What You Need to Consider Before Selling Diamonds in Phoenix All Entries

Do you have old, unused diamond jewelry or a loose diamond that you'd like to part with? You may be considering selling the jewelry for some quick extra cash. But before making that decision, you should know that selling your diamonds for cash is not always the most lucrative solution. There are several factors to consider before you decide to sell your diamond in Phoenix.

Cash Value

Often, when jewelry owners take their diamonds to a jewelry store, they are lucky to get 50 percent of the original purchase price in cash, and offers are frequently significantly less than 50 percent. This is partially because the jewelry is used, of course, but it usually has more to do with the fact that jewelers can buy diamonds in bulk at much lower rates than the retail price you originally paid.

For this very reason, some jewelers won't even offer to buy your diamond jewelry for cash. There is not much incentive for them and they do not want to risk offending potential customers with low offers. But there is another alternative to selling your diamonds in Phoenix.

Consider Trading

While some jewelers may not buy your stones from you for cash, most will be open to trading for credit toward another purchase. A dealer will usually be happy to sell you another item at a reduced retail price, if the dealer can also add your used piece to its inventory. For this reason, a dealer is usually able offer much more value in store credit than they could offer in cash.
