Over the past years of the cash for gold boom and gold price increases thousands of people have been selling off their gold for cash trade in and return on their investment. This gold has comprised all sorts of items such as coins, dental gold, gold from semi conductors, and of course jewelry. If the jewelry you were selling contained diamonds then you may have been giving away a great investment to the gold buyers without realizing it.
Don't get us wrong, diamonds do have a great value, but they are not as liquid an asset as gold is in the first place. Diamonds have an intrinsic value which differs depending on the size, quality, color, and cut of the stone. The point we are trying to make is that you should be selling gold jewelry with diamonds to gold buyers who are paying you for your diamonds on top of the gold amount in price. At the very least, if the gold buyer does not understand anything about diamonds or will not pay you extra, you should request to have your diamonds removed from the gold and returned to you, but in reality you should definitely try to find a gold buyer that knows more about both of these.
I went there first and I liked the way I was treated. They explained they needed to test the jewelry to determine which karat type of gold it was and they did this with an electric gold testing machine right in front of me. Next they weighed out the separate karats of each of the gold jewelry to 14 karat, 10 karat, and 18 karat. From there I received an offer that was better than what I calculated on the website. I also sold some of the diamonds that were set in the jewelry but did have them remove stones from a ring that I am going to use in a new piece I want to design.
To get paid for the diamonds in your gold you are going to have to face the same fact as with the diamond jewelry piece in the first place. Most likely, you are not going to be able to sell for the price you originally bought at retail. In this same scenario, the gold will be separated and paid out according to the World Gold Spot Price and the diamonds should most likely be paid out according to their wholesale price. Generally the wholesale price of diamonds is significantly less than the retail but you have to keep this in mind that at least you are making extra cash rather than giving them away for free.
