The market for used watches is firming up some but it is still a buyers market. There are still more sellers than buyers as is the case in most luzury items. The sport watches such as the Daytona, Submariner, yachtmaster and GMT are still the most desirable of the Rolex. Bigger is better is the case of the ladies Rolex. Women are defenitly trending to a mans size watch and with our aging baby boomers, I see no reason for that to change, as none of our eyes are getting any better as we age………….

With the dollar falling everyday and commodity prices sky rocketing, its just a matter of time before the prices of diamond go up. I think that we will see a sharp increase in the cost of fine stones. The prices of 1.5ct and bigger bring premium’s and its getting harder to find well made stones. The good news is there are no shortage of folks selling their jewelry do to hard times and divorce. The deals are out there you just have to search in your area for the guy who buys pre-owned treasures. Spring is here and young couples are falling in love. The diamond selling season is here……………..

In these trying economic times, used jewelryis coming out of the woodwork. People that need to sell thier stuff best be prepared for a shock when they go to sell it. Most jewelry store mark up there jewelry about 200% at least. Thats why when you take it back to the store you bought it from to sell it back you get, “we are sorry but we don’t buy jewelry, we only take it in trade towards another purchase” Of course, because if they had to buy it back you would be lucky to get 20 cents on the dollar back. How would that look 
Like you paid way to much when you bought it. Moral of the story, stay away from big stores with lots of overhead. You are paying for it!!!!

When buying a diamond for the one you love, you should have a good knowledge of the 4 C’s. Clarity, color, cut and carat weight. Clarity is very important but one should not go overboard on this because any stone that is more than just eye clean (SI2), is spending money on something that can not be enjoyed be you or anyone by the naked eye. Better too spend your money on a bigger stone or one that has a higher color. Make sure that the diamond you purchase has not been clarity enhanced. This process takes a diamond that has flaws that can be seen to the naked eye and turns the stone into one that now looks clean to the eye by injecting a plastic into the stone to mask the flaws. This is not forever. If the stone is ever subjected to any heat from a jewelers torch, say to repair a prong, the plastic will discolor or melt from the stone. Always make sure you have an appraisal stating the stone is not been clarity enhanced.
Here is a great article that I came across. http://www.diamondreview.com/tutor/4cs/tutor_4cs_clarity.shtml

With gold prices at an all time high, well over 1200 per ounce, now is the right time to clean out your jewelry box and sell your gold. This is a bubble in my opinion and gold prices will eventually come back down to realistic levels. Do not sell to a pawnshop, gold party at someones house or put it in the mail. Big mistakes with all three!!!! Look for a diamond buyer in your community and he will most likely buy your gold also.
All the best, JB
