I feel awful for you that you got a check for 27 cents for antique jewelry and a broken wedding ring. I'm glad to hear your story, because I'd actually "considered" trying this--and now I never will after reading all the comments (from everyone). My goodness, how tragic that you got so badly ripped off and the man who took a rock from his driveway and spray-painted it gold received $2 from Cash4Gold. Insanity plus!
I know 2 guys that make their living by purchasing estate jewelry, then selling it at craft shows in the area (Shore Area of New Jersey). They make a BUNDLE! They are always looking for jewelry. They even have some contacts in New York City and they go those people occasionally to see what they have. Find someone like them. I'm sure they would have given you a fair price for inherited jewelry, if it was in good condition--and they thought others out there might be interested in it.
