Appraising your own jewelry requires knowledge of certain key factors:

1. Examine the materials: Identify the type of metal and gemstones. Look for markings, such as karat stamps or hallmarks.
2. Check the condition: scratches, missing stones, or damage reduce value.
3. Research comparable pieces: Look for similar items online to gauge market value.
4. Consider the craftsmanship and era: vintage or antique jewelry often has higher value.

However, for an accurate valuation, it’s best to consult a professional appraiser.
