Choose the Right Diamond Buyer for an Effortless, Smooth & Lucrative Transaction

Perhaps the most important thing that you can do if you want everything to go well when selling your diamond is to choose the right diamond buyer. You'll want to choose someone who has experience in the industry and who really knows their stuff about different diamond shapes, quality, etc. You'll also want to work with a diamond buyer who has a good reputation for paying out well for diamonds. If you're in Virginia Beach, the diamond buyer that checks off these boxes is Hilltop Pawn. In Chesapeake, you can visit our sister store, Greenbrier Pawn. We'd love to help you at either store.

Bring Your ID When Selling Diamonds to a Pawn Shop

If you're going to be selling your diamonds to a pawn shop like Hilltop Pawn or Greenbrier Pawn, make sure that you bring your ID to avoid any delays. We are required by law to ask for it, so make sure you have it and that it's not expired when you come in.

Bring Accompanying Paperwork, if Possible

Many people bring us diamonds and don't have any accompanying paperwork at all, so don't worry if you don't -- it's really not a problem at all. However, helping us understand your diamond always helps you out, so if you have your receipt, appraisal paperwork from another jewelry store, the box that the ring came in (particularly with designer brands like Tiffany & Co.) or anything else like that, don't forget to bring it in! It's not necessary at all, but it can still be helpful.

Get a Cash Offer for Your Diamond, Get Paid in Cash

When you come in, simply let one of our associates know that you're interested in selling your diamond, or that you'd at least like to get a quote for it. There's no obligation and it only takes a few minutes. We'll assess your diamond based on color, cut, clarity, and so on, and we'll look at other factors, like any other stones in the piece or what type of precious metal your diamond jewelry is made from. Then, we'll make you a cash offer on the spot, right then and there!

As you can see, selling your diamond is easy when you sell to Hilltop Pawn, so there's nothing to worry about! Stop by today so we can take a look at your diamond and get you paid in cash in no time, or give us a call at 757-769-7254 for more information!
