Sell or Buy Diamonds with Transparent Pricing

Diamond Buying and Selling in Gainesville

If you are selling a diamond from an estate, an upgrade, or a life change in Gainesville, you need an evaluation that considers cut, clarity, color, and carat weight without the pressure of a pawn shop or the uncertainty of a mail-in buyer. Diamonds move through Gainesville frequently, whether as loose stones or set in engagement rings, pendants, earrings, or wedding bands. International Gold Diamond & Watch Exchange  buys and sells diamonds with secure in-store assessments and clear explanations of how value is determined.

The business evaluates loose diamonds and diamond jewelry based on the four Cs and current market conditions, then provides an immediate offer or helps you select a stone if you are buying. Custom work is available for people who want a diamond set in a new design or a pendant made to hold a specific stone. Gainesville's resale diamond market continues to grow as the population turns over and more residents look for local alternatives to retail jewelry stores.

Stop in for a diamond value review and see what your stone is worth in today's market.

How Diamond Evaluations Work in the Showroom

When you bring a diamond into the Gainesville showroom, the evaluation starts with a visual inspection under magnification to assess clarity and check for inclusions, chips, or surface wear. The stone is weighed, and its color is graded against a master set to determine where it falls on the scale. Cut quality is evaluated based on proportions, symmetry, and light performance, all of which affect how the diamond looks in different lighting.

After the evaluation, you receive a transparent offer based on current wholesale and retail demand in North Central Florida. If you are buying, you can review available loose stones or view completed pieces such as engagement rings, pendants, and earrings. Custom work is available if you want a diamond set in a specific design or need a piece made to match an heirloom style.

This service is ideal for people selling diamonds after an estate settlement, upgrading an engagement ring, or moving out of the area. It does not include jewelry repair unless you are adding a stone to an existing piece. The goal is to give you a clear understanding of what your diamond is worth and what options you have in Gainesville.

It Helps to Know What to Expect Before You Visit

Diamond transactions involve high-value items, and most people want to understand the process before they bring in a stone or start shopping for one.

What do I need to bring when selling a diamond?
Bring the diamond itself, whether loose or set in jewelry, along with any grading certificates or appraisals if you have them. Certificates from GIA or AGS help verify the stone's characteristics and improve the offer.
How is the value of a diamond determined?
Value is based on carat weight, cut quality, color grade, and clarity, along with current wholesale demand and whether the stone is certified. Larger stones with better grades and fewer inclusions command higher prices.
What types of diamond jewelry are most common in Gainesville?
Engagement rings, wedding bands, and diamond studs are the most common items brought in for sale or upgrade. Pendants and tennis bracelets also move through the market regularly.
How long does a diamond evaluation take?
Most evaluations are completed within 10 to 15 minutes, including the grading, weighing, and offer discussion. You leave with a clear understanding of the stone's value and what your options are.
Can I have a custom piece made with my diamond?
Yes, custom work is available for rings, pendants, earrings, and other pieces. You can bring in your own diamond or select one from the available inventory and have it set in a design you choose.
