Where to Sell Your Diamond: Finding the Right Buyer

Selling your grandmother's diamond necklace or saying goodbye to your engagement ring can be a tough choice, but when it's time to let go, you want to make sure you get the best deal. So, here we've put together this guide to help you navigate the options and find the best place to sell your diamond. We'll cover everything from getting a fair price to finding a secure way to make the transaction.

Understanding the Diamond Selling Landscape

The diamond selling landscape offers diverse options, each with its own advantages and drawbacks. Let's explore the most common venues:

1. Local Pawn Shops:

Pros: Often the quickest and easiest option, requiring minimal effort. Pawn shops typically offer cash upfront.

Cons: Pawn shops usually don't give you a lot of money for your diamonds. They are more interested in making a quick buck than getting you the best price.

2. Auction Sites:

Pros: You can reach more people who want to buy your stuff, which could mean you get more money for it. You get to choose how much you want to start the bidding at, so you have some say in how much you end up getting.

Cons: Selling your diamond on your own can be a lot of work. You'll need to write up a clear description of your diamond and take high-quality photos. You'll also need to deal with security risks and fraudulent buyers. And don't forget about the fees that come with listing and selling your diamond.

3. Private Buyers:

Pros: You might be able to get a better deal than you would at a pawn shop, especially if the buyer is looking for a diamond with the same features as yours.

Cons: It's tough to find a private buyer you can trust. The whole thing can be confusing and shady.

4. Jewellers:

Pros: Jewelry experts know their stuff when it comes to valuing diamonds. And if you want to trade your diamond for a new piece of jewellery, they might give you a decent deal

Cons: Jewelry stores are mainly interested in making money, so they might not offer the best price you can find. Not all jewellers are willing to pay cash for diamonds, either.

Finding the Perfect Match for Your Needs

Now that you understand the various options, let's delve into the key factors to consider when making your decision:

1. Price:

Market Value: Research the estimated market value of your diamond based on its carat weight, cut, clarity, colour, and any certifications it has. This will give you a benchmark for negotiation.

Offers Received: Compare offers from different buyers to see who is offering the most competitive price. Consider the final net amount after accounting for any fees or commissions.

2. Convenience:

Time: How quickly do you need to sell your diamond? Pawn shops and online marketplaces can offer a fast turnaround while selling privately or to jewellers might take longer.

Effort Involved: Selling online requires creating listings and managing communications with potential buyers. Pawn shops and reputable online diamond buyers typically handle most of the work.

3. Security & Trust:

Reputation: Always research the buyer's reputation before proceeding. Look for online reviews and testimonials, and choose a company with a proven track record.

Security Measures: Reputable online diamond buyers should offer insured shipping and a secure payment process. Choose a company with clear communication regarding their security protocols.

4. Transparency & Communication:

Valuation Process: Understand how the buyer determines the value of your diamond. Reputable sellers should outline their valuation process and provide detailed explanations.

Communication Style: Choose a buyer who is easily reachable and responds promptly to your questions and concerns. Clear communication throughout the process fosters trust.

Best Place to Sell Your Old Diamond Ring!

[bunnys-kisses]

unconventional payment

charles leclerc

cw: no smut, mafia au, au-typical violence, mafia boss!charles, gambling, smoking, blood, scary!charles, forced marriage

basically charles beats the shit out of your fiance for selling you away to get rid of a gambling debt! enjoy!

this bunny runs on tags, comments & reblogs! feed the bunny! (also tell me if you want more of this, i wrote this on a weird whim)

it was very clear that your current fiance had a gambling problem, it start off quite innocent, a few dollars here and there. then it grew to jewellery and eventually the necklace your grandmother gave you went missing. any paycheck he got went down the drain within a few days and you had to stretch your budget to cover for it.

it was at that point you should've packed up your things and left. but you moved with him to monaco to live a nice life. without him, you really had nowhere else to go. so you stayed and watched the money drip away like a leaky tap.

you were furious when you lost your apartment, you snapped your jaws at him like a dog. but what else were you supposed to do. you shoved him and yelled with tears in your eyes. how dare him. how dare this selfish man play you like a fool!

until he told you he could win it all back, but the stakes were higher. not only was your engagement ring on the line, but your hand in marriage too. the highest stake of them all, you.

you dressed nicely for the event at the casino, your hands shook as you got ready. he had pawned most of your nice clothes for cash, and the thought made your blood run cold.

