How it works
Two parts: the metal, then the stone
The setting, on its metal
The ring, mount or chain is weighed and bought on its gold or platinum content at the per-gram rates published on this site, the same rates as every other piece of jewellery we buy.
The stone, after testing
Diamonds are never priced from a photo or a description. Every stone is tested first, and stones of roughly one carat and above may be quoted subject to grading by an independent lab.
Natural stones only
We buy natural diamonds only. We do not buy lab-grown diamonds at any size: there is no resale market for them, so a lab-grown stone adds nothing to an offer however large it is.
Bring the paperwork
If the stone has a certificate, from GIA, IGI or another lab, or the piece has an insurance valuation or the original receipt, bring it or post it with the piece. A certificate tells us the stone’s weight, colour and clarity before it travels, which means a quicker and better-informed conversation. Stones of roughly one carat and above may be quoted subject to grading by an independent lab. The paperwork stays with the piece and comes back with it if you decline.

Guides for what you have
Each guide covers one situation: what we look at, what to send first, and what to expect. The ground rules are the same on every one. The ring or setting is bought on its gold or platinum weight at the published per-gram rates. The stone is quoted separately after inspection.

Questions about selling diamonds
How do you price a diamond ring?
In two parts. The band or setting is weighed and paid on its gold or platinum content at the published per-gram rate for the carat or fineness it tests. The stone is assessed separately: it is tested first, and only then is a figure put on it. We do not quote stones from photos alone.
Do you buy lab-grown diamonds?
No. We buy natural diamonds only. Lab-grown stones have no meaningful resale market, so we do not buy them at any size. The metal in a piece set with a lab-grown stone is still bought at the published rate, and the stone is returned to you.
Should I send the certificate with the piece?
Yes, please. A GIA or IGI certificate, or an insurance valuation, tells us the stone's grading before it travels and makes the first conversation far more useful. Send a photo of it on WhatsApp or through the form, and bring or post the paper itself with the piece. It stays with the piece and comes back with it if you decline.
What if my stone is around a carat or bigger?
Larger stones may be quoted subject to grading by an independent lab. That means we agree a figure conditional on the lab confirming the stone's weight, colour and clarity. You are told before anything is sent away, and nothing proceeds without your say so.
Can I sell a diamond ring by post?
Yes, from any county in Ireland through the free insured Bosca Óir postal pack, with the piece going in whole, stone in. Message us photos on WhatsApp first so we know what is coming. Everything is opened and tested on camera, and anything you decline comes back to you by insured post, free.
Do small diamonds add anything to an offer?
Usually very little. Small stones, the melee set around a centre stone or along the shoulders, have limited resale value however good they look. Most of the value in a typical diamond ring sits in the metal and in the centre stone if it is a reasonable size. We say this plainly so there are no surprises.
