To sell a diamond wedding band, one needs to look beyond the weight of the two carats in the band. The quality of diamond, type of metal, condition of setting, brand name and resale value are all factors that buyers consider when buying a ring.

A properly cooked ring will be more to judge and could get a better offer. Prior to making a call to buyers, find out the number of documents you can, examine the band, and know the details that influence its resale price.

Diamond Quality and Consistency

Buyers consider the cut, color, clarity and overall weight of the diamonds. Frequently, smaller stones are put into wedding bands and thus consistency is the key as the quality of a single stone is not important.

The diamonds are to be of equal sizes, colors and brightness. A band containing significantly varying stones can get a lesser offer, in particular, when it has been repaired and some of the diamonds have been substituted.

Total Carat Weight

The weight of the band total of diamonds in the band is known as the total carat weight. It can appear on original receipt, grading report or appraisal.

A large diamond having a total weight of the same weight would be valued differently to smaller diamonds. Consumers look at the quantity of stones used, the average size of the stones, and their safety in the arrangement.

Metal Type and Purity

The value of the metal of the band also helps in it. Typical materials are 14K or 18K gold, platinum and white gold.

Markings in band include:

• 14K or 585
• 18K or 750
• PT950
• Platinum
• A designer or maker’s stamp

The metal weight is important, however, buyers can also refer to the workmanship and design.

Condition of the Setting

The offer can be diminished by loose stones, prongs that are worn, deep scratches, and bent parts. Before reselling the ring, buyers can decide to deduct its estimated value of fixing the ring.

Repairing or polishing the band should seek professional guidance. Metal can be removed, details, or engraved markings may be altered by heavy polishing. Photographs can often be wiped down simply with a soft cloth.

Brand and Design

A name brand jewelry wedding bands are possibly more valuable than plain rings. Customers can seek distinct marks and serial numbers, original packaging, and paperwork.

When it comes to highly personalized bands, classic designs can be easier to resell. Such features as engravings, strange sizes, or even personal alterations could reduce the potential number of people wanting to purchase them yet remain diamonds and metal.

Documentation and Appraisals

Collect any grading reports, purchase receipts, appraisal, warranty cards and service records. Such documents may assist to verify the ring specifications and provenance.

People planning to sell diamonds online may receive an initial estimate from photographs and documents. However, the final offer usually depends on an in-person inspection and testing of the stones and metal.

Comparing Buyer Offers

When selling jewelry online, you should have comparisons between the ultimate payment and not the rate as stated. Commissions on review, freight expenses, and insurance expenses, authentication expenses and payment schedules.

Ask each buyer:

• Is the shipping fully insured?
• Is the estimate guaranteed?
• Can the offer be declined?
• Are there return fees?
• How soon is the payment issued?

Ask to be presented with an entablature of the offer as often as possible. It becomes easier to understand whether the ring is valued as a whole piece or not, or is it valued on the basis of the diamonds and metal.
