Diamonds are not only good investments and treasured possessions, but they are also valuable assets that are waiting to be liquid funds. Before selling your diamond, however, there are factors to consider; one of the most important factors is finding a reputable and trusted buyer. Broff’s Diamond & Loan Co. is a high-valued leader in the industry and the perfect place to sell your diamonds.

Certain Factors That Affect The Value Of Diamonds

Carat Weight: Carat weight greatly impacts the value of a diamond. Carat is measured in the weight of the diamond and not the surface area because the dimensions and size can vary. The size and weight of the diamond do not indicate the quality of the diamond.

Cut Grade: This refers to the dimensions, angles, and measurements of the diamond. The cut grade determines how much light is reflected and the overall brilliance of the diamond. The five cut grades are excellent, very good, good, fair, and poor.

Shape: Shape refers to the make-up or outline of the diamond and affects the overall value of the diamond. Certain shapes like oval, princess, or radiant have preferred dimensions and are more valuable.

Color Grade: White-colored diamonds are graded on a scale of colorless through light color. White diamonds are the most sought after and the more intense the color, the more valuable it is. Fancy-colored diamonds (pink, yellow, etc.) are graded on a different scale.
