Are existing jewelry designs considered proprietary,sort of like plagerism of existing text in the literary world ,or is jewelry “design” protected only by specific design patents and or trademark names? I see so much of the same designs by different companies ,it seems there are no restrictions.What type of licensing does one need to become a jewelry designer retailer?Is it possible to have a particular gold design manufactured into long” yardage” and then cut to size for rings, bracelets ,earings , etc.Is it OK to use the design of my existing gold band which I adore ,but have it commisioned -adding diamonds ,gemstones earings etc and then sell these items which are a variation of this existing simple gold band?Im pretty sure the original manufacturer has discontinued it.How can I find out for sure ?How can I find out who made it originally, Could I license their original design adding to it ,for my jewelry line? Does any one research jewelry manufacturers? Its 10 years old.Sandie

I have like 4 rings, a necklace and a watch that were given to me by an ex and I’m ready to get rid of them. I just don’t know what to do with them now, and I’m interested in how much pawn shops actually pay you for your jewelry. I’m taking it in tomorrow to see what they say. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Well its a long story- there’s a woman who responded to my add on Facebook marketplace and she wants to give me $380 dollars for a diamond necklace that is not even the greatest quality. I want to do the right thing and give her a good price. Are there any jewelry stores that offer free appraisals? If not, how much could one run for?
