FAQ

Do you buy lab-grown diamonds?

Yes. We evaluate lab-grown diamonds based on specs, report, and current market pricing.

Is an appraisal the same as resale value?

Not usually. Appraisals can reflect replacement cost, while resale offers reflect secondary-market demand and verification.

Can you quote from photos?

We can often provide a preliminary range from clear photos and report details, then confirm in-person.