you ended up having to take the bus to the casino because your fiance had sold off his car to pay for his habit. it was at this moment you should've turn away and got the first flight back home. your parents would be happy to see you.

eventually you were seated at the table with your hopes held high. you kept your head high as you sat across the table with the mafia boss that your fiance was tangled up in.

he was handsome, when he spoke, it seemed like he was speaking to you. his voice laid over your shoulders like a heavy blanket. it scared you a little.

you reached for your fiance and said, your voice a little tight, "please. win this." you earned a reassuring nod and a kiss on the roundness of your cheek.

and then he went and lost it, all of it. you held your head high as you looked at this pathetic man you once called a fiance. you said with all the strength in your voice, "congratulations, dear. you have truly fucked me over." and did not break into tears as you felt the strong hand of the boss' bodyguard against your back.

it was only when you were shuffled into the car that you broke down. sobs raked your body as you hunched over in the leather seat of a car that was probably financed by all the money you fiance lost.

the boss got in soon after, his hand in yours. it was far more gentle than you expected from a man who probably killed for fun. his other hand wiped your tears. he sighed, "don't cry, mon petit oiseau."

you sniffled and pulled away from him, with venom in your voice, "how could i not be, i just got sold off like a prize winning hog! so you can what, sell me on the black market!"

the boss looked at you and reached for you, but you pulled away. you made yourself smaller. you pleaded for him to not touch you, so he didn't. he however got closer to you in the backseat on the car and took off his suit jacket and gloves.

he placed the jacket over your shoulders and placed the gloves in your lap. he said in a soft voice, "you hold onto these for a moment." then got out of the car. he softly closed the door behind him.

you heard a noise outside and moved towards the car door that the boss exited out of. you opened the door and near the casino, partially concealed by the wall of the building. it was the boss, holding your fiance to the ground while he punched the living daylights out of him. the sound of his fist hitting your lover's face was disgusting and honestly scared you.

but deep down, a sick part of you liked seeing your bastard of an ex-fiance get beaten down for everything he had done. everything he had done to you.

the boss let go of your fiance when he caught the sight of you. and got back up. he looked down at the other man and gave him a sharp kick in the side before he rolled up his shirt sleeves further. he said, "a man who is willing to sell his woman deserves worse than death. you should be lucky to be alive, but if i see you in my casino ever again."he shook his finger at the other man, "they'll never find you."

both men looked to you and your ex fiance tried to say something, but the boss' voice cut through, "oiseau, close the door. i will be with you in a moment."

you swallowed, you really didn't have options now did you? you closed the door and sat in the back quietly. you shook a little, but exhaled deeply to compose yourself.

you looked to the boss' bodyguard in the front seat. you asked, "does he do this a lot? like, take women as payment."

the bodyguard rolled down the window to exhale his cigarette smoke, "no. usually he just kills them after a while." the man's accent was dutch and he appeared like he had seen this a million times, "if you're worry about him selling you, he won't. you're a little too old for the market."

"seriously!!" you exclaimed.

the bodyguard laughed, "i'm joking. i'm joking! he doesn't work in that field. you're fine. the agreement was your hand in marriage. he can't very well marry you if you're sold off somewhere."

you rested back in the seat, you curled the jacket closer around your shoulders and sighed, "this is insane. this has to be a dream. how did he even know what i looked like? i could've been... hideous!"

the bodyguard flicked the cigarette out the window and shifted in his seat, "oh... you don't know."

you tensed, "what don't i know, mister bodyguard?" as if tonight hadn't rattled you enough.

he looked over his shoulder, those blue eyes of his looked haunting in the low light of the parking lot. he reeked of cigarettes and cologne as he replied, "your fiance a few nights ago showed my boss, me and another gentleman nude photos of you. i could see why my boss and the other man were so willing to jump at the chance to have you all to themselves. honestly, you got the better option. charles is a good man. you were a gamble worth taking in his eyes.

your heart sank, the man you had been with for close to five years had paraded around your nudes to a bunch of mafia strangers? you thought your eyes were going to bug out of your head.

"how many photos?" as if that would make a difference.

the bodyguard shrugged, "i'd say about five, six? it was hard to look away in all honesty. he was also very drunk when he said that you were a fool for letting this go on for so long."

