FAQ - Jewellery

The price we offer for your diamond depends on several key factors:

• Certification – If your diamond has a GIA, IGI, HRD, or another reputable certificate, we can offer a higher price because it verifies the stone’s authenticity and quality. Certified stones also protect sellers from undervaluation by buyers with more expertise.
• Modern vs. Old Cut – Older diamonds often require re-cutting before resale, which adds risk and cost. For example, we once re-cut a VVS2 diamond, but it revealed an I1 inclusion during the process, lowering its value. Because of this, we typically offer less for diamonds that need re-cutting.
• Market Conditions – While diamond prices traditionally increased over time, the market has declined in recent years, especially in 2024.
• Forget the Purchase Price – If your diamond was branded, you likely paid extra for marketing, operational costs, and branding, which do not translate into resale value.
• Compare Offers – For high-value diamonds, we always recommend getting multiple offers, as different buyers use different pricing methods.

💡 For the highest value, a modern-cut, GIA-certified diamond is the best option.

When evaluating your jewelry, we first assess its core materials:

• Gold weight
• Main diamond or gemstone
• Small diamonds (melee stones), estimated weight & quality

We then check current gold and diamond prices and base our offer on this data.

If your jewelry is meant for melting, the price is based on its raw materials. However, if we see a beautiful, resellable piece, we may offer more.

💡 Want a better deal? We offer top value for trade-ins, where you exchange old jewelry for new pieces.

When you purchased your jewelry, the price included:
✅ Gold and diamonds
✅ Craftsmanship and labor
✅ Brand marketing and operational costs
✅ Retail markup and seller profits

When selling, only the raw materials matter—not these additional costs. This is why branded jewelry has a higher purchase price but does not always retain the same resale value.
