Do you have a ring with a gemstone that you really love, but a setting that you can’t stand? How about a charm bracelet that has lost its charm? Maybe you even have an old engagement ring or wedding ring that you no longer wish to wear. Turning old gold jewelry into cash is a great way to transform your jewelry collection while also getting a bit of extra cash.

Let’s start with your gemstone jewelry. Chance are, if you are a jewelry lover, you probably have several rings, pendants, or even bracelets that contain beautiful gemstones that you love, but have settings that are no longer in style or attractive to you. You love the gemstones, but you find yourself bypassing these items in your jewelry box for items that have more attractive settings or are more stylish.

Lucky for you, “recycling” these jewelry items is an easy way to make turn these gemstones into jewelry that you will love to wear. Here’s how: take your gemstone jewelry to a trustworthy jeweler, and have the jeweler take the gemstones out of the unattractive settings for a nominal fee. Then, sell the old gold jewelry settings to a gold broker. Gold Paq can make the process simple and easy for you and offer a substantial cash payment for this gold that you no longer need.

Now comes the fun part. Once you’ve sold your gold, and have your profits to reinvest in your jewelry, start looking around for jewelry designs that are attractive to you and that use gemstones similar in size, shape, and quantity to those that you have. However, do not stop at just one design; unless you have experience with jewelry design yourself, you may not be able to judge just exactly what can be done with the gemstones you have, and the jeweler that you select to reset your stones may need several designs to choose from in order to find one that works. This is a wonderful way to use the money you have earned from selling your old gold jewelry settings to create custom or semi-custom designs yourself.

However, if you do have some experience with jewelry design, or wish to begin designing jewelry as a hobby, taking your less precious gemstones out of the old settings and selling the gold is the perfect way to start. The tools to design your own jewelry are readily available and reasonably priced. Jewelry Television’s a great starting point, and have many of the relatively inexpensive tools you will need to begin designing your own jewelry using these gemstones that you have now freed from the old gold jewelry settings you had. They offer tools that can help you determine the metric size of your gemstones, which will allow you to then select new settings for these gemstones, and tools to help you set the stones yourself. If you are a beginner, you may want to begin with the very inexpensive sterling silver settings that Jewelry Television offers, including easy to use “snap-in” settings that require no tools at all.

If you have an old diamond and gold engagement ring that you no longer find attractive, or an old diamond and gold wedding set that you no longer wear, selling the gold in these old items is one way to remodel this jewelry into something you will be thrilled to wear.

Again, start by having the diamonds and other gemstones taken out of these engagement and wedding sets by a trustworthy jeweler. Keep the diamonds and gemstones, and sell the gold GoldPaq. Then, using the profits from your gold sale, have these gemstones reset in a style that you desire.

Having an original, less than impressive engagement and wedding sets remade by taking the diamonds and using them alongside larger diamonds or other gemstones makes an excellent, and sure-to-be treasured anniversary gift. For those who have divorced, taking these diamonds and resetting them into other jewelry, either for yourself or your children, is a great idea to remake gold jewelry that you no longer plan to wear.

Remodeling your jewelry by keeping the gemstones and selling the gold for profit that you can then use to have the gemstones reset into your own designs is something that any jewelry lover or budding jewelry designer should consider. Selling the gold settings will allow you to reset the jewelry in a ring, pendant, or bracelet that you can be proud to say you designed yourself. And you may find yourself with a little cash left over, to invest in other jewelry, of course!
