www.marykay.co.uk/awilliam visit my
friend Eric salmon a few things and
there's not a whole lot that can go
wrong with a piece you know if you buy
it from like a pawn shop they're gonna
want to test acid tests there do some
type of testing to know exactly what
they're buying they don't want to buy a
gold plated
14 karat gold chain they need to make
sure that it is indeed 14 karat gold so
they might make a small file mark into
the link or the piece of jewelry so make
sure when you're buying it to inspect it
and it's everything is good it's
polished it's clean there's no foul
marks or anything like that scratches
and also if it's a gemstone or diamond
piece has diamonds gemstones set in it
you want to make sure that those are
intact as well now it's very hard just
to look at a piece and say oh the
settings good
so when buying a piece like that you
might have problems with stones falling
out over time the place you're buying
for it does it have a warranty anything
like that because you'll probably end up
going to a local jeweler and having
those stones replace and fix you just
don't know if that ring was dropped or
how long of the settings bad at the
diamonds are chipped gemstones or chips
so those are the things you have to
factor in when buying pre-owned jewelry
don't get too nervous when I say
diamonds and gemstones can fall out
because that could happen anywhere you
could buy a brand new piece and you know
six months later a diamond falls out but
the good thing if you buy it from a
jeweler a jeweler store that has a
warranty they'll fix it and take care of
it for free at least they should and
most do I know I do with all my pieces
that just happens it's the nature of the
beast
so you want to have that peace of mind
when when buying a piece with a warranty
that you're protected all your Julie
would be taken care of the other thing
why said you're not gonna find pre-owned
jewelry in a jewelry store because you
don't walk into a jewelry store and they
have a cabinet showcases of new
jewellery and then they have a showcase
of pre-owned really all jewelry is new
to you and now most a lot of jewelers
will buy a lot of pre-owned you might go
and see we buy jewelry diamonds Rolexes
things like that because that's how they
make a lot of their money they buy very
cheap from people like you and then they
clean it polish it and say it's new it
takes about 20 minutes to get a piece
that looks like it was put into a
blender and spun around and all chipped
and worn to look just like new you just
clean it polish it and it's good to go
so you don't always know when you're
buying you might even went to a Jewish
store and bought a piece and it's you
know ten years old you have no idea
because it looked brand new and you
thought because you're buying it in a
jewelry shop it is new but so that's
kind of the thing you don't you like go
to the doughnut shop and they have all
the fresh baked doughnuts and then they
got that little cabinet to the left
where it's like the old day old
doughnuts or they're selling for like 25
cents or 50 cents that's how it should
be but jeweler shops
they'll just clean polish it and put it
all in there and say it's new the
benefit of for you to go shop on eBay or
go to a pawn shop or second-hand shop
and search for a pre-owned or use piece
of jewelry is the price it should be
less than a brand new piece if you're
going to a jewelry store and buy it so
that is the trade-off you're gonna spend
less but are you gonna get the warranty
are you gonna get the peace of mind it's
whatever is important to you when you're
shopping around so that's the thing you
should expect and anticipate to pay less
unlike you know any piece of jewelry it
doesn't matter because they are paying
less pawn shops they're buying it with
the to keep in mind that they're gonna
scrap those pieces they'll try to sell
them so they should be significantly
less than if you were to go to retail
store and pay so that is the trade-off
do you want to just buy something you
know that's a little less pre-owned and
used or do you want to go to Jewish shop
and spend a little bit more now I know
you guys are wondering what do I think
what do I recommend for you lately just
talking to a lot of you guys be a DM
I'm hearing a lot of different stories
and so most of those stories are bad
stories about spying jeweller
experiences I would just recommend
shopping around and doing your research
for whatever piece you're looking for
whether it's through me or through
someone else you just need to know what
you're looking for and shop around and
just gather all the information you guys
hit me up constantly this is a three
millimeter rope chain should it be this
price should it be this way and
sometimes you know I have to break the
bad news to you guys that it's not a
solid chain it's a little overpriced and
you know that's just what you get for
shopping around that's the good thing
about all of this is you guys have the
ability to shop around whether it be you
want to buy some off eBay pawnshop or
through me through someone else
it's that's the beauty of it is just
shopping around and doing your research
and finding the right piece of jewelry
for you so that's what I would recommend
I don't necessarily recommend buying
something off eBay or through a
secondhand shop or pawn shop unless you
do all your research and same thing if
you're going to retail shop or like go
online and buy in a chain do your
research and I will make an eBay where I
go on eBay I'll screen record and we'll
shop around for different change just to
show you guys kind of what I would be
looking for and I would I want you guys
to be looking for when you're shopping
for a piece of jewellery so stay tuned
for that video just do your research
shop around and know what you're buying
when it comes to any jewelry pre-owned
or not and just get the best deal the
nice piece that you deserve that's it
for today's video and we will see you on
