How Do I Find Out How Much My Necklace Is Worth?
At Value My Stuff, we offer appraisals on all types of jewelry, including necklaces. If you don't know anything about the necklace, e.g., the type of metal of the chain (yellow gold, white gold, steel, etc.), and the size of the diamond in the pendant, then the best way is to go to a local jeweler who can examine the ting in-person. With their tools, they can give you information about the metal as well as the quality and size of the stone. With that information, you can easily submit an appraisal on Value My Stuff by including images and information about the necklace to get an appraisal from our necklace expert.

How Much Does It Cost to Get a Necklace Appraised?
At Value My Stuff, we charge $28 for a 48h appraisal. You'll get your necklace appraised by a world-leading expert, and you'll receive a certification that can be used for insurance purposes but also be used if you want to sell your necklace.
Why Should You Get a Necklace Appraised?
It's always good to know the value of your property, whether it's items you never intend to sell or not. If you want to sell, then it's essential to have a third-party valuation. If you don't want to sell, it's still good to know the value for insurance purposes, as you never know what can happen. It's therefore important to know the value, and we recommend the services of Value My Stuff. If you have more than one item, then we offer packages. The bigger the package, the bigger the discount.
Factors That Impact The Value of a Necklace
One could divide necklaces into two main categories – necklaces that are only a chain and necklaces that are a chain and also have a pendant (or other things attached to the chain). If it's a chain-only necklace then the value simply comes down to the metal of the chain. Obviously, silver is worth more than steel; gold is worth more than silver, and so on. When you know the metal, then the weight is essential as you need to multiply the value per gram of e.g., gold, by the total amount of grams. However, if there's a pendant, then you need to look at the material. Is it a precious stone? A diamond, a ruby, etc.? If we're talking about high-end necklaces, the value often lies in the pendant. Also, the condition may have an impact, but often when it comes to necklaces, the condition is more than often very good.
Famous Makers of Necklaces
And yes, the brand has value, too. If we compare a yellow gold plain necklace from an unknown maker with a sterling silver plain necklace from Cartier of Tiffany & Co., then the price tags could pretty much be the same. That's strange, of course, since yellow gold is more expensive than sterling silver, but the price tag is also based on the fact that the maker is Cartier of Tiffany & Co. Other high-end brands when it comes to necklaces are Chanel, Graff, Hermès, and Givenchy.
Maker's Mark
If you're buying a necklace made by a famous maker, you'll get a fancy box and a nice little dust bag. But even without the box and bag, there's something called maker's mark, meaning that the maker (e.g. Cartier) marks the necklace with their name or logo. Sometimes also the designer can have their name engraved. The reason for this is that one doesn't need to have a box, bag, or even a receipt to be able to tell who made the jewelry. It's like a painter signing his or her painting.
