Little classic for sale. Few careful owners, and sparkling performance. A bargain
Article Abstract:
It is worth considering purchasing second-hand jewellery as a gift, as it offers much better value than new jewellery. Its quality is generally much higher than that of modern jewellery, especially where it uses traditional skills that have now been lost. New jewellery attracts VAT at 17.5%, while most private individuals can sell second-hand items at auction and not attract VAT. Furthermore, new jewellery also depreciates in value very rapidly.

Article Abstract:
It is vital to obtain a reliable valuation of an antique before deciding to sell it. Books which give price guides can sometimes be misleading, so it is better to turn to a large auction house for an instant valuation. When making a sale, it may be possible to go directly to a private collector, but it is generally better to offer an antique to a dealer, or sell it at auction. Valuable antiques should be sold through a specialist dealer.
