Sell Diamonds & Gemstones

Expert Gemstone Valuations at Home

Selling diamonds and gemstones requires specialist knowledge that goes beyond simply weighing precious metals. Our team includes trained gemologists who understand the nuances of colour grading, clarity assessment, and the impact of cut quality on a stone's value. We bring professional equipment to your home and conduct thorough assessments using GIA-standard methodology.

What Makes Gemstones Valuable?

Every gemstone is unique, and its value depends on a combination of factors. For diamonds, the four Cs -- cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight -- determine the price. For coloured stones such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, colour intensity and origin play an even more significant role. Our assessments take all of these factors into account, and we provide a clear explanation of how we arrive at our valuation.

Transparent Pricing You Can Trust

We understand that gemstones often carry sentimental value alongside their monetary worth. That is why we take the time to explain our assessment process and answer any questions you may have. Our valuations are always free, always conducted in your home, and always without obligation. If you have existing certificates or valuations, we are happy to review those alongside our own assessment.

Selling Diamonds With or Without a Certificate

Many people looking to sell diamonds wonder whether they need a GIA or AGS certificate. You do not. While a lab report can speed up the process and provide useful reference points, our gemologists carry the training and portable equipment needed to perform a full diamond valuation independently. We grade cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight on the spot, so you will receive an accurate and fair offer regardless of paperwork. If you do have a certificate, we will gladly use it alongside our own findings. And if your diamond was purchased years ago without grading documentation -- which is extremely common -- that will not reduce the price we offer. The stone speaks for itself. Whether you want to sell your engagement ring after a change of circumstances, sell a diamond ring passed down from a grandparent, or sell loose diamonds inherited from a relative, we assess every piece on its own merits.

What Coloured Gemstones Are Worth

If you want to sell a ruby ring, sell sapphire jewellery, or sell an emerald, each coloured stone has its own grading criteria, and prices can vary enormously depending on origin, colour saturation, and clarity. A fine Burmese ruby or an untreated Kashmir sapphire, for example, can be worth significantly more than a comparable stone from a different source. Colombian emeralds with a deep, vivid green remain highly sought after, while South Sea and Tahitian pearls hold their value well when lustre and surface quality are strong. Tanzanite -- found in only one place on earth -- has become increasingly collectible, and Lightning Ridge black opals continue to attract serious buyers worldwide. Our gemstone valuation process accounts for all of these variables, so you can be confident that the figure we quote reflects what your stone is genuinely worth. If you are unsure whether a coloured stone has real value, book a free home visit and let us take a proper look. There is no cost and no obligation.
