How We Evaluate Diamonds
Verify Authenticity & Certification
We inspect any available certification (e.g., GIA, EGL) and use advanced tools to verify the authenticity and grading of your diamond.
Weigh and Categorise
Once purity is confirmed, we weigh your gold on calibrated digital scales and categorise it by karat to provide a fair and precise valuation.
Market-Based Offer
Based on current diamond market trends and your stone’s characteristics, we provide a fair, obligation-free offer - with no pressure to sell.
Understanding Your Diamonds
Cut
A diamond’s cut determines how well it reflects light. Precise proportions and symmetry enhance sparkle, making the piece truly dazzle.
Color
The less color in a diamond, the higher its value. Colorless stones reflect light better, giving your diamond a brighter, cleaner glow.
Clarity
Clarity reflects the absence of flaws. Higher clarity grades mean fewer inclusions, resulting in cleaner, more brilliant diamonds.
Carat
Carat weight measures the size of a diamond. Larger stones make a stronger visual statement and often command premium value.
