Carat weight, cut quality, color, and clarity together set a diamond's value. Cut has the biggest visual and price impact.
A GIA or IGI certificate reassures buyers and raises offers. Uncertified stones sell at a discount.
The gold or platinum setting has its own melt value; branded designer settings can add well above metal worth.
Compare local offers on Facebook Marketplace with broader buyer demand on eBay, or use local classifieds where available. Specialist dealers, auction houses, trade-in services, or collectors may suit rare or category-specific items. Fees, shipping, payment risk, and convenience can change the amount you keep.
