Upon submitting your items to Meridian Diamond, whether via mail or in person, our expert team of graduate gemologists will assess each of your jewelry items and provide a detailed explanation of the characteristics and features of your diamonds and jewelry.
Our knowledgable experts objectively examine your items for their unique characteristics, and base their offers for immediate payment, on exactly what your item is. This is in comparison to other outlets, such as pawn shops and some retail jewelry operations, that will buy your items generally as lesser qualities than what they see, in order to "hedge" or insure that they will always come out winning in the end. Unfortunately when they win, you are losing.
At Meridian Diamond, we pride ourselves on everyone winning, and in order to win even more for our clients, we spend a great deal of time and efforts on reaching out to the international markets that are currently strongest for your particular jewelry items. These markets have an above average demand for certain items, which is reflected through higher prices, thus allowing us to sell your items for more, and in-turn allowing us to pay you more. A true win-win for all.
Valuing
THE VALUE OF A DIAMOND
The most common factors that play into the value of a diamond are the "4 C's". These "C's" respectively stand for Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut.
While these variables do certainly play a large role in the value, current market trends and supply and demand factors can also have short term effects on the value of particular diamonds or the pieces of jewelry comprised of diamonds, precious metals and potentially other precious gemstones.
Our staff of graduate gemologist and market experts understand the slight variables that can mean large differences in value and look to each diamond or piece of jewelry for its maximum value, while informing the client of the unique characterisitvs of each jewelry item of their and how it effects the value.
