Broken/Damaged Diamond Jewelry—What Do I Do Now?
So you’ve broken or damaged your precious diamond jewelry. Don’t worry, it isn’t the end of the world.
No one likes to see their valuables broken or damaged, but you can always try to get it repaired. If that doesn’t work, you can sell it.
Depending on how badly you want the jewelry intact, you can survey a few jewelers before deciding which giving it in for repairs. However, if you’re not interested in fixing your diamond jewelry, you can get a good amount of money by selling it.
Here’s a quick guide to selling your broken diamond jewelry:
The value of your jewelry is based on the value of the scraps of precious metals that make up the piece and the value of all its gemstones.
An established jeweler will be able to provide a rough estimate of what the gold (or any other metal) on your jewelry is worth. The value of the gemstones—especially diamonds—is slightly harder to determine.
A jeweler will be able to provide you with an estimate for the diamonds too but don’t trust it to be an accurate figure.
Diamond certification
A diamond certification will give you an accurate description of your gemstone which can then be used to determine its monetary value.
A diamond certification is a detailed report containing the specifications on the cut, carat, clarity and color of the diamond.
Different jewelers will have varied opinions about your diamond jewelry but a certification from Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gemological Society (AGS) cannot be contested. These certifications will ensure you’re getting good value for your money.