"oh... okay."

you had enough. you opened the door and found the boss still beating the shit out of your fiance. you stepped out with the jacket on your shoulders and his gloves in your hand. you walked towards them.

after everything you gave up to be with him, everything you let be stolen from under your nose. he had the audacity to parade your naked images around like you were some kind of whore. tears stung your eyes once more.

the boss was breathing heavily and your ex-fiance's face was almost unrecognizable. you placed a hand on the boss' shoulder and your words pierced through the cloudiness of his mind.

"honey." you said, you leaned forward to the man and said, "i don't think you should mess up your hands too much. these gloves look expensive and i'd hate for you to get blood all over them." you showed the gloves to the boss.

he looked over to you and the corner of his mouth turned upwards. he pulled away from your fiance, and carefully curled your hand around the gloves, "well then, why don't you take care of them until my hands are healed."

you trembled, he was quite scary up close. you held your voice as you said, "well, then maybe you should stop punching garbage. i'm assuming you have a home to show me, now?"

the boss fully smiled as he gravitated closer to you. away from the other man. he draped an arm over your shoulders and guided you back to the car, "of course, of course." as you walked back, he looked over his shoulder as your ex-fiance and then spat on the ground away from you. your ex fiance better get out of the country fast, or else charles would stick to his word.

back in the car, he draped an arm around you and looked into your eyes. his smile for you held as he said, "you really are something. may i kiss you?"

you felt heat crawl into your face, "you punched the shit out of my fiance and now you want to kiss me?"

he replied, "he wasn't much of a fiance now was he? sold you away like he did all of your valuables. like that necklace."

"he told you about it?"

charles nodded, "all about it. how much it meant to you. how much value was in it. every little detail about the thing. it was honestly so touching that i couldn't bring myself to sell it. now, why don't we go home? i'll give it back to its rightful owner." he moved closer to you, "think of it as a wedding gift. to the future mrs. leclerc."

you licked your lips and said, "you won't take it away?"

he shook his head, "no, no. even if we get a divorce, you have my word that you'll walk away with the necklace. i believe family is important and heirlooms should be kept and not sold away."

you swallowed, "alright then, mister leclec. you may kiss me."

he chuckled and broke out into a boyish grin, "your little fiance wasted such potential." he moved hair out of your eyes, "but don't worry, oiseau, you'll spread your wings and go to new heights with me." then kissed you gently on the lips.

and then into the night, you left your old life behind. thoughts of your ex fiance were pushed into the back of your mind as charles buckled you into the seat and kissed you on the forehead with such a tenderness that it was hard to believe both of his knuckles were covered in blood and bruised. <3

[munson-blurbs]

Wayne Munson has always doubted that he’s done right by his nephew. Sure, the situation is better than Eddie living with his deadbeat dad, but the kid sells drugs and spent an extra two years in high school.

It’s not until you come into the picture that Wayne sees the values he instilled in Eddie.

Like when Eddie brings you to meet Wayne for the first time, holding the door open for you and taking your jacket. You hand a package of Oreos to Wayne, telling him, “Eddie said these are your favorite, so I had to get them.” The three of you sit in the living room, sharing the cookies and swapping stories.

On his birthday, when he comes home to you and Eddie in the little kitchen, putting candles in a homemade cake. “Happy birthday!” you call out in unison, and Wayne can’t help but smile. Eddie lights the candles and you tell Wayne to make a wish. “Besides me moving out,” Eddie teases as Wayne blows out the candles. “You made this?” he asks the two of you. “I baked it, and Eddie put the frosting on,” you say. Wayne hasn’t had a homemade cake in years.

Or when Eddie walks through the door, eyes red and puffy, explaining to his uncle, “We had a fight, but I did that breathing thing you told me about and calmed down. I think we’ll work it out.” He’s referring to the time he was 14, frustrated with a riff he just couldn’t get, and punched a wall so hard he broke his hand. On the way back from the hospital, Wayne told him, “When you feel that angry, you gotta breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Slow and steady. Can’t afford another hospital bill, kid.” He didn’t realize Eddie remembered it after all this time.

The time he gets home from work a little earlier than usual, only to overhear you telling Eddie softly, “'M sorry, Eds. I’m not really in the mood.” Without any hesitation, Eddie says, “Don’t apologize. We can cuddle though, right?” There’s no pressure, no whining or begging. Only Eddie respecting the girl he loves.

