Diamonds USA in Chicago, IL

There are two main types of buyers: traditional in-person buyers and online diamond buyers.

In-person diamond buyers, like jewelers, pawnbrokers and resale shops, make a profit by selling your items. They usually offer only a portion of their estimated resale value, and may decline items that aren’t in good condition.

Online buyers like Diamonds USA are interested in the material value of your diamonds. We don’t have the costs of running a physical store, allowing us to offer higher prices to our customers. We also buy diamonds in any condition and pay you for any other valuable materials.

Because diamonds vary so much in quality and type, determining their value requires professional judgment. A diamond’s value is mainly influenced by what are called the “4 C’s.”

• Cut: shape and faceting
• Color: hue and richness
• Clarity: how many flaws there are (flawed = cloudy; flawless = clear)
• Carat: weight/size

An appraiser can compare this information to current market prices to give an estimated value. The better your diamonds score in these categories, the more you can potentially get for them.
