Before buying any jewellery item the best thing to do is read carefully the item description and ask everything we want to know about it to the seller.
Jewels made of 18k gold are most value than other items made with 12k or 14k gold. The 18k gold mark means that there is more gold than 12k or 14k. It is an important tip to know if you are interested to re-sell the item that you have bought. I prefer to invest in 18k gold items. At this moment the gold price is rising and buying gold jewels is an excellent deal.
There are a sort of different styles in Antique jewelry, you will find in some titles Art Deco ring, Art Nouveau brooch, Vintage earrings and etcetera. Each adjective place the item in a particular period of time. Sometimes the item price go high or low depending on fashion tendency. In my own experience, Art Deco items are the most wanted for collectors and casual buyers.
The best deal you can do is to buy and sell the items that you have. Sometimes I miss some jewels which I have sold but I love when the buyers bid on them. I think in that moment they are appreciating the jewels like I do.
So, Ebayer I tell you to buy an antique jewel is to buy a piece of time, a piece of human history…
