What we look at when buying loose diamonds

  • Metal type and karat
  • Diamond or gemstone weight, cut, color and clarity (loupe and tester at the counter)
  • Brand, hallmarks and any certification (GIA, IGI, AGS)
  • Condition and resale demand

What affects your offer

  • Current gold or platinum value of the mounting
  • Center stone size and quality
  • Designer brand and authenticity
  • Whether it's a resellable piece or scrap

Brands & types we see most

  • GIA certified
  • Uncertified stones
  • Melee

What to bring

  • Valid state ID
  • The piece itself (we appraise unmounted and mounted stones)
  • Any GIA/IGI certificates, appraisals, boxes or receipts — they can raise the offer
Offers depend heavily on the stone and the brand. A generic 1/2 ct ring is valued differently than a certified 1 ct or a Tiffany piece — we quote each one individually, in minutes.

Sell vs. pawn your loose diamonds

Many customers pawn engagement rings and family pieces rather than selling — you get cash now and the ring back when you repay. Selling outright pays the most.

FAQ

It depends on current gold or platinum value of the mounting and center stone size and quality. Bring it to our Westland counter and we'll give you a written cash offer in minutes — no obligation.
