Whether you want to sell diamond ring in los angeles because you don't wear it anymore or it's just out of style,
you probably want to get as much money as possible. You probably also have a
lot of questions and may be unsure where to start. Before you take your ring to
the first pawn shop you see and take the first offer you get, here are the
answers to some common questions about how to sell a diamond ring that will
give you the information you need to get the best price possible.
Can I Get My Diamond's
Appraised Value?
This is a very common question and most
people believe they can sell diamond jewelry for the appraised value, or very
close to it. Actually, the purpose of an appraisal is to give your jewelry a
value for insurance purposes.
Can I Get Close to
the Purchase Price?
When you buy diamond
jewelry at a jewelry store, it comes with a premium that may be as high as 60%.
When you're preparing to sell the ring, it will most likely be worth much less
than you paid. There isn't actually a set percentage of the purchase price you
will receive as it depends on many factors, including how long ago you bought
the ring, the condition and style and how much over market value you paid.
Where is the Best
Place to Sell Diamond Jewelry?
You may be
overwhelmed by the types of places you can sell diamond jewelry today, from
online auctions and pawn shops to jewelry stores and specialized diamond
buyers. Not all places will get you the best value.

the diamond yourself, you can try losangelesdiamondbuyer.com.
In general, the best place to sell diamond jewelry is with a diamond buyer
certified by GIA. They can evaluate your diamond and give you a fair price.
Do I Need a
Certificate?
Diamond certificates
from an independent and reputable gem lab like GIA can help you get the best
price for your diamond ring. A diamond certificate, or report, contains all
important information about your diamond, such as its carat weight, cut,
clarity and color, as well as the diamond's inclusions.
