Across our publication, The Diamocycle Dispatch, we discuss the many reasons to buy a used engagement ring. Our legacy in diamonds and engagement rings began in 1857, over 164 years ago. We take pride in giving you the best advice we would share with a valued customer. 

1# Buying  A Used Engagement Ring Saves You Money

Engagement Rings go through many channels of mark-ups and are worth considerably less when purchased. By purchasing an engagement ring used, you are letting the first retail buyer pay these mark-ups, and buying pre-owned means saving a significant portion of these mark-up expenses. We like to compare engagement rings to cars; the moment it is driven off the lot, it drops in value. You are saving just like you would be buying a used car by purchasing a used engagement ring in excellent condition. Cars generally do not last a lifetime, but engagement rings can last several lifetimes. 

2# Buying A Used Engagement Ring Gets You a Better Quality Ring

Buying a used engagement ring means getting a luxury used ring for the same price as a new commercial ring. Since used engagement rings depreciate, letting the first buyer pay the depreciation enables you to get a much finer quality engagement ring for the same budget. Buying used means getting a better ring than you thought you could afford. 

3#Buying a Used Engagement Ring is Good For the Environment

Diamond mining is determinantal to ecosystems and hard on the environment. Therefore, buying used means supporting sustainable, environmentally friendly consumer practices. 

4#Busting The Myth Behind Used Engagement Rings

Engagement rings are not tied to the fortunes of their past owners. People are often concerned that a used engagement ring spells doom for their relationship. Having been in the jewelry business for 164 years, our family has seen new rings that had failed marriages and used rings from divorces that had happy marriages. The relationship, not the ring is the foundation of a marriage. Happy and thoughtful relationships lead to happy lives. You can make your own marriage story, and the story of the ring starts with its new owners. 

5#Shopping Online For Used Engagement Ring is Easy and  More Affordable.

Online sellers have a lower overhead than brick-mortar stores. The best places to shop for a used engagement ring are rings for sale by the owner. The two best methods are online auctions and marketplaces for used engagement rings. Online auctions can be an exciting place to shop for a used engagement ring. Our preferred auctions are Sotheby’s for luxury rings and Everything But The House for more affordable options. Sotheby’s charges a hefty buyer premium but gives you access to luxury-used engagement rings. Everything But The House has more affordable used engagement rings. When shopping at an auction, make sure not to focus on winning the auction but to understand at what price you should be paying for a used engagement ring. Remember auction sales are final, and you should expect to pay at least a 20% discount for purchasing a used engagement ring for a final sale price. Our preferred method for buying used engagement rings is the online marketplace for pre-owned rings. 

6# Shopping Online For Used Engagement Rings is Secure.

At Diamocycle, we have an online marketplace for used engagement rings that offer buyers a secure inspected transaction. We have a third-party gem lab check each ring to ensure it matches its listing. The lab supplies you with a diamond appraisal for insurance.
