What is your engagement ring actually worth?
Send us a photograph and whatever details you have. You will have a real figure within three to four working days, with the reasoning behind it, and no obligation of any kind. We are a family diamond house buying for our own inventory, so there is no middleman and no fee taken out of your price.
How we arrive at a figure for your ring
A ring is valued in two parts: the centre diamond, which is almost always where the value sits, and the setting, which is valued by the weight of its metal. Neither has a single fixed price — both move with the trade on the day. Here is what we look at, in the order it matters.
The centre diamond
Carat, color, clarity and cut set the range, and this is where most of your ring’s value lives. Cut is the one most sellers underestimate: two diamonds of identical weight and color can differ substantially on cut alone.
The grading report
A GIA or IGI report lets us price with confidence rather than caution, and usually improves the offer. Most rings reach us without one, which is normal and never a problem — we can still make an offer, and can arrange grading if the diamond warrants it.
The day's trade price
We work from the Rapaport price list and live bids in the trade, the same references a dealer uses when buying from another dealer.
The setting and the metal
Platinum and gold are valued by weight at the day’s metal price, whatever condition the setting is in — a worn or broken mount loses you very little. Branded or period settings can be worth more than their metal, and we will say so if yours is.
One thing worth saying plainly: no buyer pays a retail price. A ring is bought at trade value, and the gap between what it cost in a shop and what it is worth to a buyer today surprises most sellers — the shop’s margin, and often the setting’s design cost, are not recoverable by anyone. We would rather you hear that here than feel it as a disappointment later.
How selling works
- 01 Send us a photo and the details The form below takes a minute. A photograph and a rough carat weight are enough to start. If you still have the certificate or the original receipt, even better, but nothing is essential.
- 02 You get a real figure in three to four working days Not a range designed to get you on the phone: a considered figure with the reasoning attached, and an honest note on anything that would move it up or down once we see the ring.
- 03 We tell you exactly how it works from there This depends on where you are, and we say plainly once we have seen the details. We have partners in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia, and where the piece warrants it we coordinate with them so the ring is inspected close to you rather than posted across the world. Otherwise it comes to our Mumbai office by insured courier, arranged by you, and we tell you exactly how to send it safely.
- 04 You decide, and you are paid The offer is confirmed once the ring has been seen. Accept it and payment goes by bank transfer, in your own currency, with nothing deducted. Decline it and the ring is returned to you insured, with return shipping at your cost.
What we buy
We buy from private owners, not from the trade. Most of what we buy is exactly this: a ring somebody no longer wears.
- An engagement ring, whatever the reason for selling
- A wedding, eternity or anniversary ring
- A ring you are upgrading, or trading up for something larger
- A ring with a chipped or damaged stone — still worth real money
- A piece inherited or passed down, including old cuts
- A loose diamond you own, from 0.30 ct upwards
What we do not buy
Said plainly, to save your time and ours.
- Dealer stock, parcels or trade lots. We buy from private owners only.
- Rough or uncut diamonds, and anything offered from a mine or mining contact.
- Lab-grown diamonds, and stones treated to change their color.
- Any ring or stone you do not personally own, or cannot show you own.
- Offers sent without a photograph, or with photographs taken from the internet.
- Anything requiring payment in cash, in crypto, or to an account in another name.
Before we inspect or pay
We buy pieces with a clear history, and we are required to know who we are buying from. None of this is needed to get a valuation — only before a ring changes hands.
- Photo identification in the name of the person selling.
- Proof of ownership: the original receipt, the grading report, an insurance valuation, or probate papers for an inherited piece.
- A signed declaration that the ring is yours to sell and carries no loan, lien or dispute.
- Payment is made by bank transfer to an account in the seller's own name. We do not pay in cash or to a third party.
If a piece was inherited and the paperwork is long gone, say so. That is ordinary and we will tell you what would satisfy us instead.
Tell us about your ring
Only your name and email are required. Anything you do not know, leave blank, and we will ask if it matters.
- A reply within three to four working days, from a person rather than a template.
- No obligation, and no follow-up chasing if you decide not to sell.
- Your details are never shared, sold or published.