The day you and Eddie finally get your own place, boxes loaded into a moving van. Before you leave, you give a neatly wrapped gift to Wayne. “Shouldn’t I be getting you a housewarming present?” he jokes, opening it carefully. It’s a photo of the three of you at last year’s Fourth of July carnival, fireworks in the background. The wooden frame reads Family is Forever. “So you don’t miss us too much,” Eddie teases him. He pulls you both in for a quick hug. The photo sits on his bedside table, where he sees it first thing every morning.

On Eddie’s birthday, Wayne gives him a card with a check inside; not a lot, but a little something. “What’re you gonna spend it on?” he asks, thinking his nephew will cash it and buy something for his van or his precious guitar. But Eddie gives him a shy grin and tells him, “Actually, I’m saving up for an engagement ring. Just wanna get her the best, y’know?”

When you pull Wayne onto the dance floor, feeling beautiful in your white dress, the new Mrs. Munson. Wayne isn’t much of a dancer, but he’s two drinks in and just so damn happy, and he can’t help but shuffle about when the band sings “Twist and Shout.” He also dances with you to a slow song, which is where you whisper to him, “thank you for raising such an incredible man.”

Or during a Sunday dinner, when you and Eddie invite Wayne over and ask him if he prefers to be called “Grandpa” or “Pop-Pop.” Later, he privately asks Eddie if he’s nervous about being a dad, to which he truthfully replies, “A little. But I learned from the best.”

And when Wayne sees Eddie hold his newborn son, he swells with pride. My boy has a boy of his own, he muses incredulously, and then it’s his turn to hold the baby. “So, what do you think?” Eddie asks him, beaming. Wayne pauses for a moment before he answers.

“I think we did all right.”

a summary of the Monaco Tea, creds to the lovely anon who sent me the article <3

btw most of the information on the family was in article one, the latter were more just info on real estate + off shore accounts

again, this info is all coming from the former accountant of the family:

Prince Rainier III was seriously considering changing succession laws so Caroline would be the head of the family and Monaco as he found Albert to be weak. Albert is said to be the "despised member of the clan" who would stutter while speaking to his father. Rainier even looked into what this would mean to the Grimaldi name since Andrea - at the time 17 - obviously carries his father's name (Casiraghi) and not his mother's (Grimaldi). Rainier told the ones carrying the investigation that this was done in case Albert died.

the funds from Albert's state endowment and his private funds would be mixed all the time.

Albert would say yes to essentially everything his family asked for, including a $30 million apartment for Stephanie

Palmero (the accountant) would frequently buy things for the family to keep "their privacy". He bought Charlene's engagement ring and multiple properties for the Grimaldi's in France. He would pay property taxes for those properties and have the family pay him back.

Caroline and Stephanie would frequently make use of and sell family property (Rainier's cars, family jewelry and art, etc) without letting him know, even though they technically belonged to Albert.

Caroline is in charge of the family's castle in Marchais, which he had an issue with as she would always go off budget.

he makes a note to pay attention to Pierre Casiraghi as he is very ambitious and his dealings in real estate could create problems (spoiler alert: it did)

Caroline is said to hate Charlene

the allowance that Charlene, Caroline and Stephanie receive increases constantly, which worried Palmero. As of late, they were: 1,5 million euros for Charlene, 900.000 for Caroline and 800.000 for Stephanie yearly. This follows the family hierarchy.

 Jazmin Grace receives 86,000 dollars per quarter. In February 2010, Palmero had to spend $5,000 “extra for her birthday”. Albert also bought her a $3 million apartment in New York City.

Albert spends almost a million a year funding Nicole Coste's (the mother of Albert's second illegimate child) fashion business. It's all in Alexandre Coste's name as Nicole fears that Charlene might create issues when Albert dies.

loots about Charlene. She frequently demands high sums in cash, her personal chef is $300 a day, she has multiple undocumented people from the Philippines working in her staff, the celebrations for the birth and baptism of the twins was well over half a million euros, in eight years Charlene spent around 15 million euros when she received 7.5 million euros in endowment (the Palace didn't deny this and said that the accountant was simply told to pay the difference with the family's personal funds), she spent 965,000 on a villa in two and a half months, her office decoration cost a million euros, she requested 3 x 300,000 for her brother's house.

Palmero made sure to change Monaco's regency laws so in case something happens to Albert while Jacques is underage Charlene won't be regent. Instead, the principality will be ruled by a regency council.

