Everyone has pieces of valuable jewelry they no longer wear due to changes in fashion or personal taste. While those items have languished in the out-of-favor drawer, they have not been idle. Values of gold, silver, platinum and gemstones have increased, with precious metals value soaring through the roof. Simple gold bullion has increased in the past three decades from three hundred dollars per ounce to over twelve hundred dollars per ounce. AZ jewelry buyers can assist in turning your unworn items, vintage jewelry or inherited pieces into cash for reinvesting.

The most egregious waste in valuable jewelry exists in the jewelry drawer with old rings, bracelets, necklaces, lockets and brooches. They may date back to your grandparents' fashion, and while their design and weight may not reflect the styles of today or your personal taste, their intrinsic and concrete values promise you a good return if you let someone else purchase them, thereby affording you the funds to reinvest in items of your own taste and style.

Today's economy sometimes dictates that jewelry, which is neither old nor out of fashion, also becomes a disposable asset when you need extra funds.
