Hi all,
We've just added a great new diamond-selling guide for consumers written by independent jewelry appraisers Neil Beaty and David Atlas and edited by John Pollard.
The tutorial, How to Sell Your Diamonds: A Guide for Consumers, outlines five primary sales strategies for consumer sellers.
1. Direct Retail (internet, classifieds, or a friend)
2. Sale via Consignment or Auction through a Jeweler
3. Sale to a Dealer for Immediate Payment
4. Trade in / Trade up
5. Buy-Back
The guide accompanies our Sell Your Diamond system, which we launched late last year.
*Many thanks to Neil Beaty, Dave Atlas, and John Pollard, for creating this tutorial and for their support of Pricescope's knowledge base. We appreciate your contributions!

Selling a diamond: Who are the buyers? What is the reality of the secondary market?
The first step in a diamond sale is to understand exactly what you have. Diamonds are valued using a grading system that’s well-described in the diamond and jewelry tutorials here, but an inconvenient truth is that diamond grading standards vary. Any offer you receive will be based on how the buyer sees the diamond’s grades, so it’s in your best interest to anticipate what those grades will be.
