JFK is spot on about the mark up. Pawned or sold jewelery was around 60-70% of the gold value, diamond was not reckoned unless it was big and flawless. Even then a fraction of the real value my parents got from a dealer.

rule of thumb, 10 cents on the dollar you paid retail, if that. For jewellery 1/2 melt or less, you dont pay for stones, or signature, ie signed Tiffany, it could be fake.
