Selling your Diamonds

FAQ

How do you determine what my jewelry is worth? +

The value of a diamond is primarily derived from the evaluation of 4 characteristics: colour, clarity, cut and carat weight. Metal is weighted separately and priced by type (Gold, Silver, Platinum) and quality (10k, 14k, 18k).

High demand designer jewelry, antique & rare jewelry pieces from renowned jewelers like Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpel, Harry Winston will drive higher prices than the intrinsic value of their component.

Do you pay the same amount stated on my insurance report? +

No. The main purpose of a Jewelry Appraisal is to provide a product description and a high retail replacement value for insurance purpose only.

This does not necessarily reflect the prevailing market price. Also, our offers are based on the wholesale prices for similar items and not the retail price for the end consumer.

How can I make sure I’m getting the best price for my jewelry? +

We strive to have the most competitive prices and encourage potential sellers to seek alternative offers. Our expert diamond buyers have over 30 years of combined professional diamond buying experience and we have one of the most sophisticated gemological laboratories in the country.

Our stellar reputation and unparalleled network of potential buyers insures you get the most for your jewelry. These include diamond wholesalers, jewelry manufacturers, retail jewelers, auction houses and private individuals.

Do you need to remove the diamond from the mounting? +

Only then are we able to properly determine or confirm your diamonds classification. This process is done in front of you in the security and comfort of one of our offices.

Do you buy all types of jewelry even old or broken pieces? +
