I have only wanted to sell old jewelry that belonged to my grandmother one time and that was about six months ago when it seemed like I was not going to be able to pay my mortgage payment for the month. I was laid off temporarily and after searching online for ideas to come up with quick cash, I found sell old jewelry on one of the lists. I knew that some of my grandmother’s pieces were very expensive but I wanted to hang on to them for my daughters to have someday.

When my husband found out that I was thinking of selling old jewelry he became really mad and felt like I did not have faith in him to handle our financial responsibilities. I know that without my salary, we could just make the bills before but without it, I felt like I needed to do something. He let me know that in no way would I be selling old jewelry to pay for our house. He believes that it is like stealing from our kid’s inheritance by selling the old jewelry of my grandmothers.

When we had the jewelry appraised over five years ago, it was worth over fifty thousand dollars, so he truly believes that it should double if not triple in the next fifteen to twenty years and our children can make the decision to sell it or not when the time is right.
