Why Sell Your Engagement Ring?

Circumstances change, people change, and sometimes what was right once isn’t now. There are several reasons for selling an engagement ring — maybe you’re going through a divorce, she said no, or perhaps you have an old family heirloom you simply don’t want or need. Whatever the reason, selling your engagement ring or wedding ring to a reputable diamond buyer can free up cash for other opportunities. Some people even choose to sell diamonds from the setting and use the cash to upgrade their ring. The opportunities are endless but one thing is certain — selling your engagement ring can be a stress-free and rewarding experience.

Where to Sell Engagement Rings for the Most Money

Finding the right buyer for your engagement ring can be tricky. With so many options when it comes to selling like a pawn shop, pawnbroker, eBay, auction houses, Offer Up, local jewelers, and more it can be overwhelming to know which one is the best option for you. It’s important to be cautious when selling a valuable item such as an engagement ring, while there are many selling outlets to consider, not all will provide the same value. For more insight on how to determine whether or not a selling outlet is right for you check out our blog post: Where should I sell my jewelry?

  • Megan was great! She showed me a beautiful piece online and had everything ready to go prior to my arrival. I wanted to make a small adjustment to the chain and she handled it without issue. Beautiful necklace I gifted to myself.

  • Ampi was a total GEM. She listened, was helpful, and never hesitated to show me a single piece. She truly made the experience lovely and fun! We also got to meet with Keith, and hear about how he got into the Diamond business. He is such a neat gentleman. 10/10 experience and can’t wait to go back.

    I was very happy with my interaction. I inquired about a piece online and got pictures from Sarah of their availability within 24 hours via text. I was able to make my way to the store and Leon kindly showed me the piece I was looking for, I even had a few of the stores folks try it, since it is a gift. Within 30 minutes I walked out with my purchase. Leon was extremely patient while I FaceTime my family to show it and worked with me on my budget!

    I recently sold my engagement ring to Diamond Buyers and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From start to finish, the process was easy and straightforward. The team at Diamond Buyers was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they provided me with a fair and competitive offer for my ring. What I appreciated most about Diamond Buyers was their transparency and honesty. They took the time to explain the grading process and the value of my diamond, which gave me confidence in the offer they presented to me. They also gave me the option to watch as they evaluated my diamond, which was a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend Diamond Buyers to anyone looking to sell their diamond jewelry. They provided me with a hassle-free and positive experience, and I was able to walk away with cash in hand. Thank you, Diamond Buyers!
