Across our publication, the Diamocycle Dispatch, we discuss the many ways to sell your diamond ring for cash. This piece outlines where and how to sell a diamond ring for the most cash. Our family legacy in diamonds and jewelry began in 1857, over 164 years ago. We take pride in giving you the advice we would provide a valued customer. 

What gets me more cash selling online or in-person

We never recommend selling a diamond ring for cash in person. Selling in person for cash should be a last resort when you are in dire need of funds. If you have to sell in person, get at least three buyer bids. We suggest avoiding cash for gold stores and pawnshops. Instead, try getting offers from jewelers with long-standing stores that will sell your ring in their case to a retail customer. Many jewelers buy diamond rings for cash and then sell them to wholesalers with better distribution channels. These are the same buyers who would purchase your ring online, so you are cutting out the middle man by selling online. 

What paperwork do I need to sell my diamond ring for cash?

You should have a diamond certificate when selling a diamond ring for cash. It can be helpful if you have a bill of sale or a jewelry appraisal. You will not recover the price of the appraisal when selling a ring for cash. This is because this is the retail insurance replacement amount. The bill of sale and appraisal gives the wholesale buyer confidence that you are the rightful owner of the ring and that it is not stolen. They will have to do their inspection of the ring, and you should not be able to get an accurate quote from this paperwork. A diamond certificate from GIA will help a buyer give you an accurate quote for purchasing a diamond ring for cash. If you do not have the original diamond certificate, the diamond is most likely inscribed on its edge. 

What’s the fastest way to sell my diamond ring for cash?

The fastest way to sell a diamond for cash would be to sell it to a local buyer. We strongly recommend you sell online. Some reputable online buyers can purchase your ring from you within 72 hrs. You should expect to receive a minimum of 20% more money by selling online. You could receive two times more money if you list it in an online marketplace for pre-owned diamond rings. 

How much cash should I get for my diamond ring?

When selling a diamond ring locally for cash, you might recover  20% of the retail cost of the ring. When selling a diamond ring online for immediate payment, you might receive 35% of the retail price of the diamond ring. When selling a diamond ring in an auction, you might receive 30-40% of the retail cost of the ring. Finally, when selling in a marketplace for pre-owned jewelry, you might recover 50-70% of the retail price of the diamond ring.
