What would be the resale value of this?

[Lhayes67]

Pretty sure these are akoyas. It's a 7-in bracelet with 24 6mm pearls and a stamped 14K yellow gold clasp. The clasp is a bit dented but not majorly.





I hope I attached that right.

It's really difficult to say because it's impossible to determine anything about the quality from that photo. I suggest trying to determine the overall quality and then researching similar pieces.

 

[Lhayes67]

That would be practically impossible to do because they're on auction through Goodwill.

Here's another closer-up pic. That's the best one they have.

It would be a complete gamble because of the quality of the photos. It could be worth hundreds of dollars, it could be worth the value of the clasp.

For resale value the best way is to check ended eBay listings for similar items. Make sure to check for the ones that actually sold. On this I often hear akoya necklaces being sold for a couple of hundred dollars so even for a good quality akoya bracelet (and your guess is as good as mine with only those shots to go by ) probably would not bring in that much if you wanted to resell it.

Actually I was thinking about buying it but didn't know what was a fair bidding price. It's Goodwill so the starting bid was only like $5.

Of course I'd LOVE to pay $5 for an akoya bracelet! LOL

Th pearls look off-round to me.

The pearls seem to have fairly good luster, so perhaps decide what top price you are willing to pay. I probably wouldn't go above $25.

I decided against it. Thanks for y'all's help!
