Have you ever tried to sell a diamond?

We get calls often from visitors to the Online Store asking what their diamond jewelry would be worth today। This is a very commonly asked question। Diamond jewelry is expensive compared to other and similarly beautiful gemstone jewelry। Therefore we wonder if we are going to spend so much would the value hold? Would I be able to at least redeem my purchase value if needed or in other words - Would it be a good investment? Being able to sell your diamond jewelry even to recoup your prices is a myth! It is not a good idea to buy diamonds and hold them as investment in your portfolio especially in your retirement savings accounts. Reselling diamonds will not return their value.
