Tips for Selling Diamonds

A diamond is priced on the stone itself rather than on what the piece cost at retail. Without a grading report the stone has to be inspected in person, which is why paperwork makes such a difference here.


Here is how to get the most for your diamond:

  • Bring the GIA report if you have one. A graded stone can often be quoted quickly; without a report we need to inspect it in person before giving a number.
  • Do not remove the stone from its setting. The mount is valued too, and unsetting at home risks chipping a girdle, which is expensive damage.
  • Clean it gently with warm water and soap, nothing stronger. A clear stone grades more accurately, but ultrasonic cleaners can worsen existing inclusions.
  • Bring the original appraisal or receipt if you kept it. It will not set the price, but it tells us the history of the piece and speeds up the inspection.
  • Mention if the stone is lab-grown. Lab and natural diamonds sit in completely different markets, and it is better established at the start than mid-way through.

Mail-in service is available if you would rather not carry the piece across town, and appointments can be arranged by call, text or WhatsApp.

What Moves a Diamond Offer and What Does Not

Carat weight is the first number people quote, and on its own it moves an offer less than expected. Two 1.20 ct rounds can land far apart once cut, clarity and color are read together.

  • Cut before size - a crisp 0.90 ct round can quote ahead of a deep 1.10 ct that leaks light
  • Old mine and old European cuts - graded harshly by modern standards, yet they trade as antique stones
  • Color in setting - a J or K faces up white in yellow gold, which is why grades surprise owners
  • Melee and halo accents - a ring can hold forty small stones and still come down to the center, each accent sitting below 0.25 ct
  • Signed work - Cartier, Tiffany and Van Cleef pieces go through a separate appraisal for the maker

Strong blue fluorescence catches people out too: it can lift a lower color grade in daylight and still read as a discount.

Selling a Collection, an Estate Box or Loose Parcels

Estate boxes and inherited parcels are read stone by stone, not as one lot. A ring, three loose stones and a tennis bracelet are four evaluations, so a full box runs longer than the 10 to 30 minutes one item takes.

  • Loose stones - leave each in its own parcel paper; tipping them into one bag slows matching stones to reports
  • Matched pairs - keep studs and pear drops together, since a pair reads differently from two single stones
  • Tennis bracelets and eternity bands - the melee line is judged as a run, with the metal holding it
  • Paperwork - keep each GIA report with the piece it belongs to, not in a loose stack
  • Damaged items - bent shanks, single earrings and broken mounts still qualify, so keep them in the box

For a large collection the free insured UPS mail-in covers the whole parcel in one shipment; photos sent ahead by text tell us what is coming.

Selling Your Diamonds in Boston, MA, FAQ

Do you accept all types of diamonds?

We accept natural (earth-mined) diamonds starting from 0.25 carats. If your diamond has a GIA certificate, we can provide an immediate appraisal. If no certificate is available, we will most-likely need to evaluate the diamond in-person to offer a quote.

How do you evaluate the price of diamonds?

Our offers are based on the current market value of diamonds and the specific characteristics of your stone, such as the Four C’s (Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut). For branded diamonds from renowned designers like Cartier, Tiffany, or Van Cleef, we offer a separate appraisal process, taking the brand aspect into account.

How quickly will I receive payment after selling my diamonds?

Payment is immediate. Once we agree on a price and verify your items, you’ll receive cash on the spot. It takes 10-30 minutes to evaluate most diamonds. Certain stones (especially if mounted) might require a bit more time to evaluate. If you send your diamonds by mail, payment is typically issued within 24 hours of receiving and verifying the items.

Are there any additional fees or commissions when selling?

No, we operate transparently. There are no hidden fees or commissions. For items sent by mail, we also offer free prepaid shipping.

Do I need an appointment to sell diamonds for cash in Boston?

Walk-ins are welcome during business hours. If you would prefer to visit outside regular hours, appointments may be available by call, text, or WhatsApp.

What should I bring when selling my diamonds?

Please bring your diamond item and a valid government-issued photo ID. If you have a GIA report, original paperwork, receipts, or any supporting documentation, bring those as well, as they may help speed up the evaluation process.

Do I need a GIA certificate to sell my diamond?

No, a GIA certificate is not always required. However, if your diamond has a GIA grading report, it can help us provide a faster and more accurate initial quote. If there is no certificate, we may need to inspect the diamond in person before making an offer.

How long does an in-person diamond evaluation take?

Many diamond evaluations can be completed in about 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the item. Loose certified diamonds are often faster to review, while mounted stones or more complex pieces may take longer.
