Jewelry Appraisal CenterBrought to you by affordable emerald cut engagement rings. There are many reasons why you may want to sell a Gem that you own. Perhaps you've gotten divorced, or you are strapped for cash. The reasons why don't really matter - getting the best possible price is what counts! The way to obtain the best price for the Diamond Gem is to not be in a rush. Slow down, and carefully consider all of your options - there are many.
First, have the Gem appraised. In fact, have it appraised by two or three jewelers to get an accurate idea of the Gems value. Tell the appraiser that you want the Rapaport Value. This is the wholesale value of the Diamond Gem, and it basically tells you the highest price that you can sell your Diamond for. If your Gem has no certificate, you should consider getting a certificate from GIA. This may help you get a better price for the Diamond Gem as well.
First, try to sell the Diamond Gem yourself, to people you know. Friends and family members may be interested. If you don't have any luck with friends or family members, you should turn to outside sources. Absolutely avoid pawn shops! A pawn shop will only offer you about 10% of what the Diamond Gem is worth! Also avoid offers of selling the ring on consignment. There are many things that can go wrong, and there is no shortage of Diamond scams - even in well known jewelry stores.

If the Diamond is important, you should strongly consider auctioning it off through one of the famous auction houses, such as Christie's or Sotheby's. If it isn't what is considered an 'important' Diamond Gem or a high-end Gem, you should try to sell it to an individual using classified ads, or even eBay. However, selling to an individual that you do not know could put you in danger - especially if the Diamond is worth a lot of money.
Your final option should be a jewelry store. It is vital that you not let your Diamond Gem out of your sight while in the jewelry store - you might find that the Diamond Gem you walked in with is not the same Diamond Gem that you walk out with! The jeweler will try to tell you that your Diamond is of poor quality or low weight. Inevitably, there will be some problem with the Diamond Gem. This is where your appraisal and/or certificate will come in handy.Â
If the jeweler is fair, they will offer you between 60% and 80% of the value of the Rapaport Value. Do not accept anything less than this. Again, do not let the Gem out of your sight until you have been paid for it.

Jewelry hallmarks
Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised. Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.

Sparkling Diamonds The true beauty of the Asscher cut diamond lays in the fact that such a cut helps make a diamond sparkle like no other diamond cut.

Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...
