Do you have used jewelry sitting in your dresser drawer, jewelry box or in a container stuffed in the back of your closet? Get rid of it! If it’s not bringing you joy, Marie Kondo that *ish* and just let it go. Why keep it around for even one more day?
You may have a diamond ring from a marriage that fizzled out. Or, you might have pearls passed down by a great aunt you loathed. Maybe you have several 18K gold herringbone necklaces that were all the rage in 1994, but you would NEVER wear now. Ditch them!

Letting go of your used jewelry doesn’t have to be a sad thing. And it certainly doesn’t need to be something to be embarrassed by. It doesn’t have to be done when you are in dire straights financially either.
Thinking about selling some of your used jewelry? Check out 4 reasons it might be a positive and very profitable idea.
4 Reasons to Ditch Your Used Jewelry
1. You don’t need to hold on to bad memories.
Jewelry can hold many memories. When you slip that bracelet on your wrist, does it conjure up wonderful thoughts or does it remind you of people and experiences you’d rather forget? Just because a piece is expensive, name brand or even exquisitely beautiful, you don’t have to keep it. Let go of what you don’t need anymore.
2. You can make some easy cash.
Yes, it is true. Selling used jewelry can make you money. In Atlanta, there’s no need to go to far off neighborhoods which may or may not be familiar to you to sell off the jewelry you don’t need or want anymore. Chapes JPL is located in Buckhead, right near Lenox Square Mall. Parking is nearby and it is adjacent to MARTA too. Established in 1980 as an alternative to banks and traditional pawnbrokers, they provide low interest loans on gold, diamonds, jewelry, car loans and other valuable assets.
There’s no need to go to a typical pawnshop with high interest rates, questionable surroundings or other predatory practices when you can deal with experienced professionals in a comfortable private office setting that looks like your dentist’s or doctor’s office. Except at this office you leave with cash. They offer a simple and safe solution that anybody and everybody can use.

3. You need to let things go out, so new ones can come in.
One of the best things about cleaning out your jewelry box is that you are creating room for some new precious pieces. Whether you want to ditch your used jewelry because they harbor bad memories or are just out of style, you can have so much fun finding replacements. You can feel good about letting someone else enjoy your lovely things and then finding something new for yourself. You can not receive something new while your fist is still clenched onto something old. Open up your fingers, friend, and let go of the things you don’t need anymore. Let other finds, even better things, replace them.
4. Lighten up.
We are always trying to lose weight right? Get tight and right? Well lighten up your jewelry wardrobe can help you lose a different kind of weight. Maybe you will lose the weight the past is putting on you. Maybe you will lose the weight of a broken heart that needs to heal. Losing the weight of a few ounces of gold may not make a difference on the scale but it could make a gigantic difference in the weight you are carrying around upon your shoulders. And I would be remiss to not add that when you lighten up your jewelry box, you will gain some weight in your wallet. That’s my favorite type of weight to gain!
When you let go of used jewelry that is weighing you down, you may find you lose more than a few ounces. In fact, you may gain something that’s worth even more: self-respect, self-assurance, self-confidence and self-love. I think that’s a pretty trade-off!
