    This idea is fine for the initial sale of a piece but what about
    reselling it down the line aways. Say you are clearing out the
    effects of a distant relative after a bereavement - its quite
    unlikely that the bit of paper supplied with the jewellery will
    still be associated with it 20 years from now, especially if that
    jewellery was a favourite piece and was worn a lot. How would you
    know then what the piece was made of and how would you convince a
    potential buyer? 

Best Wishes
