Engagement Ring FAQs
Before You Decide To Sell
Can I sell an engagement ring without a certificate?
Yes. A certificate can help confirm the diamond's characteristics, but an initial valuation can begin with clear photos, the hallmark, receipts, and any details you know.
What affects the resale value of an engagement ring?
The diamond's carat weight, cut, colour, clarity, origin, and certificate are important. The setting metal, brand, condition, style, and current buyer demand also influence the resale value.
Can I sell a ring after a divorce or broken engagement?
Yes, if the ring is legally yours to sell. You can keep the enquiry focused on the ring and do not have to share personal circumstances you would rather keep private.
Is an online engagement ring valuation final?
No. It is an initial resale assessment based on the information and images supplied. A final offer can change after the ring, certificate, condition, and ownership are physically verified.
Why is engagement ring resale value lower than the purchase price?
The original retail price may include VAT, store costs, design, marketing, and retail margin. A resale assessment focuses on current secondary-market demand and the value a buyer can recover from the diamond and setting.
