Iolite sold at Jewel Cafe
Customer's Feedback
Customer's Voice
I was able to sell the iolite that had been sleeping for many years at a high price.
More than 10 years ago, I fell in love at first sight at a jewelry shop and bought a necklace with iolite and melee diamonds. I had only worn it once at my family's wedding. The other day, when I was cleaning up my house, I suddenly remembered that necklace and took it out for the first time in a while to try it on. It looked outdated and old-fashioned, so I thought I'd give it to my daughter or sister, so I asked her if she would use it. I was in trouble. When I bought it, I thought it was cute, so I bought it for a reasonable amount of money, so I couldn't throw it away, so I consulted with my husband. I asked him if he could give me one, so I took him to try it out. Iolite didn't seem to be a very popular gemstone, but the female staff member who took care of me took the time to take a good look at it. He bought it for me! He was a very trustworthy staff member who listened to me about various things such as how I let go, so if I have something to sell again, I would like to ask at this shop.
I sold the iolite that came out in the sorting out of the belongings
When my mother passed away last year and I was cleaning up my parents' house, I found some jewelry that my mother used to wear. I didn't know anything about jewelry, so I didn't know if it would sell or not, or what it was. He taught me what I could do and what I couldn't do. He also told me about the types of stones, and I found out that the bluish-purple stone that seemed to be the most expensive was called iolite. It was my first time to use this kind of shop, so I was very nervous at first, but the cheerful staff who were very easy to talk to and taught me various things about the products, so I was able to leave it to them with peace of mind. rice field. He also told me that iolite is the birthstone for September, and we had a lot of fun talking about it. I still have jewelry other than iolite that I didn't bring this time, so I would like to ask for it here again next time.
I sold the iolite ring at a high price!
I bought a used iolite ring when iolite was popular in the past. I don't need it anymore, so I want to sell it, so I've been looking for a shop where I can buy iolite online. I searched around my home and found several shops that seemed to buy iolite at a high price, and decided to order from the shop with the highest price. Jewel Cafe was the last one I went to, but I decided on Jewel Cafe because the price was higher than other shops and the clerk's friendliness was good. I've been told that they also buy a lot of other things, so next time I'd like to go and sell a large amount of surplus coupons at home!
I sold an iolite ring whose size no longer fits.
A long time ago, my mother gave me an iolite ring with a certificate of authenticity. I really liked it, but as I got older, my finger size gradually changed and I couldn't fit it in, so at first I considered changing the size and using it. When I took it to a jewelry shop near her home and had her look at it, I learned that just resizing would cost a lot of money, so I brought it back and consulted her mother. I got this iolite ring from my mother more than 20 years ago, and my mother said, "The design is old, why don't you sell it and buy a new one?" I remembered that I bought it at Jewel Cafe, and when I asked for an appraisal to see how much it would cost, the price was more than double what I thought it would cost, so I asked for it on the spot. She said that it was good that the woman who was in charge had the iolite identification document as a set. It was my second time using her, but she was very polite and I was able to do business with peace of mind, so I would like to use her again.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
-
QWhat is the best time to sell gemstone jewellery??
-
AThe value of gemstone jewellery goes up and down every day, but the market for second-hand gemstone jewellery is booming, so this is the best time to sell. In addition, the valuation proposed by Jewel Cafe is not only based on speculation on the purchase price of the gemstone jewelry, but also considers various background factors of the jewelry item, so we can always recycle at a higher price.
-
QIs there any additional cost involved in purchasing or assessing gemstone jewellery?
-
AOur gemstone jewelry identification service is completely free. Even if you are dissatisfied with the final estimate, we still do not charge any fees. Jewel Cafe is famous for quick store acquisitions, but we also provide free home delivery and on-site acquisition services. Welcome to choose the acquisition method that best suits you.
-
QAny tips for increasing your gemstone jewelry acquisition rate??
-
AIf you bring gemstone jewelry along with other designer items, this will result in a higher assessed price. Combinations such as "jewelry, boutique bags" or "metals, fine watches, diamonds" are no problem. We will propose a 10–20% bonus for simultaneous identification of a large number of items. For details, please contact the store staff.
-
QI have gemstone jewelry that I want to sell. Do I need to make an appointment?
-
AThe appraisal of gemstone jewellery does not require an appointment. Welcome to visit anytime! Jewel Cafe's stores are located in prime locations such as MRT stations and department stores, so you can also stop by when shopping. However, when there are many people, you may have to wait for a while, so in order to conduct appraisal and acquisition more smoothly, it is better to make an appointment in advance.
-
QWon't jewelry stores offer higher appraisal prices??
-
Ait's not true. Only a professional recycling shop like us can offer a higher appraisal price. Jewelry stores only accept trade-in (exchange the value of old jewelry for new jewelry, and recharge if it is not enough), or it is also possible to install the recovered gemstones on another jewelry. On the contrary, Jewel Cafe not only does not reuse the purchased jewelry, but also strives to offer a fairer and more satisfying purchase price.
-
QCan jewelry without warranty be authenticated?
-
AWe also accept jewelry without a warranty! A warranty can indeed enhance the credibility of the jewelry, but Jewel Cafe is constantly looking for the latest research on gemstone verification and market conditions, so we are confident that we can still provide the jewelry without a warranty. Jewelry offers an appraisal price that will satisfy you.

Iolite Ring
The Iolite product that dominants our shop is the ring. Iolite is named for "IOS", which means bluish purple in Greek, and "LITHOS," which means stone. Another name is cordierite. It looks blue or violet when viewed from above, and almost colorless or pale brown when viewed from the side. Such a mysterious property is called polychromatism. The hardness is about 7, which is harder than quartz and has high in durability.
Iolite necklace
The next is the necklace. Iolite has long been known as water sapphire. Also, among the many blue gems, iolite is easy to identify at a glance. In the past, the Nordic Vikings used a thin plate of iolite as a polarizer and confirmed the position of the sun without being affected by haze, fog or clouds and sailed. For this reason, Iolite has been called the "Viking compass."
Iolite earrings
There are also many bring-in earrings. Only transparent iolite is facet cut, and translucent is cabochon cut, making it a jewelry material. It's cheaper than similar-colored sapphires, but the peculiar blue feels calm and you can enjoy the unique beauty of iolite rather than positioning it as an alternative to Gem Quality blue sapphire. Low quality items are carved (engraved) as well as cabochon cut.
