We buy GIA, HRD and IGI certified diamonds, just send us the report number and we can send you a quote. We also buy non-certified diamonds.

Please note, we only purchase diamonds from 1.00ct and above for the centre diamond, whether that’s set in a ring, or other items of jewelry.

The value of your diamond is largely determined by what is known in the trade as the four Cs

CARAT: The weight of the diamond

COLOUR: The whiter the diamond is, the rarer it is, and this drives value higher

CLARITY: The cleaner the diamond is, the higher any valuation will be

CUT: The way in which the stone reflects light, giving it the characteristic diamond sparkle

These factors help our experts determine the highest bid based on current market demand.
