HOW WE VALUE YOUR DIAMOND 

Hoping to sell diamonds in CT? At CT Gold and Silver, one of our buyers will evaluate your diamond based on the ‘Four C’s’, or characteristics. These characteristics are CUT, CLARITY, COLOR, and CARAT WEIGHT.  The CUT of your stone is the most important trait and helps to determine the brilliance of your stone. The CLARITY of your stone is determined by the number of inclusions and how visible they are to the naked eye. The less flaws, the clearer the stone. The COLOR of your diamond is actually determined more by how LITTLE color it has! Diamond color grades run from D-Z, with D being absolutely colorless and of very high value. A diamond’s CARAT WEIGHT is the unit of measure used to determine it’s size – which is actually the weight of the stone against a standardized measurement.
Many customers are unaware of the true value of their stone.  Some of our customers have believed their stone to be worth less than we actually offered.  It is important that you educate yourself before selling your diamond to ANY dealer or broker and are aware of your diamond’s approximate value. CT Gold and Silver will make selling your diamond a pressure-free experience and we strive to provide top dollar for your stone. Selling your stone should be a positive process and CT Gold and Silver wants you to leave our premises knowing that you were NOT taken advantage of. With over 30 years experience in Diamond Buying, we have the expertise needed to evaluate your stone and offer you some of the highest prices in Connecticut. There is a reason we are trusted by thousands of sellers in Connecticut and beyond – give us a call or an email today!
