I have some jewlery that I am thinking about selling/pawning. Most of it I either do not, nor will ever wear or they are mismatched pieces (one earring with the other missing, etc) or they are loose stones.
The jewelry includes
1 24kt gold 1/4ct diamond stud
1 14kt gold 1/5ct diamond stud
1 loose 1/4 ct flawless citrine
1 14kt gold white opal earring
1 14kt gold pendant with 1/5 ct aquamarine
If I sell them I would put the money in savings or use it to help finish paying off my credit card.
Could anyone tell me what a good total for these items would be worth? Should I even sell them or save them? Is their value worth more as jewelry or monetarily?
You probably won’t get enough to make it worth your effort. 14 kt gold is barely over 50% gold and the pieces you list are very small. You also need to make sure they’re solid 14 kt gold rather than just plated or filled. With the exception of the one 24 kt stud what you have is considered costume jewelry. A mismatched piece isn’t worth anything to another person so you’d basically be selling it for scrap. I’d be very surprised if you got $20 for everything. But you can check with a gold buyer or pawn shop easy enough.
