Diamond Valuation and Pricing

Demond Gems evaluates diamonds based on their carat weight, quality, and other characteristics that influence market value. Loose diamonds are weighed and graded directly, while mounted diamonds are measured to estimate their carat weight and assessed for quality. When applicable, the value of the jewelry’s precious-metal setting is also considered.

The price per carat for melee diamonds varies according to the size and quality of the stones. Demond Gems evaluates melee diamonds using their measurements and quality characteristics to determine an appropriate market-based offer. There is no single fixed per-carat price for every parcel.

The Rapaport Diamond Price List is an industry pricing reference used in evaluating diamonds. Demond Gems considers Rapaport pricing alongside each diamond’s specific quality characteristics and market conditions to determine an appropriate offer. The amount offered varies depending on the individual stone rather than following one fixed percentage.

Demond Gems generally pays approximately 95% of the current gold spot value, based on the gold’s purity (karat) and weight. Because gold prices fluctuate daily, valuations reflect current market conditions at the time of the offer.

No. While grading reports from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) are valuable tools in determining diamond quality and value, certification is not required. With more than 30 years of diamond-industry experience and GIA grading training, Demond Gems can independently evaluate diamonds without existing grading reports and provide an informed offer.

Yes. Demond Gems can provide a preliminary assessment based on information you share about your merchandise, including photographs, descriptions, measurements, and available grading reports. A final offer is determined after the merchandise has been evaluated.

Our goal is to help you understand what you have and what it’s worth. When appropriate, we may also discuss alternative selling options so you can make the most informed and profitable decision for your business. There is never pressure to accept an offer.
