What shapes the offer

Certificate
GIA or other laboratory papers support a stronger offer. An uncertified stone is still bought, assessed in-house.
The 4 Cs
Cut, colour, clarity and carat, graded in front of you rather than taken from the receipt.
The setting
The metal of the ring is weighed and valued too. Sell the piece whole or the stone alone.
The market
Priced against the current market for that stone, not the retail price paid for it.

Questions we are asked

Do you buy uncertified diamonds?
Yes. A certificate helps, but we grade the stone ourselves. Bring whatever paperwork you have, or none at all.
Can I get a quote from my valuation certificate?
An indicative figure, yes. Email a copy and we will respond within one business day. A final offer is made with the stone in hand.
Will I get what I paid at retail?
No. A retail or insurance value includes design, branding, margin and VAT. We pay the stone and the metal what they are worth today, and we explain the difference openly.
Is the process discreet?
Completely. A private appointment at our Illovo offices, a home visit by arrangement, or a courier collection with courier fees and transit insurance for your account. Nothing is discussed outside the room.
