A woman wears jewelry purchased at an auction.

When it comes time to buy your next ring or necklace, your first reaction may be to head to the mall or a local jewelry store. Shopping at these stores has its perks. Employees will wait on you hand and foot, wrap your gift in a pretty box, and send you off with some type of after-care package. This all sounds ideal, but it comes with a price — sometimes a steep price.

What if we told you there was an alternative? You may not associate jewelry with auctions, but you can find quality, high-end items at affordable prices at your local in-house or online auction. We’re here to expand your thinking so you can better understand where to find jewelry auctions, the type of jewelry you can buy, and what you should look for.
