Sell Diamond Engagement Ring is a quiet place to start if you are thinking about selling a ring. Most people who arrive here have a ring they have not worn for a while: after an engagement ended, after a divorce, after a loss, or because they want something new. We try to answer the questions they have before they speak to anyone, in plain words and without pressure.
What this site is
Sell Diamond Engagement Ring is an independent referral service, not a buyer, pawnshop or dealer. We do not buy, appraise, grade or test rings, and we do not lend money. When you call or send the form, we connect you with an independent buyer in New York, who makes any offer. Any offer, and any decision to sell, is between you and that buyer.
The line is answered in New York City, and you can call or send the form from anywhere in the US. Asking is free, and you never have to sell.
What the pages here are for
The pages on this site explain how a ring is valued and how to sell one well, wherever you choose to sell it. They are written to be useful whether or not you ever contact us. You will find:
- How a ring splits into its center stone and its setting, and how each is valued: see how to sell a diamond ring.
- The places that buy rings, one by one: where to sell a diamond engagement ring.
- Which place suits which ring: the best place to sell an engagement ring.
- The sale itself, step by step: how to sell an engagement ring.
- Bands and sets: how to sell a wedding ring.
- New York City’s rules for buyers: selling an engagement ring in NYC.
Where the facts come from
We state only what we can point to. Definitions of diamonds, laboratory-grown stones, carats and gold karats come from the FTC’s Guides for the Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter Industries. The grading terms come from GIA. Weights and conversions come from NIST. New York City’s rules for secondhand dealers and pawnbrokers come from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. The Diamond District’s location and history come from the 47th Street Business Improvement District. Tax lines come from the IRS, and the New York law on property handed over in view of a planned marriage from the State’s Civil Rights Law. We have no connection with any of these bodies.
We do not publish prices. Gold and diamond prices change, and a figure for your ring depends on the ring. Where a page explains the arithmetic, it uses placeholders instead of numbers.
What we will never do
- Tell you a price before anyone knows your ring.
- Ask you to send us a ring. This site never handles rings.
- Pass your details to anyone except the independent buyer who can make an offer.
- Pressure you to sell. An offer is only a figure.
If something on this site is wrong or unclear, please tell us through the contact page.
Have a question about your ring? Ask privately. Your details are passed to the independent New York buyer we connect you with.
