More and more people have been selling their gold jewelry to either cover expenses or to just take advantage of record high prices. While people enjoy using their jewelry for decoration or luxury, more and more people find that jewelry has a more economical purpose to serve. Either way, jewelry represent both classic elegance and monetary value.

Here's a few of the reasons some people why people sell gold jewelry:

Reason #1: It's Quick Way to Get Cash.
Right now, if you need cash and need it quick, applying for a traditional loan in the bank seems impossible. Settling for private lenders, like payday loans and hard money lenders just doesn't seem fitting because of the high interest rates and rapid turnover of the principal amount. So, why not make some quick cash, without interest rates, by selling your gold jewelry. Selling gold jewelry is an ideal option to generate quick and large amounts of cash especially if it's unused jewelry. While many people aren’t always happy to part with their gold jewelry, selling a few unused pieces (including diamonds, gold, silver and platinum) and turning that into more money means putting your money to work for you rather that it just sitting in the safe or the jewelry box.

Reason #2: You can Earn Profits.
With gold prices soaring, it's always a good time to sell unwanted jewelry. Jewelry, because it is small, rare and not so easy to acquire, is a commodity that often increases in value over time. If the gold jewelry item has rare diamonds or stones, it sometimes becomes worthy for selling at a high price. Rich people who collect rare jewelry know, too, that this price can continue to drive upwards, even after a piece of jewelry is first sold. The wise, savvy, and wealthy investor knows how to take jewelry and turn it into profit.

Reason #3: You Found Something New and Better.
With the purchase of a new diamond ring or pair of earrings, an older piece of jewelry might become out-of-fashion in the safe or jewelry box. Instead of just sitting there, the jewelry can be sold for a fair price, and that price can be used to acquire something new or better.

Reason #4: Your Gold Jewelry is Damaged and Broken.
If you have a necklace with a busted clasp or earrings without mates, or an old watch that doesn't tell time, or a chain that is twisted, you're better off selling your gold jewelry rather than having it repaired. You'd be surprised at the price of jewelry repair these days. Repairing them will cost a lot of money and you will just burn your pocket for something that you might really not like. When you sell gold jewelry that is damaged and broken, you can use the extra money to buy sparkling new jewelry pieces that are brand new.

Reason #5: Your Jewelry Reminds you of Bad Memories.
Do you still have that engagement ring from an old boyfriend who left you at the altar or gold rings from your ex-spouse? To sell jewelry that's associated with unpleasant memories from your past can be very empowering. You will get something of value from the items you would otherwise forget and be able to get started with a new life with some money in your pocket.
