About Independent Diamond Appraisers

The diamond industry is an extremely complex one, with many ups and downs and many things you should be careful about. If you are not a regular diamond investor who knows all the intricacies of the business, the best thing you can do is have on your side an independent diamond appraiser. There are many such specialists trained in evaluating diamonds of all types, and they do no have any interest in offering you this/that opinion or persuading you to buy a certain piece of jewelry.

Independent appraisers help you make safe buying decisions.

An independent diamond appraiser will get his fee regardless of the outcome of the evaluation. If you take a diamond to him and after analyzing it he tells it is a fake diamond, he gets paid. You get to return the fake diamond and receive your money back, while being extremely happy you avoided a fraudster. You may take your diamond for an appraisal and he can tell you this particular diamond has X market value. If the seller asked for more money, it is time to start carrying on negotiations - because you found out the real market price of such a diamond, and you cannot be ‘fooled’.

As you can easily notice there are many factors that speak in favor of opting for the services of an independent appraiser when purchasing a diamond. In fact, you can actually obtain a much better price offer, if you will inform the seller that this respective diamond will go through appraisal first before purchasing it. This way, the seller might reconsider his asking price and slide down on the scale to a more reasonable price. Because you cannot be fooled.

Independent means trustworthy

Since diamond appraisers do not take any sort of interest in making you buy or sell the diamond, you can trust their opinion. They will use all their acquired knowledge and skills to offer you a fair market appraisal that you can use as your standard guide whether you buy or sell diamonds.

Especially if you are getting ready to make an investment in a more expensive gemstone, you must have the opinion of an independent appraiser. He will inform you not only about the pricing details, but also about extremely important structural qualities and characteristics of the respective stone (the quality of the cut, its clarity, the color, potential enhancements/fillers, genuineness of the stone, etc.).

When it comes to diamonds, the greatest majority of sellers offer return policies of even up to 4 weeks. This will allow you enough time to find a top reputable independent appraiser and ensure that you have made the right investment. In case you find out that you overpaid for the diamond, or you are not satisfied with its quality characteristics, you have the right to ask for a refund. This is what a safe investment means!

I just want to say thank you for the timely emails letting me know when you received my package, the value of it and when the check will get mailed out. The whole process was quick and done in a way that I was very comfortable with. This was my first time ever doing anything like this, and I am surprisingly happy about the whole process.

My experience with Diamond Buyers International was seamless. The representative I dealt with was very responsive and easy to work with. I talked to several other diamond buyers to ensure I was getting a good price for my stone prior to selling to DBI. I looked at many options and did my research prior to selling my stone. Once I agreed to send in the diamond, I was paid the same day they received it for more than the amount guaranteed. I highly recommend DBI and overall very pleased with our transaction.

Diamond Buyers International was fantastic! At first I was skeptical and worried about sending my diamond ring away to be evaluated, but all the good reviews I read online were 100 percent true. Diamond Buyers was easy, quick and offered me a good price. Demitri was always prompt to keep me updated with emails, and was available to answer questions by phone, as well. If you need to sell jewelry, this is definitely the way to do it.

Diamond Buyers International is honest and fair. The price they gave me was much better than what The Diamond Valet, WP Diamonds, and my local jeweler offered. I will definitely do business with them again!

Wow! What a pleasant surprise! In a field filled with crooks and scam artists, Diamond Buyers International does exactly what they promise to do and they do it in a prompt professional manner. The day they received my diamond, they evaluated it (at the same price quoted over the phone), and in less than 48 hours the money was deposited in my account. The next next time I need to buy or sell jewelry - there's only one place I'm going - Diamond Buyers International!

After having been highly skeptical about using an on-line vendor for such a personal transaction, I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Diamond Buyers International! The representative I dealt with, Demitri , was extremely honest, knowledgeable and most pleasant to work with. I truly felt as though he was with me every step of the way and was always transparent with information, increasingly earning my trust with each level of the process. Every inquiry I had along the way was met with an immediate response and reassurance. After receiving the initial inquiry quote, Diamond Buyers sent me a pre-paid fed ex package and received my items the next day. Upon receipt the certified inspection process from their experts and offer were completed within 24 hours. Having access to a DBI on-line account made it possible for me to track the shipment of my merchandise and each stage of the transaction. In conclusion, I am very happy with my business transaction with Diamond Buyers International and would enthusiastically recommend this company to any of my friends and family.

I was very skeptical using an online merchant to buy my jewerly, but I knew that I wouldn't get very much from a pawn shop or local jeweler. After spending about three hours searching and researching different online buyers, I decided to go with DBI because they had a great reputation online and the reviews I read said they got more money than they expected from DBI. So I gathered up an assortment of jewerly that I no longer wanted, ordered the kit, and quickly sent everything in to DBI once the kit arrived. Within 24 hours I received my jewerly quote and was amazed at the price! It was much more than I thought it would be, and DBI's customer service is great as well! I've gotten a very quick responses to every email I've sent to the company. I will certainly use them again and I highly recommend them!

I am beyond thrilled at how quick and easy it was to sell my diamonds to you. At first, I was hesitant because DBI was an online site, but I read many great reviews about your company. You were great with communication and I never felt like I didn't know what was happening. My estimate was fair and payment was very fast. Thank you so much for the positive experience.
