Diamond Buyer Kennesaw – Don’t Get Scammed When Selling Diamonds!

by admin on April 23, 2012

Selling your unwanted, or no longer used, gold and diamonds can be a quick way to bank some extra cash – but beware, you could get far less for your jewelry than it’s worth! Sure, any company that buys gold, diamonds, silver and other gemstones wants to make a profit, that’s just good business sense. As a trusted diamond buyer in Kennesaw, Gold Buyers Georgia, a subsidiary of TopStyle Diamonds, wants you to know how to get top dollar for your unwanted jewelry – and how to avoid potential scams.

Do some investigating to determine the value of your gold or diamonds

How can you learn what your jewelry is really worth in today’s market? There are online sites that provide this information, or you can have your diamonds or gold appraised by a professional. One trusted website that updates the value of precious metals frequently is Goldprice.org.

To save yourself time and money, the easiest way to find out how much your jewelry is worth is to consult with a reputable diamond buyer. Be sure that you visit a jewelry store with knowledgeable professionals on staff who know the current value of diamonds, gold and other metals and gemstones.

Why selling your gold and diamonds to a trusted jeweler is the best idea

In recent years, largely due to a faltering economy, advertisements for selling gold and diamonds have bombarded television, radio, magazines, newspapers, even billboards. Companies know that people often sell their diamonds and gold when financial struggles make it tough to pay the bills. Therefore, it’s easy to get taken advantage of, as some of these companies know you’re desperate for money.

Sending your jewelry through the mail to a company you’ve found online or heard about on television may not be such a good idea. While some companies are certainly legitimate, how do you know that you will receive a check in the mail? Gold parties are scams as well. Think about it for a minute. The company representative makes money, the host makes money, and you’re left with only “pocket change,” so to speak. Not a good idea.

Our reputation and customer satisfaction level are what have made us the preferred jeweler we are today for those looking to sell diamonds and gold they no longer want.

What’s the Difference Between 10K, 14K, 18K and 24K Gold?

by admin on May 3, 2011

Let’s cut to the chase. The reason you probably landed on this page is because you want to know what the best type of gold is to purchase as far as jewelry goes. Could you be genuinely curious as to what the difference is? Sure! Just in case, though, we’re going to hit with you with the good information first. It is generally accepted that 14K gold is the optimal type of gold jewelry to purchase. This is because it is very durable, but doesn’t tarnish too easily.

To understand fully the reasoning behind this, you’ll need to know some basic facts about gold. Everyone knows that gold has long been a highly sought after commodity by people. Oftentimes your wealth and power was measured by the amount of gold you had, and gold was used in very important ceremonies like weddings and religious events, but what exactly is gold?

Gold is a precious metal that, in its purest form, is metallic yellow. It is often mixed with other types of metal, also known as “alloys”, to make gold more durable and/or render the gold a different color. Gold does not change color, rust, fade, or corrode, and is extremely malleable. It is this flexibility of gold that can be its downfall. Since it is so soft in its natural state, it is not very durable. By combining gold with other alloys, one can make the gold stronger and more durable, however, you’ll be using less gold when making these compounds. This makes your compound less valuable. It is a veritable catch-22. You must either increase durability and lose value or increase value and decrease durability.

The amount of ‘purity’ gold is measured in karats (‘K’), and is measured in parts of 24. Therefore, something that is 24K gold is 100% pure gold, whereas something that is 18K gold would be 75% gold and 25% alloy. Approximately 90% of wedding bands and gold engagement rings that are sold in the United States are made with 14K gold.
