- Local Jewelry Store: Selling to a jewelry store is a fast and easy process, however the store will take a large cut of the value as they are looking to make a profit.

Sell Diamond Necklaces: How Much Is My Diamond Necklace Worth?
It is important to keep in mind that the value given to you by a professional appraiser is not the same as the amount that you will obtain for the pieces of jewelry if you choose to sell. This value on appraisals and insurance documents are inflated and not reflective of what the item is worth at resale.
This is because higher insurance values allow insurance companies to charge high premiums. To obtain an accurate estimation based on the current secondhand market receive an offer your diamond necklace, visit myGemma either in person or online.
Selling Diamond Pendants vs Multi Stone Necklaces
A pendant necklace will typically have one centre stone or a diamond drop feature, whereas a multi-stone necklace will feature several diamonds across the necklace.
When selling a pendant necklace, the value of the necklace will be dependent on the center stone only and (if applicable) the precious metal. When selling a multi-stone necklace, the value will depend on the total carat weight and number of diamonds on the necklace.
This will differ if the jewelry itself is a particularly sought after design or from a luxury brand. The value will also depend on whether the jewelry is antique or vintage. Working with diamond and jewelry experts will help establish the true value of your necklace.
