Important Things To Consider
You can request a preliminary quote from us online at sellusyourjewelry.com. You can also request a free EZ Ship box and mail your diamond jewelry to us. Once we receive your items and they are evaluated we’ll contact you with the outright buy price and/or consignment price. The first thing to keep in mind is that the same 4
C’s you paid attention to when buying your diamond are also looked
at when we buy your diamond. These factors are Color
(how white the diamond is), Clarity (the amount of imperfections
or flaws inside the diamond), Cut & proportion (these
determine how the light refracts in the diamond making it either more
brilliant or more dull), and the Carat weight (how large
the diamond is in size). More detailed information on the 4 C’s
is available on our Diamond
Information page. Do you have a diamond certificate or appraisal?
That’s also important when determining the value of your diamond.
What’s the difference? Certificate vs. Appraisal People often don’t know the difference between
a diamond certificate and a diamond appraisal. Certificates, also called
diamond grading reports, are made by a team of gemologists from a reputable
Gemological Laboratory like GIA (Gemological Institute of America).
Certificates include all of the important information about a diamond,
including cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. Certificates are also
only issued for loose diamonds, not mounted ones, and never include a
price. Appraisals, on the other hand, can be done on mounted or loose
diamonds and give the item being appraised a dollar value. Appraisals
are usually used for insurance purposes. What We Buy
