MOST POPULAR DIAMOND ITEMS

“The Dallas market is particularly strong with a high demand for not only round stones, but cushion and oval diamonds. In terms of color and clarity, H color and SI1 clarity stones were the most highly sold. These are not the only items Dallasites are looking to sell. Both Tiffany jewelry and Omega watches were also very popular as a resell item in DFW.”
WHERE TO SELL YOUR JEWELRY
It is a great time to sell diamonds in Dallas and with so many people looking to sell their diamond jewelry- what is the best option? Texas has plenty of options to choose from when it comes to selling your stones. Looking locally may seem like the best and most convenient option, WP Diamonds provides you with a list of local businesses. However can a local jewelers or pawn-broker really offer you the best value?
The difficulty with selling to local jewelers or pawnbrokers lies in their limited purchasing power. They may have a variety of criteria when it comes to buying diamonds, i.e. only accept stones above a certain size, a limited number of cuts etc. It is also worth noting that not all jewelry stores or pawnshops will have the required expertise to properly evaluate your diamond, and, as a small business will not offer the most competitive of prices.
DOCUMENTATION HELP TO SECURE A GOOD PRICING
It is important to hold on to any documentation you have on your diamond jewelry and stones, especially certificates, as this will help you secure the best possible price when it comes to resale. Roger Bauer commented,
“Certified diamonds with a certificate of authenticity always be easier to sell as this provides diamond buyers with all the key information they need
to get an accurate estimate. However, even without a certificate our GIA trained gemologists will be able to get you the best price as they have been trained by the best in the business.â€
The highest offer for your goods will most likely come from whoever has the largest purchasing power. Larger diamond buyers in Dallas such as WP Diamonds have
