Selling to a trusted diamond and jewelry buyer will ensure you receive a fair price for your jewelry and are 100% confident in your decision. Having a trained GIA appraiser evaluate your diamond ring will ensure you receive top dollar and the most value for your ring.

A quick sell to a jewelry store or diamond buyer should yield you close to 50% of the current diamond retail value and the metal weight of the setting/mounting (often times $50-$150) with a little extra for the smaller diamonds (usually less than $100 if the diamonds are small).

To sell a found diamond, you need to know the right platforms. In order to get the best value for your diamond, check out fine jewelry, stores and pawnshops, online marketplaces and auctions, and specialized diamond buyers.

A good quality 1 carat diamond ring costs between $6,500 to $7,500 in retail stores, while the same diamond will cost about $3,000 - $4,000 online! On the other hand, the highest quality 1-carat diamond (D color and Flawless) will set you back $10,000 or more (add 40-70% when purchased at a jewelry store).
