Helping A Friend To Sell Old Jewelry

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

My friend asked me if I wanted to start selling old jewelry with him and I was confused. He explained that his grandfather owned a pawn shop and had boxes and boxes of old jewelry to sell. I guess that the price of gold is at an all time high currently and if we sell old jewelry to people to buy gold, diamonds and silver to just melt down and make new pieces then my friends grandfather might be able to recoup some of the money that he paid for them.

I have been out of work for about six months now, so the thought of doing something, anything is quite appealing. I know that I can sell old jewelry to people that are just going to scrap it, so there are no worries there. From what I understand, the people that are buying it, want the jewelry just as much as people want cash for it.

My friend told me that his grandfather is willing to pay us both ten percent of whatever we make, in addition to ten dollars and hour till we get all the old jewelry in the boxes sold and cleaned out of the storage room.

Selling Gold Jewelry At The Gold Buyers Show

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I saw that there was a big show at our local armory where there would be people coming to buy and sell gold jewelry. I understand that gold is at an all time high but I do not think that I have too many pieces that I want to part with, let alone just do it to make a few bucks. On the other hand, my sister is really down on her luck and heard of the whole sell gold jewelry show and wants me to go to it with her.

I decided to go with her and check out these gold buyers that are going to be there. I did bring along just two pieces of jewelry that I am not too fond of, just to get a price. One is a very big brooch that my grandmother gave me when I was very young. Women just do not wear brooches anymore, so there is no reason to hang on to it. My grandmother always said that jewelry was meant to be worn, not sit in a box. So, if these gold buyers can offer me a decent amount of money, then I may consider selling.

My sister brought about twenty pieces of gold jewelry and was offered a four figure amount of money from the gold buyers. I made two hundred dollars on my grandmother’s brooch and was happy with that.

Glow Bracelets and Glasses are Cool Party Favors

Monday, August 10th, 2009

While planning my daughter’s sixth birthday party, I came across a really cool idea for some unique party favors. I had decided to put those really cool glow bracelets and glow in the dark glasses for all of the kids to take home in their party favor bags. I figured that since the party would be getting over around seven or so, they could continue the fun at home after the party.

The day that the glow items arrived, I opened them to show my daughter how neat they were. She had to put on a glow bracelet and a pair of the glow in the dark glasses and then go in the bathroom and shut the door to have complete darkness. She thought that they were really cool.

As each parent arrived for the party, they told me that they had already heard of the cool glow things that the kids were getting. It seems that my daughter had told all of her friends at school, about them. The kids were not happy that they were supposed to wait for them, till after the party was over.

I ended up getting the party favor bags out about an hour into the party, so the kids could try out their glow bracelets and their cool glow in the dark glasses altogether in the dark bathroom. I even got a few really good pictures of them all crammed in the bathroom wearing their glow stuff.

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Have you been under the impression that jewels were made only for the purpose of beautifying and adorning yourself? You are wrong! They are of more value than that. Silver jewelry is a favorite with most of us though gold is considered much more valuable. It is beautiful when worn on your ears and around your neck and hands. But don’t you think it will be much more satisfying if you can wear it with a purpose? 

I’m not sure if you have heard of Spinner rings. But these are unusual silver rings that have two rings one over the other. One ring (mostly the outer) spins around the other (mostly the inner one). These are not just weird in the way they look but they have a special purpose. These rings are said to calm your nerves by the spinning motion of the ring. 

Now, when you wear such fine jewelry haven’t you felt that there are people around who are jealous and sometimes even felt that they are casting an evil eye on you? Well, you have a solution for this problem also in the form of jewels and that too jewels which have an apt name! These are called Evil Eye jewelry and are usually made of silver.

And for those of you who are crazy of intricately designed jewelry, you have what is called Celtic jewelry. These are designed with a maze of beautiful knots that symbolize the endless nature of our spirit. 

So, finally you must be convinced that jewels are more meaningful than you previously thought.
