Sell Your Diamond Online for More!
Many people sell their diamond jewelry every day. Some need funds to go towards education, home renovations, or even a vacation. Others inherit antique pieces of jewelry that they don't want to wear and see no point in keeping around, or they may need to divide the proceeds from the sale of the heirloom between a few siblings.
In some cases, diamond jewelry can represent something from one's past that they would rather put behind them. While selling your diamonds may seem lucrative, it's not as simple a transaction as selling gold. While gold has a quantifiable melt value, the resale prices for diamonds do not have just one objective measure, making the whole process overwhelming for those who are not professional gemologists or appraisers.
Here are some tips that will help you sell your diamonds to Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers and get the best possible prices:
KNOW YOUR DIAMOND BEFORE YOU SELL
Markets tend to fluctuate and the demand for certain diamonds fluctuates similarly. So, before you rush out there expecting to make a killing on your rock, you should get an accurate assessment of its quality and value. At Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers, this is the first thing we do when you send us a request to sell your diamonds. All you have to do is submit a brief description of your diamond and our Diamond buyers will calculate its market resale value. This way, we can start off on the right foot and give you a relevant market value estimate before you send it to us for full physical evaluation.
SELLING YOUR DIAMONDS TO A JEWELER NEAR YOU
When you sell your diamond to your local jeweler, you should take into consideration that their buying power as a single buyer, is quite limited. It is likely that you will not be able to maximize your returns when you sell to a local jeweler, or, even more so, a local pawnshop. When you work with Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers, your diamond will be exposed to a vast network of Diamond buyers all over the US as Raiman Rocks will promote your diamond to their network containing thousands of potential diamond buyers. So, when you are searching for diamond buyers or jewelers near you, know that Raiman Rocks Diamond buyers brings the market to you, no matter where you are.
SET REALISTIC PRICE EXPECTATIONS FOR YOUR DIAMOND
Expecting the retail value for your pre-owned diamonds is the fastest way to be disappointed with any final sale. There is a significant difference between retail and resale value that needs to be considered when setting price expectations in a diamond sale. When your diamond arrives at Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers office, it is cleaned, photographed and sent to GIA labs for a grading if needed. The grading and photographs are presented to our network of professional diamond buyers.
CONSIDER HOW FAST YOU WANT THE CASH FOR YOUR DIAMOND
Selling your diamond jewelry on your own can be very time consuming and complicated because you may spend a lot of time filtering through less reliable offers. Platforms like eBay can bring good results, but only if you have previous experience with selling diamonds and a high seller rating. One of the main advantages of selling your diamond through a network like Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers is the time you save. At times, you may be getting paid on the same day. Once you agree on a ball park valuation of your diamond, next, your diamond will be collected by a FedEx courier free of charge and fully bonded and insured and sent to our secure offices for full evaluation and preparation for sale. Once the highest offer is submitted for your approval, you get paid.
CHOOSE A TRUSTWORTHY DIAMOND BUYER
When you sell diamonds, it is crucial that you feel 100% confident with the method you choose. Making sure that your provider has a good Better Business Bureau (BBB) rating and good YELP reviews is a good place to start. Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers has an excellent BBB rating and excellent YELP reviews from satisfied clients. More importantly, we only trust the best in the business to carry out diamond grading, the GIA. By choosing Raiman Rocks Diamond Buyers, you can rest assured that you are selling your diamonds according to US government standards.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE EMOTIONALLY READY TO SELL YOUR DIAMONDS
It is true that to most of us, diamonds represent love and passion, which make them harder to let go of than any other type of jewelry. Due to sentimental value, you may perceive the price of your diamond as higher, but buyers and the market as a whole do not reflect the same sentiment. In a transaction such as this, diamonds are evaluated as a commodity. So, when you feel ready to let go of a symbol that represents something or someone from your past, then you are emotionally ready to sell your diamond and use the money you receive for more relevant purposes.
FACTORS THAT DETERMINE VALUE WHEN YOU SELL DIAMONDS
Diamonds are evaluated based on clarity, cut, color and carat weight, or the "Four Cs".
Carat- Diamond jewelry owners typically know the carat weight of their stone because it refers to its size. The bigger the diamond, the greater the carat weight and value.
Color- Most diamonds are not totally colorless, like the majority of people believe. They usually have hints of yellow or brown. Diamonds that are graded to be completely colorless have higher value. Of course, this doesn’t apply to colored diamonds. They have an evaluation scale of their own.
Clarity- evaluators are looking for a lack of flaws and blemishes on the gem. The fewer the blemishes the diamond has, the higher its value.
Cut- This refers to the diamond’s shape that has been given by the diamond cutter.
