How Much Is My Loose Diamond Worth?
The potential earnings from your loose diamonds or melee depend on various factors. Unlike precious metals, valued primarily by weight and purity, a diamond's worth is influenced by its quality, cut, visual appeal, and market demand for specific features. Additionally, the global diamond wholesale market conditions play a significant role.
A professional evaluation is necessary to determine the exact value of a loose diamond. At White Pine, our expert appraisals are conducted by professionals trained by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), ensuring accurate evaluations and the best possible financial returns.*
How Do We Determine The Value Of Your Loose Diamond
Understanding the value of your loose diamond is crucial before selling it. At White Pine, we assess your diamond's worth using market research, industry-recognised pricing standards, and our extensive experience. We consider the unique characteristics of your diamonds, including the 4 Cs (Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Colour).
1. Carat
A diamond's carat size is determined by its weight, with diamonds of higher carat weight generally being more valuable.
2. Cut
A diamond's cut influences its sparkle and visual appeal, determined by how it is shaped and polished.
3. Clarity
The clarity of a diamond is determined by the number and type of inclusions or flaws it has. Fewer and smaller flaws result in a higher clarity grade.
4. Color
Diamonds are rated on a color scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Diamonds closer to D are generally more valuable.
Is My Diamond Too Small To Sell?
No! Diamonds hold value in various applications, allowing for the sale of both small and large loose diamonds. While jewellers and diamond retailers may prefer larger, visually striking gemstones, White Pine welcomes the purchase of small loose diamonds regardless of size, quality, or visual appeal.
Why Would I Sell Loose Diamonds Online?
Selling your loose diamonds and melee online is a quick and easy way to maximise your return on investment in today's digital age. It offers numerous advantages over selling in person.
Wider and More Knowledgable Network
Local jewellery stores and pawnbrokers often lack the expertise and extensive networks to offer competitive prices for loose diamonds. They typically sell to local buyers and don't have access to national or international markets. In contrast, online diamond and melee buyers can provide more competitive and accurate offers, unhampered by these limitations.
Competitive and Transparent Pricing
Selling loose diamonds and melee online allows you to easily compare offers from multiple buyers. Online diamond buyers usually provide detailed information and cost breakdowns, simplifying the comparison process. To ensure fair pricing, online diamond and melee buyers often use market research and industry-standard pricing guidelines.
Safe and Secure Selling
By using secure methods for handling and delivering diamonds, such as insured and tracked shipments, and secure payment methods, you can protect your loose diamonds and melee when selling online. Additionally, reputable diamond buyers like White Pine have strict privacy policies to safeguard your personal information. We ensure the process is convenient, allowing you to complete it from the comfort of your home and on your schedule.
