Antique jewelry is typically very valuable, and purchasing such jewelry costs quite a bit of money.

But then again, it is possible to buy antique jewelry wholesale as well - if you know where to look.

For many individuals, the first place they tend to look is at online auctions, like eBay.

Sometimes this can be an excellent method, however, in most cases the seller is aware of the price of what they have to offer, and this is usually very high.

There are other techniques you can try to find antique jewelry at or even below wholesale prices.

Keep an eye on your newspaper for advertised estate sales and garage sales.

Normally, people holding these types of sales usually don't realize the value of the items they have.

You have a chance to buy hundreds or even thousands of dollars of rare and antique jewelry for pennies on the dollar.

Don't look to closely at the pieces of jewelry you are interesting in purchasing.

If the piece is valuable, you don't want the seller to know how valuable it is!

It is not your problem that the seller didn't bother to get the jewelry appraised.

So, do your best to keep a straight face. Stay happy and spend the fifty cents or a few dollars that the seller wants for the jewelry. Then, get in your car and drive to a jeweler for an appraisal.

You may find that the piece isn't worth much, however, there are times when you will come across some real values.

You could also break it down and use it for parts to make jewelry if you find that the piece has little or no value.

Locating antique jewelry at wholesale prices is fun and exciting.

I truly enjoy spending weekends and mornings visiting yard and estate sales. It is my addiction.

I have found that the very best place to find antique jewelry at wholesale prices are at estate sales. Especially those where the grandchildren just want to get rid of grandma's old jewelry.

In addition, it might be a good idea to check for bargains on eBay from time to time.

Keep an eye on the jewelry categories, as well as the antique or vintage categories.

It goes without saying that if you do find an item you want to make a bid for, be sure to verify that the seller has good feedback.

Also talk to the seller quite a bit to be sure that you understand exactly what is being advertised!
