It’s the occasion for hot and delightful goodies, chestnuts roasting, and lots and lots of gift giving. While these days may appear wonderful and full of joy and happiness for many, for some, the question is, “how can I afford the holidays this year”? Below, we’ve put together five smart and easy tips to help you.
Sell Your Gold
Do you have gold jewelry laying around your home accumulating dust? This is the time to make a change and consider partying with it. Selling your jewelry will not only free up space in your jewelry box, it will also add more cash to your pocket. The best part is that selling your gold provides you with increased finances the same day, avoids putting gifts and more on your credit cards and puts things that are lying around to work. The best part about selling your gold is that the process is simple.
First, you’ll set up your appointment for an agreed upon day and time with your local jeweler. Once you bring in your gold, it will be tested and assessed in almost no time at all. This means that in the time it takes you to return to your jewelry buyer from your local diner, a quote will be available for you! If you choose to accept the offer, a check made out to you on the same day. Suddenly, you’ll have the funds you need for plenty of gifts and treats for your loved ones without having to stress or raise your anxiety.
Sell Your Diamonds
If you’ve got beautiful diamond jewelry that you’re no longer interested in for various reasons, this is where they will come in handy for you. Selling your diamonds can be just what you need. Not only will selling your gold go a long way, diamonds are also luxury assets that can help you out when times are tough. Though the diamond industry has seen its share of ups and downs, they are sure to pay off for you in the end. Perhaps, you still have the engagement ring from a previous relationship. Well, now you can earn extra cash from that diamond ring that ring.
The more you know about your diamond, the more you stand to gain financially. When it comes to selling your diamond, there are several factors that you’ll need to take into consideration. For instance, learning about the diamond’s cut, clarity, color, and carat weight (the 4cs) will help you to decide whether your diamond buyer is giving you a justifiable deal. Having the GIA certificate for your diamond will also increase the value of your diamond. A GIA certificate is one of the highest standards of diamond reporting and is utilized by most top jewelers.
Sell Your Watch
Don’t worry. Jewelry isn’t the only way to gain fast cash for the holidays. Your ticket to extra income could be right there on your nightstand staring back at you. That’s right!
