How Important is the Brand When Buying/Selling a Ring?
When it comes to selling an engagement ring, the brand does hold weight. Brand equates to quality and value, so it’s definitely a selling point.
If your engagement ring isn’t brand name, though, don’t fret. All engagement rings are unique, and it’s those unique factors that make them special and valuable.

Extremely well known for luxury watches and fine jewelry, this French company is also known for quality engagement rings in classic styles that stun beyond lifetimes. The name “Cartier” has been tied back to classic beauties like Elizabeth Taylor and Kate Middleton.
Did you know that Prince Rainier III gifted Grace Kelly a huge emerald cut Cartier engagement ring? A few years ago, Mary-Kate Olsen was seen with a vintage 4-carat Cartier engagement ring valued at $81,250.
DeBeers
DeBeers is a classic, American diamond company. They made their mark in our history by coining the slogan:
“A Diamond is Forever”. This slogan alone solidified the tradition of a diamond engagement ring as an everlasting and enduring symbol of marriage.
DeBeers greatly influenced the American economy in the 1930s. Although there were tough economic times, they used endless marketing efforts to spur purchases of diamond engagement rings—and it worked. Talk about good branding!
Harry Winston

Harry Winston is an American favorite. The brand gets it value from Harry Winston himself, also known as the King of Diamonds, who is well-known as a jewelry expert and connoisseur. He has an impressive history of importing only the most selective jewels for his pieces with inventive styles throughout the 1930s and 1940s. He adorned celebs and even royals with his fine jewels. Harry Winston is still a very popular and timeless brand. You’ve surely seen some Harry Winston engagement rings in the press. Remember the good times of Bennifer? Ben Affleck briefly gifted Jennifer Lopez a stunning pink diamond Harry Winston engagement ring valued at $1.2 million.
