.. I am not put off by the sellers hands included in images as when buying Jewellery I know I am not buying the hand .. for second hand mum and pop sales I do not expect a professional standard of photo staging etc .. but what would be putting many people off is the absence of the gold hallmarks for your gold stuff .. if gold/designer jewellery has no hallmark there is generally something amiss .. read on for a few more tips ..
Also a thorough description of where the gemstone settings are sourced from or cut can help sell gems etc .. I no longer dabble with gemstone reselling but I do believe some of the settings are worthy of more description eg you have a 9ct Gold and Opal Dress ring 274126264542 .. that looks like solid black opal to me (possibly worth a lot more than you are asking) and is a rather large chunk of it or it could just be a doublet or triplet, is it man made or natural? things like that are important, generally a good (knowledgeable) jeweller won't charge too much to let you know what you have in your possession or you can study up and learn a bit more about what you are selling so you can give more information in your descriptions .. eg. generally quality salt water pearls above a certain size fetch a premium price ..
the above mentioned is all important information so buyers can get an idea of what they are buying .. and with jewellery as far as I am concerned you need to use your camera on the macro setting for some of the shots, the closer and bigger and more vivid the images the better .. measurements, dimensions and weights go a long way to securing sales with jewellery .. also much of your jewellery looks to be a few years old .. an accurate/approximate date of production of the item can definitely sway buyers .. many are quite happy to buy vintage jewellery with a nice setting rather than modern man-made/replica/synthetic style stuff, some of the hallmarks may be by sought after jewellers .. HALLMARKS often sell jewellery .. and this is where a knowledgable jeweller can help as he/she should be able to identify most popular hallmarks easily .. otherwise (and I am repeating myself) you need to educate yourself to a standard whereby you know exactly what you are selling so you can flesh out those descriptions and all important popular/specialty keywords ..
It is very important to know what the value of your item is worth .. sounds so simple but with jewellery many factors contributing .. don't just race to the bottom on price as there is other stuff you can try first so careful not to underprice your stuff or just as importantly not to overprice it but that opal ring listing I mentioned is one example of an item that really is scant on description details to the point where I have no idea what it is so have no way of assessing it's value .. get the descriptions right and you may just land on your feet and find yourself servicing a cashed-up, well educated, brisk niche market .. good luck with it ..
