Are Diamonds A Girls Best Friend?
After she sells it ask her how much she loved the diamond! Jewelers mark up of 500% never leaves anyone happy after they get pricing on selling their stones.
How do you sell a diamond? Go to a reputable buyer. No, a jeweler is not the answer! Some metal recyclers have methods of liquidating stones. They are interested in metals so make sure they buy gems when you call. I find the easiest way to tell if a recycler buys stones is check there web site.
If they are members of the Jewelers Vigilance Committee and GIA then you have yourself a good dealer. Make sure they are reputable and look for testimonials on their site and make sure to talk to the buyer when you call to make an appointment. No appointments no sell! Also, watch out because they may not buy stones less than 1 carat. Stones under .25k are not salable.
