How can I assess the value of a diamond before I sell it?

At Oragold, to assess the value of a diamond before selling it, we recommend considering its key characteristics: carat weight, color, clarity, and cut. These factors determine the market value of the diamond.

What are the key parameters that determine the price of a diamond?

At ORAGOLD, the key parameters that determine the price of a diamond are the “4 Cs”: Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity. The carat weight indicates the size of the diamond. The cut refers to its shape and brilliance. The color is assessed from white to yellow. Clarity pertains to the presence or absence of internal features or flaws.

Can I sell a diamond without a certificate of authenticity to ORAGOLD?

At Oragold, you can sell diamonds even without a certificate of authenticity. Our experienced gemologists will assess the diamond based on its characteristics, such as weight, color, clarity, and cut, to determine its value. We offer reliable and fair prices, ensuring a satisfactory transaction for our customers.

How does the cut of a diamond affect its value?

At Oragold, the cut of a diamond is a crucial factor in its value, as it determines how well light disperses within the diamond, enhancing its brilliance and beauty. A well-executed cut can maximize the light passing through the diamond, increasing its sparkle and reflection. Thus, diamonds with better cuts typically sell at higher prices.

How is the authenticity of the precious stones you purchase ensured?

The authenticity of the precious stones we purchase is ensured through strict examination by specialized technicians. The quality, clarity, color, and cut of each stone are assessed. Modern technologies and tools are used to confirm authenticity. Additionally, we prefer to work with reliable suppliers who provide certified products.

What other types of precious stones can I sell to ORAGOLD?

At Oragold, we buy a wide variety of precious stones in addition to diamonds. We can appraise rubies, emeralds, sapphires, as well as less commercially popular stones like tourmaline, tanzanite, and aquamarine. Our team of experts evaluates each stone based on its actual value, quality, and rarity, providing you with the best possible price for your precious jewelry.

If I do not have a certificate for the diamond or other precious stone, can you appraise it?

Certificates indicate the characteristics of precious stones, but if you do not have one, it is not a problem, and the stone can be appraised normally.

Do you buy old cut diamonds?

We buy antique cut diamonds, and they often have excellent prices.

How will I receive my payment, and what documents do I need to bring with me?

The payment can be made in cash or via bank transfer. You will need to bring your ID card or passport.

Diamonds

Diamonds are the most recognized precious stone worldwide. Their value is assessed based on the "4Cs": carat weight, clarity, color, and cut. Diamond weight is measured in carats (ct).

Clarity is determined by the presence or absence of internal inclusions, with categories ranging from FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2, to I3. Color is graded on a scale from "D" (colorless) to "Z" (yellowish). The most popular diamond cuts include Round, Princess, Emerald, Oval, Marquise, Pear, Heart, Radiant, Asscher, and Old European Cut, each requiring expert assessment.

While diamonds are typically colorless, there are also colored diamonds, known as "fancy" diamonds, with blue, pink, and yellow being the most commercially valuable due to the presence of specific chemical elements. Diamonds are primarily mined in Russia, Botswana, Canada, and South Africa.

Emeralds

Emeralds are stunning stones, in various shades of green, used to decorate gold jewellery such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings. They belong to the beryl family, with most of the world’s emeralds being mined in Colombia, though Zambia and Brazil also have significant deposits.

Emerald value is mainly determined by weight, origin and clarity. The weight is measured in carats, with larger emeralds commanding higher prices.

Popular emerald cuts include the Emerald Cut, Asscher, Cushion, Oval, Round and Heart, all of which are critical in showcasing the gem's beauty and brilliance. Most emeralds are treated with oils or resins to enhance their appearance, though such treatments can reduce the stone's value.
