Question : Does Cash for Gold take loose gemstones?
I know it's a scam. I don't care hahah. No one buys loose gemstones around here and I'm not doing that Ebay bullshit. So yea, does anyone know for sure if Cash for Gold takes loose gems? A simple "yes they do" or "no they don't" is sufficient

Answer:
They will take them. They just won't give you anything for them. They don't even pay for diamonds that are mounted in jewelry.

Question : I would like to sell loose gemstones, does anyone have any suggestions of how to sell them or who would buy?
I live in Missouri and I didn't know if jewelers typically buy loose gemstones from individuals.

Answer:
Well, that is a difficult question. I would say, it all depends on the gemstones that you have. Many local jewelers are not always familiar with the world of colored gemstones. Diamonds are their mainstream of profit.The thing is, a local jeweler is looking to make a profit from whatever someone would like to sell them. It does not matter how much the particular gemstone in question is worth, but what they can turn around and sell it for. Keep that in mind. A better bet is to post your knowledge of your pieces in a private ad, along with references and try to sell that way. Craigslist is a good option...Hope that helps....

I would like to know where to find buyers for these with out having to practicaly give them away. I have had them checked out buy a jewler and they are real natural gemstones

Answer:
Ask for quotes from a number of jewelers.Look for gem shows in your area. While most of the vendors there are not interested in small quantities, This is wheere you will have your best chance of finding someone looking for just one or two stones, and willing to pay fair value for them.If you have a flea market in your area you might try offering them for sale there, or consigning them to a reputable vendor.

Question : Is there a cheap way to idenify loose gemstones?
I have a BUNCH of loose gemstones that I have received and I have no idea how to go about identifying them without paying big bucks. The books and sites that I have found suggest using expensive equipment, which I cannot afford. Is there a good book/s that will help a novice identify stones or any where or way I might be able to identify these without breaking the bank??

Answer:
If you want to simply identify what gemstones do you have ( stones varieties, names) and you don't want to spent weeks reading books then your best move will be to visit your local gemdealer and pay him some small fee for reviewing your collection. Do not try jewellers or diamond dealers, because they don't know much about colour stones. You can also visit local GIA campus and ask students to help you. They should be glad to practice with your gemstones , especially if they doing identification course.If you want to check whenever your gemstones are natural ( gemstone identification), then your only option is to use gem lab and pay for the identification reports. Depending of the lab, stone size and type of report it will cost you betwen 15 USD to 150 USD per gemstone.Below links to some gem labs:GIA < http://www.gia.edu/ > ( Gem lab and campus in USA)Gemlab < http://www.gemlab.net/ > ( Gem lab in Liechtenstein) LGL < http://www.lglab.com/ > ( Gem lab in USA)GemA < http://www.gem-a.info/ > ( Gem lab in UK)AIGS < http://www.aigslaboratory.com/ > ( Gem lab in Thailand, Cheap)

Question : Where can I find a place in Arizona buying loose gemstones?
I have a lot of loose gemstones that i found when I moved into this house and I need to find a place to sell them now.The Pawn Shop and a lot of other jewelery places don't take loose stones so if you could tell me of a place you might know that does, that would be amazingI have about 12 little stones, dunno what they are but I know they're real cuz the dude at the Pawn Shop told me haha but he couldn't buy it.Thanks :)

Answer:
There are a couple of big gemshows in Arizona usually held in the beginning of the year (so sorry looks like you may have to wait until early 2010).There is a link below for one in Tucson. There is also one in the appropriately named Quartzite, Arizona (near Blythe) that is pretty large. See the 2nd link.Most likely I am guessing you live in or near Phoenix so you are in for a drive either way, but Arizona has got great landscapes so it might be a fun road trip.

Question : I have a friend with loose gemstones and she is not sure where to get the little cases to store them in.?
Can anyone tell me where she might find the little cases?

Answer:
Go to Ikea, or your local fabric store - they have those used for storing threads. If all else fails, If you check your local hardware store ( Home Depot?), just get the container trays for nails.Same idea. Hope this helps.