Albert has a secret apartment in Monaco, bought by one of Palmero's secret companies. He also got rid of problematic photographs of Albert (hinted at blackmail).

there was a whole system for hiding sums used on "special missions". They were labeled DS (for special destinations) and with time were used to pay for an informal intelligence unit that operated within the police force of the principality. They'd collect information on those close to the family and even on politians of the principality. He would also pay journalists to paint a good picture of Monaco while Hollande was president in France and was constantly criticizing tax-havens.

the DS accounts would be used to hide over-budget situations, including budget for the children's nannies and the budget for the wedding.

they were terrified of the Panama papers, as a lot of money laundering funds go through Monaco and the family had accounts on Panamanian banks.

a link between a Russian billionaire and the Monegasque Minister of Justice was revealed in 2017 and the Minister was forced to resign. An investigation was launched by a French judge and there was fears that the palace would be involved: jurisdictional immunity was granted to members of the sovereign family by order. There was rumours that the French judge wanted to hear the Prince as a witness......he was told to leave the principality. He was accused of having, through his “behavior perceived as authoritarian and vexatious”, “endangered the proper functioning of the criminal justice system”.

the real estate market is a big point of collision here and a big focus of article 3. Nothing too interesting to report - Palmero says he tried mingling in the market to break down the monopoly of real estate owners in Monaco (centered around a bestie of the Casiraghi brothers) while Albert claims Palmero had close ties with some of the developers and tried mingling with things that were of interest of the government in order to make money. The real estate issue was what eventually led Palmero to be fired. Palmero and a former laywer of Albert who was his childhood bestfriend and is also now a persona non grata claims that Albert is now fully under the influence of the bestie of the Casiraghi brothers who now controls the real estate in Monaco.

Palmaro is STILL paying property tax on properties he bought for the family!! crazy!!

Palmero detailed a number of off-shore accounts that hold about 250 million euros of the family's fortune including a company created specifically for Charlotte Casiraghi. He passed on the information from that account to Albert's new accountant at a monitored meeting.

Albert's explanation is lowkey....pathetic. He claims he told Palmero to move all of his family's assets from off-shore accounts to Monaco but Palmero never did it and that was that. He claims he was never able to obtain a precise statement on the family assets due to Palmero's secrecy and Albert just trusted him. He claims Palmero would act in his name and refuse to delay his decisions.

@ NFL wag, you’re gonna have to start stashing some

Money to the side in another account. Take things and sell online and pocket the money. An engagement ring is a dowry so definitely secure that before confronting him and breaking things off. Be specific with the ring, make sure it’s of utmost clarity (no lab diamonds or Moissanite) so you can get the most in return for it. In the meantime, use his funds also to fund a beauty business. Going freelance in beauty could be the quickest way to some money. Have him pay for your schooling (school should take several months) or some certificates at least so you can earn quick cash when you’re done with him too. You can even get him to invest in a hair selling business. Don’t stay any longer than you need too because your health is at risk

all of this

[winnie-the-monster]

“Your whole year off plan, it’s lazy, it’s selfish and it’s gonna piss a whole lot of people off. So nice job.”

“Thank you.”

“What are you gonna do for cash, man. I mean rich kids they have a trust fund. All you have are some poorly assembled model airplanes.”

“I melted those.”

“I guess if I have to work it’s not a year off. I guess I have to sell something. Guys what do I have that’s worth any money? Oh, Donna I can sell your engagement ring.”

“She’s going to kill him.”

“Fez, get out of the swing zone.”

“I got ten bucks on the girl. And I mean Donna.”

“Actually I have no problem with you selling it.”

“Donna, you are so amazing. I swear if I created you in a laboratory you could not say more perfect things.”

Discover the True Worth of Your Diamonds: A Guide to Evaluating Diamond Jewellery

Find out the actual value of diamonds, including the most important factors to consider when selling jewellery. The Real Value of Diamonds: More Than Just Jewels. The value of diamonds has soared over time, with several factors influencing its price rise. What Is the Real Value Of A Diamond? Many people often misunderstand the actual value of diamonds.

What Qualities Make a Diamond Valuable?Diamonds have been considered a symbol of luxury and wealth for centuries. Their unique properties, such as brilliance, hardness, and rarity, have made them highly sought after. But not all diamonds are created equal, and understanding the qualities that make a diamond valuable is essential when evaluating a piece of diamond jewelry. The evaluation of a diamond's value is based on the Four Cs, which are the key factors in determining a diamond's quality and worth. The Four Cs are:

Cut: The cut of a diamond refers to the angles, proportions, and symmetry of the stone and how well it has been cut to maximise its light performance and overall beauty. A well-cut diamond will have maximum brightness, fire, and scintillation.

