What Is A Recycled Diamond?

Recycled diamonds are diamonds that are not fresh from the mine. Also known as second-hand diamonds, reclaimed diamonds, pre-owned diamonds or used diamonds. These stones have a plethora of advantages when compared to “new” diamonds.

 

 

What Are The Advantages Of Recycled Diamonds?

1. Good For The Environment

Even the lowest quality stones are capable of being re-cut and repackaged back into the jewelry sector. Recycling diamonds allows the flow of second-hand diamonds back into meaningful jewelry production. This in turn gives a strong ethical rationale by reducing the burden on mining activities and thus lessening environmental impacts. This is something which WP Diamonds, in common with a growing number of jewelers and consumers, takes very seriously.

While lab grown diamonds have gained a reputation as an eco-friendly alternative, they still require vast amounts of energy to produce. Which makes sense as diamonds are formed under immense pressure and heat.

Simply put: recycled diamonds are the most sustainable responsible jewelry purchase. Unlike newly mined diamonds or lab grown diamonds, they have nearly zero environmental impact.

 

2. Big Business

For the record, it is estimated that over 4.5 billion carats (900,000 kgs) of diamond have been extracted from the ground since mining first began. Due to the inherent hardness and durability of diamonds, much of this volume is still in circulation throughout the world. However, the recycled diamond business currently represents less than five per cent of the total diamond industry sales. A situation that WP Diamonds aims to redress.

 

3.  Cost Effective

Pre-owned diamonds are typically far most cost effective than their new counterparts. This is because pre-owned stones do not carry the hefty mark up added on at retail.

 

 

Where To Sell Recycled Diamonds?

Whether you are selling inherited diamond jewelry or a diamond ring after divorce, you will want to get the best price for your diamonds.

Here lies the problem: finding a reliable, responsible and principled company to deal with might appear to be nigh-on impossible. The options are seemingly limited to pawn shops, lengthy auctions or attempting to sell luxury jewelry on platforms such as eBay. That is where WP Diamonds comes in.
