[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in 2025, even my kids know that jewelry is for emotional value only, and that is also true for respected jewelers' names. [/quote]

Does anyone seriously believe that they will get back anything close to what they pay for jewelry purchased at retail price or slightly discounted?

If you buy Cartier or Van Cleef, you can resell that for very close to retail if not above what you paid.  Those brands raise prices a lot so you can potentially make money.  I think the point of the post is that if you potentially want to resell jewelry after a divorce, you should get these brands that actually do hold resale value much better than some random piece.

Leaving inflation and opportunity cost aside, you are likely not going to actually get back what you paid. Jewelry is a terrible way to make money. I've sold jewelry from these brands before, including very rare pieces (I worked for one of the big auction houses). You usually can't just offload it on Poshmark or Ebay because there are so many fakes. So that leaves selling through a reseller site (like The Real Real), consignment shop, jeweler that does consignment, or (if you have a lot of quality stuff) through an auction house.  In this case, you will lose all the fees they charge sellers, plus it's actually pretty rare for items from these brands, even popular items, to go for retail especially since these places generally discount the item over time.
