Instant Online Diamond Appraisals

There are many diamond buying companies out there, but only few of them are truly reputable. You really need to invest quality time into research to find a company that offers fair valuations and make fair price offers for your diamonds.

If you decided that you want to sell, the next most important step is to get a valuation. You don’t know the exact value of your diamonds given the current industry trends and market fluctuations. This is why you need an appraisal done by an expert jeweler. He is the one who will analyze closely every aspect of your diamond:

  • Its carat weight
  • Its color, cut quality and shape
  • Its value also considering the precious metal it is set in (platinum, white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, etc.)

Before actually taking your diamond for such an appraisal, you are also welcome to use the quick instant diamond appraisal ‘calculators’ available online. You should not rely 100% on the values you will get, but at least you can have some estimates and a few ideas for how much you could sell your diamonds.

These instant online calculators will have you fill out a form with the following details:

  • Select the shape of the diamond- round, emerald, pear, Asscher, radiant or other
  • Then, you will need to appoint the carat weight of the largest diamond on you jewelry piece
  • Then, include the total weight of the diamonds + the total number of diamonds
  • The color grading for your largest diamond (check your diamond certification to obtain this detail)
  • The clarity grading of the largest diamond of  your jewelry (within certification)
  • The type of diamond jewelry you are trying to sell- engagement ring, bracelet, pedant, earrings, or other
  • The diamond setting metal- this is the precious metal your diamond is set in (9k gold, 14k gold, platinum, 18k gold, silver, other)

When accessing such instant online diamond appraisals, the jewelers might ask you to upload the original grading report or diamond appraisal. This will help the jewelers offer you the most accurate valuation and a fair price offer. You are also welcome to use a separate box to include additional information that you might consider relevant for the evaluation process.

After closely reviewing all the details, the jeweler buying company will shortly come up with an offer. This is generally a no obligation quote. It means that you do not have to accept selling your diamonds, unless you fully agree with the offer. This is how an instant online appraisal happens, but you should always choose top reputable diamond buying companies.

I went to local stores, shopped around online, but price Diamond Buyers International gave me couldn’t be beat—and I had the money wired into my bank account that day. I’m truly satisfied with their customer service. DBI is the way to go!

The sale of my diamond has been nothing short of incredible. DBI was fast in their appraisal and notifications of receipt of my item.

My experience with Diamond Buyers International was overwhelmingly positive. Partnering with a reputable business to price and sell my diamond was extremely important to me, and Demitri made me feel immediately at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain how the process works and made himself available to answer all of my questions. Selling my stone was fast and easy, and I definitely feel that I got a fair price for my stone. I highly recommend Diamond Buyers International!

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!

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.

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.

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!
