When I got to the shop, I said I wanted to look at some small gold jewelry, specifically for making bracelets. I had come to the shop to look at some items during the Year of the Dragon. Back then, there was a very small gold Pixiu that could be used to make a bracelet, and it only cost a little over 400 yuan. That was the same salesperson who served me. They said they could waive the craftsmanship fee, but I didn't buy it then. I thought the price might drop in the future, but the price of gold went up, and I saw the market price online.

The saleswoman said that gold jewelry was relatively inexpensive back then, but prices have since gone up. The store doesn't currently have any small pieces of jewelry; several boxes of small gold ornaments are sold out. Similar items in stock are priced around 700 yuan and some around 1000 yuan. If you could provide pricing information, we could take a look.

I mentioned that I had seen an 18-carved gold ring in the store before and tried it on. Was that item still over three thousand yuan? I wonder if there are any promotions or discounts.

The saleswoman said that item was still available, but it cost over four thousand yuan. The store's engraved gold jewelry had also had its prices adjusted. With the price of pure gold rising, engraved gold jewelry prices would also increase accordingly. The store's promotion was a 10% discount on two or more items, and for an even bigger discount, they offered a 15% discount.

Let me look at the platinum rings in the store. There's a platinum ring with a five-point diamond. One carat is one hundred points. Common wedding rings have diamonds in the tens of points. High-end wedding rings are set with one or two carats of diamonds and have professional grading.

The small diamond platinum ring was priced at over six thousand yuan after the discount. The male salesperson said that the ring contained real diamonds, which is why it was more expensive.

Before the Lunar New Year of the Horse, I inquired about platinum buyback prices. The highest buyback price for 990 platinum was nearly 600 yuan per gram; however, they didn't accept small diamonds. For large diamonds, it depends on the specific situation. If it's of mid-to-high quality, they might offer some money. For high-end diamonds, you should go to professional diamond buyback places; the price they offer might be higher. You should look around and ask around to avoid getting a very low buyback price.

Seeing numerous trending topics, some people's wedding rings, which cost tens of thousands of yuan—more than the price of one or two gold bracelets—were only worth a few hundred yuan when they tried to sell them back, resulting in a devastating loss. The platinum or white gold material of the rings, based on the precious metals recycling market a few months before the Year of the Horse, could be worth a thousand or several thousand yuan, depending on the weight in grams.

Many people don't understand professional diamond grading. They may spend a lot of money to buy only mid- to low-grade diamonds that aren't worth much, resulting in a very low buyback price.

A jewelry shopping spree once swept the nation, with many people buying mid-to-high-end jade and gemstones, spending a considerable sum. However, if the quality wasn't high enough, resale value might be difficult. Merchants need to make a profit, and the actual cost of some diamonds, jade, and gemstones is far lower than their selling price. If you lack professional knowledge and can't assess quality, investing in precious metals might be a better option. As long as the precious metal content meets standards, buyback is generally straightforward. You can find base prices for various types of precious metals online, giving you a better understanding of their potential.