Clarity: Clarity refers to internal and external blemishes and inclusions within the diamond. The fewer and smaller the blemishes and inclusions, the higher the clarity and the more valuable the diamond is.

Carat Weight: Carat weight refers to the size of the diamond and is a measure of its weight, not its size. Larger diamonds are generally more valuable than smaller diamonds of equal quality.

Colour: The presence of colour in a diamond can lower its value. The most valuable diamonds are completely colourless, rated on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown).

By considering these Four Cs, you can understand the quality and worth of a diamond. It's important to note that while the Four Cs are the standard for evaluating diamond value, other factors can also impact a diamond's worth, such as its origin, certification, and demand.

Additionally, the origin of the diamond and any certifications it may have, such as a grading report from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), can also impact its value.

How to Grade a Diamond's Cut and Clarity

Grading the cut and clarity of a diamond is crucial in determining its value.

 A diamond's cut refers to its shape, the precision of its angles, and the symmetry of its facets. How a diamond reflects light can greatly impact its overall beauty and sparkle, which is what the cut grade aims to assess. The cut grading scale for diamonds ranges from Excellent to Poor, with Excellent being the highest possible grade. It is important to note that diamonds with higher cut grades are typically more valuable due to their exceptional light reflection properties.

The clarity of a diamond is another critical factor in determining its value. This refers to the presence of any internal inclusions or external blemishes on the diamond's surface. The clarity grading scale ranges from Flawless to Included, with Flawless being the highest grade and indicating that the diamond has no visible inclusions or blemishes. Diamonds with higher clarity grades are generally more valuable because they have fewer imperfections and thus have a more visually appealing appearance.

The Impact of Colour on the Value of Your Diamonds

The colour of a diamond plays a significant role in determining its value. Completely colourless diamonds are considered to be the most valuable, with a premium placed on their rarity and exceptional clarity. On the other hand, diamonds that exhibit a yellow or brown tint are typically less valuable as they are more commonly found and less sought after.

However, diamonds that come in rare and vibrant colours, such as pink, blue, or green, are often considered even more valuable than their colourless counterparts. These "fancy coloured diamonds" are highly sought after for their unique and striking appearance and are often considered to be a symbol of wealth and luxury.

The diamond colour grading scale is used by industry experts to determine a diamond's exact hue and assign it a value. The scale ranges from D, representing a completely colourless diamond, to Z, which signifies a diamond with a light yellow or brown tint. The closer a diamond is to the D end of the scale, the more valuable it will likely be.

Discover the Carat Weight of Your Diamonds:

The carat weight of a diamond is an important factor that is used to determine its size and, to some extent, its value. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams, and the weight of a diamond is often used as a rough indication of its size. In general, larger diamonds tend to be more valuable, as they are rarer and more eye-catching than smaller stones.

However, it's important to remember that the carat weight of a diamond is just one of several factors that determine its value. A diamond's cut, clarity, and colour also play a crucial role in determining its worth, and a smaller diamond with excellent grades in these categories can often be more valuable than a larger diamond with poor grades.

For example, a diamond with a high degree of clarity and a precisely cut and symmetrical shape will reflect light in an attractive and sparkling way, making it appear larger and more valuable, even if it is smaller in size. On the other hand, a larger diamond with visible inclusions and a poorly executed cut can appear dull and unappealing and may be less valuable even though it has a larger carat weight.

In short, the carat weight of a diamond is an important factor to consider, but it should not be the only one. When evaluating the value of a diamond, it's essential to consider all its grades in the categories of cut, clarity, and color.

What Are the Different Types of Settings for Your Diamond Jewellery?

There are many different types of settings for diamond jewelry, and each has its own unique look and feel. Some popular settings include:

Bezel setting: This type of setting encases the diamond in metal, offering a secure and protective setting.

Claw setting: This type of setting holds the diamond in place with metal claws.

Pave setting: This type of setting uses small diamonds set closely together to create a glittering surface.

What is the Best Way To Insure Your Valuable Jewellery?

Insuring your valuable jewellery is essential to protect it against loss or damage.
