Second-hand jewellery & watches in Kamloops typically sells for C$9 to C$2,250 (about $7 to $1,600). Carat purity and gemstone quality move the figure enormously, and a plated piece is worth a fraction of a solid one that looks identical. Anything with paperwork behind the stones sells far above the same piece without it.

Buying jewellery & watches in Kamloops
Kamloops sits where two rivers meet in dry, open interior country that is close to semi-desert, and it is a rail and highway hub for the whole region. It calls itself the tournament capital for the volume of sport it hosts, and it has a university and a real ranching hinterland.
Ring sizes and chain lengths are simple to state and surprisingly easy to get wrong, and an alteration afterwards can cost a fair share of the purchase. Trying a piece on before money changes hands avoids that entirely.
What to check in person
Hold a chain up by one end and watch how it hangs, because kinks and stretched links show there rather than flat on a table. WishThrift does not authenticate or test anything, so ask directly for any certificate or receipt and judge the answer.
Collecting it in Kamloops
It fits in a pocket, so the handover is the easy part and the only real question is where. Somewhere busy and public in daylight suits both sides better than either home, and no reasonable seller minds being asked for that.
The city is spread across river valleys and hillsides, so agree the neighbourhood rather than a general area. Driving is essential and the hills mean access is worth checking for anything heavy.

The university clears student housing each spring, and outdoor equipment turns over constantly because the riding, hunting and ski seasons here are all genuinely used rather than aspirational.
Give the ring size, the chain length and the stone dimensions in millimetres, since those are the questions that come first every time. Shoot it against a plain neutral cloth, because a patterned background makes small pieces impossible to judge. Lifts sharply before Christmas and again around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
