Sale

The best deal depends not only on the size of the discount but also on the quality of the piece, its certificates, the warranty and the delivery and returns terms. There are currently no items in this sale category, but it is worth checking the range and your favourites regularly. When buying, consider the whole offer, including free insured delivery, a 2-year warranty, certificates confirming quality and free returns or exchange within 60 days.

Good deals are most often found in January, during the post-holiday sales, and in November, during the major seasonal sales. Discounts also appear when collections change. Even so, it is better to take your time choosing an engagement ring or another important piece, considering the design, the properties of the metal, the quality of the diamonds or gemstones and the warranty provided.

Online jewellery stores often offer lower prices, as their running costs can be lower than those of physical showrooms. However, the lowest price alone should not be the main deciding factor. It is important to check the metal fineness, the properties of the diamonds or gemstones, the certificates, the warranty and the returns terms. If you are looking for jewellery within a specific budget, you can easily browse engagement rings under 1000 euros or gifts under 500 or 1000 euros.

To get a fairer and often higher price, it is usually better to offer your jewellery to a jeweller or a specialist buyer of precious metals and gemstones. A specialist can assess not only the weight and fineness of the metal but also the diamonds, other gemstones, craftsmanship, condition and design value.

A pawnbroker is more suitable when you need money quickly or want to leave the piece as security and redeem it later. However, a pawnbroker’s offer is often lower, as it is mainly based on quick resale and scrap metal value. Before selling, it is worth getting several independent offers.

14ct gold contains 58.5 per cent pure gold and in Lithuania is usually marked with 585 fineness. The exact value of a ring depends on its weight, the gold price on the day, its condition, design, quality of manufacture and any diamonds or other gemstones set in it.

The approximate metal value is calculated by multiplying the ring’s weight in grams by 0.585 and by the current price of pure gold per gram. This is the theoretical gold value, so a buyer’s offer is usually lower. If the ring contains high-quality diamonds or gemstones, its value as a piece of jewellery can be considerably higher than the metal price alone. A professional valuer can determine it most accurately.
