How to buy a 3ct solitare at an auction?

September 22nd, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I am interested in buying a 3-4carat diamond solitaire and I wanted to know how to buy it at auction? What auctions sell diamonds online? Thanks!

Unless you have some knowledge about diamonds you can get taken to the cleaners unless the stone has a gemologists statement as to the color, cut, clarity and size. A 3 ct diamond can be of such poor quality( because of color or inclusions )as to make it nearly worthless. You need some serious education as to what to be looking for before you make any offer. Never buy on someones verbal word and always have it checked out by a certified and registered gemologist.

    Why don’t you try looking at what fair market pricing would be for your diamond. Be careful to insure that the whatever diamond you buy is certified by a major gemological lab. Try looking at http://www.pricescope.com to see what they recommend. This is a big jewelry forum that helps diamond buyers from all over the world.

    Good Luck!
