Questions by Independent Jewelry Stores and Jewelers

How does JewelSonic_Ž help my business?

Many independent jewelry stores and jewelers are struggling with the question of how to compete in the age of the Internet. JewelSonic_Ž provides the answer. JewelSonic_Ž allows independent jewelers and stores to place their items into its highly sophisticated search system and provides access to far more buyers than is possible with individual jeweler or store sites. JewelSonic_Ž does this at far lower cost than maintaining your own website. If you have your own site, JewelSonic_Ž can help grow your business even more. Our custom search system allows for highly detailing searching by buyers and allows you to upload up to six photographs and two appraisal documents for each item. Because JewelSonic_Ž is a classified rather than auction based system, it also has the ability to increase foot traffic into your store.

How is JewelSonic_Ž superior to sites like eBay and Amazon?

Rather than being a generic site that sells everything, we carry only jewelry and watches. Our focus allows us to collect the information buyers want to know when purchasing jewelry, and our customized search engine helps buyers who want your item find it. Focused only on jewelry and watches, JewelSonic_Ž provides its services at far lower costs than competing sites like Amazon and will benefit your business more because most buyers of jewelry wish to see the item in advance. Unlike other sites, JewelSonic_Ž does not charge a percentage of the item but merely a flat fee for listing a piece of jewelry. We offer significant discounts as the number of items you list increases.

Are items sold directly through JewelSonic_Ž?

No, buyers will contact you through JewelSonic_Ž or through the other contact information you post. The buyer will then purchase the item by coming to your store or through other means you arrange. JewelSonic_Ž has the ability to increase foot traffic into your store because most buyers want to see jewelry before purchasing it.

How do jewelry and watch listings become featured?

JewelSonic_Ž selects certain high quality items for featured listings. List your piece today and see if we select it.

What are the file requirements for jewelry and watch photos?

JewelSonic_Ž suggests users upload photos in .jpeg.

How do I upload a photo of an item I wish to sell?

After entering as much information as you know about your item, click the "Upload" button to locate image files on your computer.

What is the best file size to enhance my photo?

Photos should be at least 300 pixels in width and height. Photos are displayed as squares. Please use your image editing software to crop your photos into squares to avoid distortion.

Why isn't JewelSonic_Ž accepting my photograph?

Make sure you have the correct file size and type.

What do I do when I have sold an item I posted on JewelSonic_Ž?

Questions by Sellers of Preowned Jewelry

Why should I list my item on JewelSonic_Ž?: JewelSonic_Ž gives you an alternative to selling to jewelry stores or pawnshops, places where you would be exceptionally lucky to get 30% of the price you paid for diamond jewelry. Listing your item on JewelSonic_Ž allows you to sell to the general public and realize a much higher price.
How is JewelSonic_Ž superior to sites like eBay?: Rather than being a generic site that sells everything, we carry only jewelry and watches. Our focus allows us to collect the information buyers want to know when purchasing jewelry, and our customized search engine helps buyers who want your item find it. By allowing buyers to search for private sellers, JewelSonic_Ž gives buyers the opportunity to arrange to see an item in person and have it certified and appraised before deciding to purchase it. This process gives them more comfort buying your item and helps you realize a higher price.
How should I determine a price for my item?: We recommend that diamond engagement rings be offered on JewelSonic_Ž for half their appraised retail value. This is a reasonable enough discount to encourage buyers to buy from you rather than a jewelry store and still substantially more than you would realize by selling it to a store or pawnshop. Determining a reasonable price for other pieces of jewelry and watches is more difficult. Just remember that you need to offer a large enough discount off jewelry store prices to entice buyers to buy from you. As a very general guideline, we recommend pricing items other than diamond engagement rings between 50-70% of the retail price. Keep in mind that watches, depending on manufacturer and condition, also generally retain more value than other pieces of jewelry.
How long will my jewelry or watch listing be posted to JewelSonic_Ž?: A posting lasts for 90 days or until sold. At the end of the 90 day period, JewelSonic_Ž generally allows you the option to renew your posting. Once your item is sold, we request that you login to your account to remove the item’s listing. That way you aren’t contacted by additional buyers.
Do I need an account to post an item for sale?: Yes, each user must have an account in good standing to post items.
How do I find an appraiser?: Click on JewelSonic_Ž’s Find My Appraiser feature to find an appraiser in your area from the National Association of Jewelry Appraiser’s website. Most jewelry stores will also certify and appraise jewelry. However, you should call in advance because some will refuse to appraise jewelry that was not bought from that store. If possible, you should get it appraised by an independent appraiser. Most large cities have independent appraisers. See our section on Appraisers on our Jewelry Education page for more information.
