We Buy Diamonds

A diamond's value comes down to the 4Cs, cut, color, clarity, and carat, and the cleanest way for us to pay you a serious price is to start from an independent grading report. As a certified diamond buyer in Northern Virginia, we buy loose diamonds of 1.5 carats and above graded by GIA, IGI, AGS, HRD, or an equivalent internationally recognized lab, evaluating the stone exactly as the certificate states and cross-referencing the live diamond market before we make an offer.

That report is what lets us pay competitively instead of the cautious, lower numbers uncertified stones force. So there is no wasted trip, here is what we do not buy: diamonds under 1.5 carats, uncertified stones, lab-grown diamonds, and stones with certificates from labs we do not recognize.

If your diamond is still mounted, we also buy diamond engagement rings and fine jewelry, paying for the center stone plus the gold or platinum setting at its live metal value. Not sure whether your stone qualifies? Get in touch before you come in and we will tell you in about a minute.

Every evaluation is free, explained in plain terms, and carries no obligation, and because we buy in person you keep your diamond until you accept, with instant payout before you leave rather than mailing a valuable stone away. Bring your certified diamond and its report to any of our four Northern Virginia locations, or find your nearest store, for a fair, expert offer, and if you also have coins or luxury watches to sell, we will appraise those the same visit.
