Why Sell Engagement Rings?

Perhaps you are interested in upgrading your diamond. Maybe you want to let go of the past and move on from a relationship. Or simply free up some cash without taking out loans.

Selling engagement rings to WP Diamonds will ensure you get the maximum return on your diamond engagement ring. We have a team of GIA trained gemologists who will value your diamond. We buy and sell diamonds daily in the international markets, our size means we are able to offer an accurate valuation because we will be recycling the diamonds ourselves; there are no third parties involved. Pawnbrokers, local jewellers, or other online buyers may not have the necessary experience or market knowledge to offer such a competitive price.

How Are Engagement Rings Priced?

 At WP Diamonds, we buy diamonds of 0.5ct and above.

Round diamonds will retain more value than fancy shaped diamonds. If your diamond has a GIA certificate with “Excellent” or “Very Good” cut grade then it could carry up to a 30% premium.


Princess Cut Diamond Engagement Rings are the second most popular shaped diamond. They retain a good second hand value, if you have a certificate then you can send it to help@wpdiamonds.co.uk.

Fancy Shape Diamond Engagement Rings refer to any shape other than round brilliant cuts. Although not as popular as round brilliant, these diamonds can be very pretty and a well proportioned fancy shape can move quickly in the second hand market, therefore holding a good re-sale price.

The centre stone should hold the majority of the value. A certificate generally only covers this centre diamond. The smaller melee diamonds also hold a small value and this will be included in the final offer.

How Much Is My Engagement Ring Worth?

The most important factors in determining the value of your diamond engagement ring are the 4 C’s of the largest diamond:

  • Colour grade
  • Clarity grade
  • Cut grade
  • Carat weight

How To Find Information On My Engagement Ring?

This information can be found on your laboratory certificate and often on jewellers appraisals. If you do not have a certificate or appraisal, a local jeweller can normally provide this free of charge.

What Other Factors Affect Diamond Value?

The 4 C’s are not the only factors that need to be taken into account. Other factors that gemmologists take into consideration when pricing a diamond are:

  • Condition Of The Diamond: The condition of the diamond is important and although diamonds are very hard, this doesn’t mean they can’t get damaged. Engagement rings are subjected to a lot of wear and occasionally get chipped or broken. Any damage will result in the diamond needing to be repaired before it is recycled and this will be reflected in its final value. The proportions of the diamond are very important and reflect on the price of the diamond. For example, a GIA Excellent Cut Grade diamond can carry up to a 30% premium when you come to re-sell. You can learn more about GIA Cut Grade here.
  • Fluorescence Of A Diamond: Another factor to consider is the fluorescence of a diamond. Fluorescence is when a diamond glows when put under an Ultra Violet light. A small percentage of diamonds fluoresce and it is often recorded on a certificate. A diamond with strong or visible fluorescence can reduce the value by up to 25%. Using a buyer, such as WP Diamonds, who are diamond experts and can assess each diamond’s unique characteristics, will get you the very best price for your diamond engagement ring.
  • Certifications: If you have a certificate from the GIA, IGI, or EGL for example, the initial estimate you are given is going to be very close to the final offer. Labs are independent and are experts at grading diamonds. The GIA, for example, is an industry leading Gemological Laboratory. Tell us the information from the cert and we can get you an accurate valuation.
