A Trustworthy Way To Sell Loose Diamonds

In order to sell loose diamonds successfully, we make you our top priority. We operate with complete transparency, so you can trust you’ll always know exactly what is going on at any given time. Your priorities are ours. Your time is important, so we keep our auctioning process as streamlined as possible.

Finding buyers is time-consuming and difficult, especially when you don’t know where to begin. Worthy has an existing group of buyers who trust us to sell them quality stones. We actively seek out interested buyers so you don’t have to. Our buyers are willing to pay top dollar for the high standard of quality and reliability Worthy offers, all thanks to clients like you.

At Worthy.com, trust, transparency, and absolute customer satisfaction are our most important values. These values are demonstrated in the completely objective gradings and throughout the entire diamond auction process. We hold a Secondhand Dealer’s License issued by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs and are also accredited by the BBB.

Complimentary Gradings At GIA

When you sell a loose diamond with Worthy, you can be confident that you will get the most the market can offer. We ensure this guarantee by having your diamond graded by GIA prior to the auction.

GIA, or the Gemological Institute of America, is the industry’s leading grading lab that established the diamond grading system and continues to raise industry grading standards. Because they are so well-reputed, a GIA-graded diamond is usually worth more, and diamond buyers are usually willing to pay more for it.

When your diamond arrives at our headquarters, we will photograph it in high-definition then one of our professional handlers will personally deliver it to the GIA labs nearby. When the evaluation is complete, we will pick up your diamond and store it in our highly secure safe for the duration of the auction.

You will also receive a complimentary, printable e-diamond grading report with the option to purchase the hardcopy in the event that a deal is not met.

At the end of the day, our goal is to provide a safe, transparent, and satisfactory experience. The complimentary gradings at GIA are just one of the ways we do this. You also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the knowledge that your valuable diamonds are fully insured, both during transit and while being stored in our ultra-secure facility.

Get The Highest Offer When Selling Loose Diamonds

Loose diamonds, especially large, well-cut examples, are highly prized by many of the professional jewelers and collectors who are part of our buyers network. Many newly mined diamonds are marred by political conflict or are associated with environmental damage, and our buyers have clients who want jewelry made with conflict-free diamonds.

Even in the conflict-free diamond industry, large, high-quality rough diamonds have become more expensive to mine, as well as more difficult to find. The demand for loose diamonds is high despite these problems, ensuring that quality stones remain hot commodities.

What Factors Can Affect The Value Of Loose Diamonds

The amount of money you’ll receive when you sell loose diamonds with Worthy varies greatly depending on a number of factors. These include:

  • Diamond Carat: The larger the stone, the greater the value, in most cases.
  • Diamond Color: Colors vary from colorless to colored; loose colored diamonds have an evaluation scale all their own.
  • Diamond Clarity: The fewer blemishes or flaws it has, the clearer and more valuable a diamond is likely to be.
  • Diamond Cut: A diamond’s shape can make it more valuable, as can the quality of the cut.
  • Diamond Inclusions: Inclusions, or flaws, are not always undesirable. Some inclusions help to identify diamonds, in the same way your fingerprints help to identify you.
  • Diamond Grading: A grading report from GIA or GSI helps to prove authenticity and increase buyer trust.

Don’t worry if you have lost your proof of purchase, don’t know what clarity or color your diamond is, or haven’t had your diamond certified. Worthy’s evaluation process includes independent certification by top gemological experts. We’ll make sure you know all this information about your loose diamonds before putting them up for auction.
