Choosing a Trusted Diamond Buyer

Cash for your diamonds…might sound easy, but in fact selling is a more complex process. Selling diamonds to top trustworthy buyers is not that easy. While you advertise your diamonds online for example, you are constantly exposed to risks such as underselling your diamond, or facing some sort of fraud. The best thing you can do to find a reliable way of selling? Read this little guide to find out.

Don’t go with direct retail

What does direct retail mean? It is simply when you enlist your diamonds on different online portals and forums and try to sell them. This is not the best way to go, as you do not have any guarantee that you will find a reliable buyer ready to pay what you ask. Also, if you are looking to get cash fast, with direct retail it might take even months until you can find a few truly interested buyers. Don’t waste your time trying to sell highly precious gemstones on forums and online marketplaces. Instead, follow the next step…

Take your diamonds for appraisal

Yes, the best thing you can do is take your diamonds to a reputable jeweler buying company and get a fair appraisal. Even if you have a certification of quality, you still can’t tell exactly how much your diamonds are worth on the current market. You might actually be able to make several thousands in profit, because the value of your diamonds appreciated over time.

An expert jeweler will analyze professionally your diamonds while keeping in mind all important market trends and strategies. With such a professional valuation in your hands, you know the exact value of your diamonds, so you can avoid the risk of underselling. There are just too many ‘sharks’ out there taking advantage of the fact not each seller knows how much their diamonds are worth. This is exactly what you want to avoid.

To sell or not to sell?

The respectable jeweler who offered you the valuation, can also make an offer to you. Jewelers constantly buy and sell diamonds, and if he likes your jewelry he might want to buy. Based on his valuation and appraisal, he can come up with a fair offer for buying. You can take your time to review this offer, and decide whether you want to sell it or keep it and maybe sell your diamond at a later point in the future. The decision is 100% yours, but the most important thing you need to remember is that you should always take your diamonds for professional valuation, and sell them only to trustworthy buyers.

The sale of my diamond has been nothing short of incredible. DBI was fast in their appraisal and notifications of receipt of my item. I would highly recommend them if you are wanting to sell your jewelry. I have had a great experience and can't say enough about the professionalism I received throughout my transaction!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
