Loose stones and set stones
Sell diamonds and gemstones
A diamond with a laboratory report sells on its grades; one without sells on trust. Either way, the offer should be explained line by line. Describe the stone and receive offers that are.
- Offers explained grade by grade
- Coloured stones assessed by specialists
- Setting metal valued separately, never ignored
Before you sell
Why is the offer lower than the appraisal?
Insurance appraisals state a replacement price at retail. Buyers pay wholesale for stones they need to resell. Read our guide on appraisal value versus offer value for the full picture.
Should I have the stone certified first?
For a diamond above one carat without a report, a GIA or IGI report usually pays for itself. For smaller stones, buyers grade in-house.
Are lab-grown diamonds bought back?
Yes, but at a small fraction of their original price. Their resale market is thin, which is worth knowing before you buy one.
