I have a plan for some of it, like the few Tiffany pieces will go on eBay, broken/uninteresting/stone-less gold pieces scrapped, decent costume, and sterling pieces I will likely sell on the street in my neighborhood (yes I do this, as where I&#039;ve been living several years has become much more affluent than I can ever imagine being).</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am unsure of what to do with is a mix of gold pieces like in the photos below (most is 14k), some of it antique, as I really don&#039;t want to sell this sort of thing online as a non-jewelry expert, and plan to shop some of it around to stores in Manhattan (not in the Diamond district) which deal with &quot;estate jewelry&quot; for cash <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ideally. I plan to weigh each piece before going anywhere, so I have at least a somewhat rough idea of the weight in gold... anyways, my question feels a bit vague- but I suppose I am seeking advice on the best way to ensure I don&#039;t get ripped off, while understanding that the shop owners need to make a decent profit. I have mainly dealt in antique/&quot;true vintage&quot; clothes since around 1999 so I am familiar in that regard to selling to other dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated, or if someone happens to know of a jewelry store in NJ or NYC that they trust and respect that buys such jewelry, that would be great as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the 18k serpent ring which I will hang onto. Am I correct in assuming that is a chunk of coral?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
