Selling a diamond can be an emotional and confusing experience.

We, at Gem Trading, cannot solve the emotional part (except to lend a sympathetic ear). But we will give you straight talk about selling your diamond, so you can confidently make an informed decision.

Let's Start At The Beginning
If you bought your diamond from a retail jeweler, take a deep breath and prepare yourself. Most diamond-buyers are going to offer you a lot less than you paid, and definitely less than the diamond's appraised value. The offers you receive might surprise you. But as promised, we are going to give you the straight talk about the diamond-buying business. Let's find out where these prices come from.


Where Retail Prices Come From
When you buy a diamond from a retail jeweler, you're buying a stone that has passed through many hands: miners, cutters, distributors, brokers, wholesalers, and finally the retailer. During this journey, the diamond's price practically doubles as the middlemen add their profit markup. The last person, the retailer, has to cover their expenses (paying employees, rent, etc.), adding more markup.


Selling Your Diamond
So, as you can see, when you sell your diamond, all the markups and all taxes (hidden and otherwise) will be deducted from the price you paid. This is where our offer will start.
