price, (the price that gold was at when your appraisal was written). In this area we have so many people who by high karat gold jewelery, and many do not even think about having their gold appraised, and added to their home owners insurance, do not make this mistake.

Ask if they are buying by gram or dwt..
Always make sure when you are calling, and asking different stores how much they are buying the gold for you ask if they take it by penny weight (dwt) or gram weight. It does make a difference make sure to do your calculations before you take it in.
An example is $13.00 per gram what we are taking 14kt for today would be about 20.00 by dwt. So if you are calling around for prices, and they tell you $17.00 ask if that is by gram or penny weight? if they say gram you have hit the jack pot, and go sell your 14kt to them, but if they say that is the price for penny weight, they are a little low. Different parts of the country are taking the gold at different prices. One woman who called from Florida said the most she could get for her 14kt gold was $8.00 a gram. We take our 10kt gold for that price, so it does make a difference what part of the country we are talking about. I only bring this up because someone called last week, and wanted to know how much we buy 14kt gold for I told them it was $13.00 a gram. He said no thank you I am already getting $16.00 I told them that is good, but are they buying by penny weight, or gram weight? They did not know, and said they would call back, as it turned out it was by penny weight, and they did their calculations,and found they would be getting more from us. Happy hunting, and good luck to all of you.

Jewelry Repairs…
Repairing your jewelry is not cheap that is for sure, sizing a ring can cost as much as $50.00 per size up or down. That is why it is always a good idea to shop around, the last thing that most of us need in these hard economic times is to worry about the cost of fixing your favorite chain, the average cost for a simply solider job on a 14kt yellow gold chain is around $25.00.
Here are a few things we can recommend you do:
1. Find a jewelry store that does in store repairs, this can help lower the price of the repair, no middle man if you will.
2. Remember that white gold cost more to repair than yellow gold.
3. Mall store’s will always charge more for a repairs.
4. Make sure you find out the turn around time on the repair before you leave it.
5. Never send your jewelry in the mail for repair.
6. Shop around for pricing, this is very helpful.
7. Try a store that is well established.
8. Stone replacement is another area that you should look around, if you are missing a small diamond on a piece of jewelry this could run from $30.00 and up depending on the size of the stone, clarity, and color. Make sure when you take your diamond jewelry back that the same color stone was used.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
