If you're thinking of selling a diamond, the most useful thing to know first is how resale works. Here's the honest version, from our Gessner Road counter.
If it's on this list, bring it in. The evaluation is free.
The price you pay at a retail jeweler includes the store's markup, its rent, its advertising and the labor in the setting. When you sell, the stone is valued as a stone. That's why resale offers anywhere are usually well below the original price tag, even for a good diamond.
What holds value best is a natural diamond with a grading report, good color and clarity, and a strong cut. Bring the report if you have it, and we'll show you where your stone lands.
Simple, fast and done in front of you.
Walk in during store hours or book a time. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
We test and weigh each piece in front of you and explain how the offer is put together. No obligation.
Accept the offer and you're paid before you leave. Decline it and you take everything home.
The store is on Gessner Road just north of I-10, convenient from Memorial, the Villages and Katy. Walk in, or book a time if you'd like to go through several pieces.
Directions, parking and everything about the store are on our Houston store page.
For larger stones it can be. For smaller ones, the cost of the report can outweigh the difference it makes. Ask us and we'll give you a straight answer.
Yes. Broken settings and bent prongs don't change the stone itself.
Let us know if a stone is lab-grown. They're valued very differently from natural diamonds.
