We Buy Diamonds
​JEWELERS, DEALERS AND PUBLIC WELCOME

Where to Sell a Diamond?
Looking to get the most from your Diamond?  You came to the right place.

Known as the Top Diamond and Engagement Ring Buyer in the USA
Selling diamonds can be a tricky, many do not know how the process works.  Often times we hear discouraging stories of someone selling their diamond or colored stone engagement ring for dramatically less than they should have received.  Many jewelers and dealers are not experts or have limited knowledge in diamonds and colored gemstones.  Some just work as middlemen,  Skip the guessing and work with the best.  We are graduate gemologists with awards from GIA for excellence in gemology.  We are the most trusted diamond ring buyers in the industry because of our extensive  experience buying loose and graded diamonds as well as diamond rings and diamond jewelry. We pay top dollar for GIA graded (GIA certified) and name brand jewelry from Cartier, Van Cleef and Arpels, Tiffany, Graff, Harry Winston, Boucheron, and others.

We have handled diamonds over 100 carats in size both rough and polished.  We have brokered some of the rarest diamonds on earth including an over 36 carat fancy vivid blue diamond.  We have been to diamond mines, cutting factories, sorting facilities, polishing centers and so many other places.  


Whether your diamond or gemstone is mounted or unmounted, we buy sizes, clarity grades, and color grades. 
​

Where to sell a diamond?
We are willing to beat any offer for your Diamond ring. Our award winning diamond buying specialist will evaluate your individual diamond and give you the most cash for your diamond ring or diamond jewelry. 
  • The 4 C’s: Color grade, clarity grade, cut grade (or make), and carat weight are just the basic ingredients of determining value for us
  • Certification: Some diamonds and gemstones have certificates and or lab reports.  Some of the lab reports are more reliable than others so knowing if your stone has a certificate can be helpful in determining a value.  Rest assured if your stone does not have a certificate have Graduate Gemologists on staff at all times to determine the exact grade of your stones. If your stone has a GIA (Gemological Institute of America) report often times we are able to give an estimated without even seeing the stone! (not always the case but we will do our best)
  • Condition: What condition is your piece, or center stone in? No matter the condition we will purchase it!
  • Purchase Place: Was your engagement ring purchased from a major brand like Tiffany and Company, Cartier, Graff, VCA etc? or a local jeweler? This will certainly effect the value of a ring.  Two stones of identical grade can be vastly different prices.  We are serious buyers of designer engagement rings of every age and condition.
  • Market conditions: Some diamond shapes are more fashionable than others and because of this we often pay premiums to purchase certain shapes.  Rest assured, many local jewelers will not buy all shaped diamonds however we buy diamonds of any shape, clarity, color, or cut.  We also buy gemstones the same way!

Where to sell a diamond?
When you are ready to sell a diamond, the next step is finding the right buyer. Selecting the best buyer for your diamond is important. It will enable you to achieve the price you want and to sell in a safe and secure manner. The highest estimates do not always guarantee the best final returns as some companies will use estimates for marketing purposes only.  They quote very high prices then upon receipt or inspection lower the price to a lower number than you can get locally.  We are serious, honest, and experienced buyers in purchasing engagement rings.
