Diamond Price Calculator™

It’s an estimate of what a natural diamond with the details you entered is worth, based on current market data. Think of it as a reference point. The value of a specific diamond also depends on things a calculator can’t see, such as cut precision, fluorescence and how the stone looks in person.

The estimate reflects market data for a loose natural diamond. A retail price also covers the setting, certification and service, and an offer reflects the specific stone once it’s examined. Both can reasonably differ from the estimate.

A grading report covers the essentials. Cut precision, proportions, fluorescence, where inclusions sit and which lab graded the stone can each move the price, sometimes by thousands of dollars. Seeing stones side by side is the surest way to understand the difference.

Your diamond’s shape, carat weight, color and clarity. For a closer estimate, open “Show more options” and add the grading lab and the diamond’s proportions grade. You’ll find all of these on the grading report or an appraisal.

No. It’s built for natural diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are priced very differently and have little resale value, so a natural-diamond estimate won’t apply. Our lab-grown diamond guide explains what a fair price looks like.

No. The estimate isn’t our purchase or sale price. Any offer depends on the diamond itself and its grading report, so we look at each stone before making one.

Natural, untreated diamonds of 0.50 carat and larger with a GIA or AGS report: color D to J, clarity Flawless to SI2, Ideal, Excellent or Very Good proportions, and no more than faint fluorescence. Not sure about yours? See our full buying criteria or ask us.

Selling outright is fastest. Consignment draws on our network of qualified private buyers and investors to get the best possible price, with no fee or commission, and your diamond stays fully insured while in our care. We’ll help you weigh the two.

Once we’ve reviewed your diamond and its paperwork and you’ve accepted our offer, we pay promptly by FedEx check or bank wire.

Start with a private valuation. We’ll examine the piece, explain what it’s worth and walk you through your options: keep it, redesign it, sell it or consign it. There’s no pressure to decide that day.

Bring what you have. We’ll review any certificates, appraisals or receipts and guide you through the rest.

Yes. We buy qualifying natural diamonds, offer consignment, and can apply your diamond’s value toward an upgrade. Depending on your stone, you may receive the full value of your previous purchase, or possibly more, toward a new diamond.

GIA grades diamonds independently and consistently, so you can compare stones fairly and trust that the grades on the report match the diamond in front of you.

It depends on what matters most to you. Lab-grown costs far less up front but has little resale value; natural diamonds hold their value better. We offer both and will explain the tradeoffs honestly.

Book a private appointment. A gemologist will examine your diamond and can prepare a formal appraisal for insurance, estate planning or your own records. Learn more about our appraisal services.
