Sell Engagement Ring

Where To Sell An Engagement Ring?

• Sell To A Local Jewelry Store-  Some local jewelry stores buy engagement rings and some do not buy any jewelry.  The best way to determine what a local jewelry store will pay will be to simply walk in there and tell them you would like to get an offer on your ring.  You will not necessarily need any paperwork to do this option because it is the store’s duty as a diamond jewelry buyer to be able to grade the diamond ring on their own.  It is best to shop around with several local diamond buyers to see who is paying the most.
• Sell To A Pawn Shop-  When we work with customers we often hear that pawn stores can sometimes get a bad wrap when selling engagement rings and other types of jewelry.  However, like local jewelry stores, each place will have a different amount to offer.  Some pawn stores will offer more than others so it helps to shop around.
• Sell Yourself On Facebook, Craigslist, etc.- You can list your engagement ring for sale on several different websites and apps yourself.  This is a possibility but selling diamonds and engagement rings is a very tricky industry that requires a lot of trust from all parties involved.  We have all heard bad stories that happened to people who try to sell valuables to complete strangers online.  Most of our clients will trust us to sell their items for them or just sell directly to us.
• Jewelry Consignment Option-  Some companies including Diamond Exchange Online offer a jewelry consignment program to help sell your engagement ring for a small fee (Usually around 20%).  Jewelry consignment will help customers who want to sell get maximum value, however, there is no exact timeframe for when your item might sell.
• Sell Engagement Ring Online-  This is a diamond buying option that we offer at Diamond Exchange Online.  Simply fill out our contact form or call us today to get more information.  When you sell your engagement ring online we can give you estimates over the phone then prepaid insured shipping will be arranged.  Once we inspect the engagement ring we will do a direct deposit into your bank account or we can send you a check.

We Use GIA Grading Standards

When we evaluate diamonds in the process of buying or selling them we always use GIA grading standards on the 4 C’s. GIA is the most trusted and most accurate diamond grading institute in the world. Every time we are deciding the value or the worth of a diamond that has not yet been certified we are always going to grade it based on the way that we assume that GIA would certify the stone. Not every diamond certification company grades diamonds the exact same way and GIA has become the most trusted by diamond worldwide.

If the diamond, jewelry, or engagement ring that you are wanting to sell does not have any type of certification then we will grade it in-store and put a value on it accordingly. Every day we have people that visit our location to buy and sell engagement rings and around 50% of customers that come in do not have any type of paperwork. One of the popular services at Diamond Exchange Houston is our FREE verbal jewelry appraisals. We do offer FREE verbal appraisals on engagement rings. If a customer is needing an official 3rd party GIA gemologist physical appraisal which is often used for obtaining insurance then we often refer people to Ben Bridge of the Jewelry Judge.
