The Best Place to Sell Jewelry in Chicago
Local Jewelers and Diamond Buyers
The most well-known place to buy and sell jewelry in Chicago is Jewelers Row, located on Wabash between Monroe and Washington. This areas has historically been the diamond center for Chicago. Today, you can find jewelers, diamond dealers, gold buyers, gemologists, and more. If you have the time and patience to take a trip to Jewelers Row, you may find the type of deal you are looking for. The downside is there is a lot of legwork involved in selling this way and you aren’t guaranteed a good deal at the end of all your labor.
Another local option is your local jeweler. If you are from Chicago or have lived there for a long time, you may have a trusted and reliable jeweler you’ve worked with in the past to turn to when it’s time to sell. This is certainly a trusted option and may be less labor-intensive than visiting Jewelers Row, however jewelers are not in the business of buying or buying back jewelry. This means they are unlikely to make a high offer for your jewelry. This is no knock against local jewelers – it’s simply a fact: it is not lucrative for jewelers to buy back jewelry and there is little motivation to pay a competitive price for it.
There are also high-end consignment options, such as The RealReal, which has a brick and mortar store in Chicago.The issue with The RealReal, whether you sell in person or through their online service, is that they are still a consignment business, meaning that they will take consignment fees off your final sale amount and you will need to wait for the right buyer to come along.
Online Selling Options
There are plenty of online selling options available as well, such as eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or online diamond buyers. eBay and Facebook Marketplace are places to stay away from – jewelry sellers are too exposed to scams and the markets are full of jewelry that remains for sale for months, even years.
Another option is online diamond buyers, such as Worthy. With Worthy, there is zero legwork to find the right buyer – we find them for you! And the entire process can be handled from the comfort of your home while remaining completely in control.
