To sell a diamond it is necessary to know how to estimate the price of the diamond
Do you want to sell a diamond at a good price? To begin with, when evaluating the value of a diamond, several important criteria must be taken into account:
The shape of the diamond cut gives it all its brilliance and its reflective power of light. The cut is defined by its finish, its polish and the symmetry of the diamond. The brilliant cut is today the most popular and in demand.
The degree of purity of the diamond is what indicates whether or not the stone is free of inclusions (impurities, crystallization defects, etc.). The more impurities, the less value the diamond will have.
The weight of the diamond is expressed in carats, 1 carat = 0.20 grams. The carat is divided into 100 points. This means that a 0.50 carat diamond is equal to 50 points, that is half a carat. If the weight of a diamond is evaluated for its value, a diamond of less than 0.50 carats is difficult to negotiate.

The color of the diamond is defined by its intensity and its tint. Colorless diamonds are rare and very expensive. Red diamonds and pink diamonds are extremely rare, even more so than exceptional white stones. The intermediate colors (yellow, black, tan …) are more accessible at the price level.
The value of the diamond for sale is also defined by:
– Its degree of fluorescence.
– Its dimensions (diameter, thickness, height …).
– The date of issuance of your gemological certificate of authenticity.
To sell a diamond, you need its gemological certificate, it is the identity document of the stone. A diamond will be worthless if it is not recognized as such by professionals. The certificate must also be issued by a geological laboratory of international prestige, such as: GIA, HRD, IGI, etc. The term to certify a diamond varies from one laboratory to another, it can range from just 24 hours to several weeks.
And only under these conditions can you sell your diamond at a good price.
