Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I wouldn't sell to a jeweller. He might give you a valuation. The Lady magazine might be a possible. You probably need to find out about the necklace, where purchased, what type of pearls, how many of them and likely value. Jewellers here tend to be chains selling rubbish.You need a private sale to get best value. Sally Anita wrote: > > Sorry to be so very OT but I don't know who else to ask.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Yuck. Sorry I just realized this may look like I'm trying to sell something on the list. I'm not. Just trying to get some advice if anyone has any experience with this. Anita > > Sorry to be so very OT but I don't know who else to ask.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 However you sell it, I think you should sell it with a proper evaluation. Otherwise you’ll be told it’s worth a lot less.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Anita, now you're in the UK you might be able to get funding for biomed (up to £2K per year) from the Caudwell Trust. Margaret PS if you are going to sell get a written signed valuation from a top jeweller. Is it real pearls or cultured? > > Sorry to be so very OT but I don't know who else to ask.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 My mother used to deal in antiques etc. She would go to a a couple of auctioneers to get an evaluation. Christies and Sothebys are of course the tops and then there is one that start with " B " but I cannot remember the name ( Where is that choline I ordered ??arghh) Maybe Boltons or something like that. Check your local phone book for branches of big aution companies. mcollins2001uk schrieb: > > Anita, > now you're in the UK you might be able to get funding for biomed (up to > £2K per year) from the Caudwell Trust. > Margaret > PS if you are going to sell get a written signed valuation from a top > jeweller.
