Selling Gemstones - Ontario Canada?

monac_3972 asked:


I have some loose gemstones (precious and semi-precious - NOT diamonds) that I want to liquidate, but am unsure of what to do. I live in midwestern Ontario, but will travel as far as Toronto & Durham Region for a good jeweller willing to buy gems.
My question is - Where do I go? Who do I call? Should I have them appraised before I take them anywhere? I do not want to use ebay, or any other online seller, I would rather take the jewels to someone in person.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
