Items Sold 5.33 Round and 2.52 RoundHow much is your diamond worth?
You may have heard of the “Four Cs” of diamond grading, but how exactly do they affect the amount of cash you’ll get for yours?
We explain below, but keep in mind that there are additional factors we consider that others may not. For example, sometimes a diamond can be re-cut to minimize imperfections, or to a more popular style. In some cases, that re-cut diamond, although it would now have a smaller carat weight, could become more valuable.
That’s just one advantage of selling your diamond to
Diamond Buyers International.
The Four
Cs of diamond grading
CUT
Cutting is what brings a diamond to life, but not all cuts are equal. Diamonds are unique in shape and size, and value is judged by both the shape and quality of the cut. Princess Cut and Brilliant Round Shape are popular choices. Other common shapes include Cushion, Emerald and Asscher. The angles of the facets, as well as the overall symmetry, can impact the value of your diamond.
COLOR
The body color of your diamond is determined by comparing the diamond you send with a set of Master Diamonds. Our gemologist assesses your diamond in your favor against the set of master diamonds. Colors range from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow), with D being the most valuable. Some diamonds—considered “fancy”—defy this scale, and they can be worth more per carat than even a colorless diamond.
CLARITY
The clarity of your diamond is graded using a Gemological Microscope at 10x magnification. This close inspection ensures the greatest and most accurate value. The clarity simply defines how many inclusions or imperfections the gem has.
CARAT WEIGHT
The carat weight of your diamond is measured using state-of the art scales to ensure precision and accuracy. If you have a certificate or diamond appraisal, it will be listed. Typical carat weights vary from .75 to 3.00.
And the Fifth C:
CONFIDENCE
We pride ourselves on awarding every customer a fair and honest appraisal. We will notify you once we have valuated your diamond, and you will be able to log in to our site to view our offer. If you aren't 100% satisfied with our assessment, you have the option of declining our offer, and we will return your valuables, no questions asked.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Believe everything you read on the DBI website! The graph says it all…they provide premium value because they skip the middleman. I was trying to resell a large diamond that had flaws. Yet no brokers or wholesale buyers were willing to provide a reasonable offer except for DBI. If you want professionalism, integrity and value when selling your diamond then contact DBI.

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.

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!

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!
