Jewelry appraisals consider several factors before assigning a value to a specific piece from your collection. The type of metal, gemstones, and even the condition and age of the jewelry play into how much it’s worth on the open market. Whether you’ve inherited a family heirloom or carefully chosen a piece to mark a special occasion, understanding the influences that affect its value is important for many reasons.

"Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." - Rachel Zoe My mother always looked put together. Back in the day, women put a lot of effort into looking well coordinated by matching their handbags and shoes. She taught me to do this, and I still coordinate my outfits to this day. While I don't always coordinate with exact colors, I like to match the tone of different pieces, especially when it comes to jewelry.

If you have some pieces of jewelry gathering dust in your jewelry box or a piece that reminds you of a horrific past, it may be a wise idea to sell your jewelry. Besides, you can convert your unwanted jewelry into cash by selling it. Selling your jewelry can be a rewarding experience, regardless of why you sell it. Going through the selling process carefully and knowing what to expect is critical to ensuring you get the best offer for your items.

Jewelry stores are one of the first places to look when buying an engagement ring. The jeweler will ask some questions as he or she helps you narrow down your choices. Knowing what these questions are can help you go in prepared. What questions will a jeweler ask? 1. How long have you been shopping for an engagement ring? 2. When do you plan to propose?

As any retailer will tell you, presentation is everything. Painters, as retailers hoping to sell objects they make, have to consider how those objects are best presented. If a painting is to be framed, what kind of frame will present it to best advantage? Not framing a painting is also an aesthetic choice. I’ve written before about the role frames play in our perception of a painting ( see previous blog here ).
