Where Are You Selling Your Diamond?

The first thing that will impact how much you'll be paid for your diamond is who you choose as your diamond and jewelry buyer. There are some jewelry buyers out there who simply try to get away with buying pre-owned diamonds for as cheap as possible, and there are some who don't really understand the value of the diamond they're looking at.

The Four C's of Diamonds

No matter which professional diamond buyer you sell to, there's a good chance they will consider the 4 C's when making an offer. After all, it's the industry standard for assessing the value of your diamond.

Color - Although there are diamonds of other colors -- including black -- the majority of diamonds are colorless or clear. If you have a colorless diamond, the more clear it is, the more it's worth! Clarity - Naturally, when it comes to the value of your diamond, how flawless it is matters. A more flawless diamond won't have the inclusions and blemishes that a lower-quality diamond has, and the value is different because of it. We will carefully assess the quality of the diamond you bring in. Cut - There are a variety of diamond shapes. Some are more complex or involve more waste than others, making them more valuable. Carat Weight​ - Diamonds are weighed in metric carats. A single carat is 0.2 grams, or approximately the weight of a paperclip. Because diamonds are so valuable, even a diamond that is less than one full carat is often worth quite a lot. The average diamond in an engagement ring is just over one carat, but diamonds come in many sizes. In general, the heavier a diamond is, the more money it is worth.

Of course, even if a diamond is on the smaller side, or even if its color and clarity aren't perfect, this does not mean you can't get a great offer on it. Whether it's an old or new diamond, bring it to us, and we'll be happy to pay you on the spot!

How is Diamond Jewelry Valued?

When assessing diamond jewelry pieces, we'll start by valuing any diamonds by looking at the diamond characteristics that are listed above. After all, depending on your jewelry, there's a good chance that the diamond is the most expensive part of your diamond estate jewelry, and we recognize that. However, as a diamond jewelry and diamond ring buyer, we know other things can add to your jewelry's value, too. Precious metals, a unique or rare design, or additional gemstones are all things that will help you get paid more for your diamond jewelry.
