Opal Hand
where can i sell gems and stones?
i have small gems that i got from my grandma for my birthday years back and she said that they had some value, so im interested in checking it out, either online or around stl, missouri
some things in the set include...
**opal
**heart tangonite
**cabochon sapphire
**perodot
**matched sapphire
**yellow topeze
**heart garnet
**emeralds
**aqua marine
**green tourmaline
(sorry if spelling is off, ive never heard of most of these, so im guessing based on my grandmas hand writting)
and theres a lot more, that dont have handy labels on the back of the little containers
if you have any ideas, please post!
I think you've got a couple of options here. The first is eBay, obviously. The second is to contact a local jeweler. Even if you do decide to go the eBay route, it's probably not a bad idea to talk to a jeweler first, to get an idea of what to set your price minimums at so that you don't lose your shirt on eBay, so to speak.
I am an eBay seller and buyer, so if you would like any hints there, please feel free to email me. Add me to your contacts and go thru email that way if you'd care to. I can maybe help you get more money for your stones.
