How to sell a diamond ring: the complete guide

Useful documents, assessment criteria and steps for selling a diamond ring directly to a buyer.

Selling a diamond ring is an important decision, often linked to an inheritance or a life change. The first rule is to go to a specialist diamond buyer: gold buyers mainly price the metal and tend to undervalue the stone.

1. Gather your documents

  • Gemological certificate (GIA, HRD or IGI)
  • Original receipt or invoice, if available
  • Valid ID

2. Check the characteristics

Value depends on the 4Cs: carat, colour, clarity and cut. Below 1 carat the resale market is far less liquid, which is why La Diamanteria assesses single stones from 1 carat upwards.

3. Request a quote
