Sell Your Radiant Cut Diamond Engagement Ring in Virginia Beach

How Much Can I Sell My Radiant Cut Diamond Engagement Ring For?

You may be looking forward to selling your fancy shape diamond ring, but you may still have a question in mind: Just how much will I get for my radiant cut diamond engagement ring? The answer really varies. One radiant cut diamond engagement ring might be much more valuable than another because of the quality or size of the diamond, for example. The best way to get an answer is to bring your ring to Hilltop Pawn. In no time, you'll have an answer.

 

What's the Condition of Your Diamond Ring?

If you bring in a perfect piece of jewelry that's in excellent condition, you can get a higher offer. Even if your radiant cut engagement ring isn't in wearable condition, or even if it has wear and tear, it does still have value at Hilltop Pawn. After all, the main stone, accompanying stones, and precious metals of your ring have value, no matter the condition.

 

The 4 C's of Diamonds

The 4 C's of diamonds are the primary things that diamond experts look at when valuing diamond jewelry. The first C refers to cut; with your ring, this would be the radiant cut. The cut of a diamond does impact its value; for example, round brilliants are more valuable than radiant cut diamonds. Radiant cut diamonds are quite valuable, too, so if you have a radiant cut diamond as the center diamond in your engagement ring, you can get paid here.

 

The second C refers to the color of the diamond. With colorless diamonds, it might not seem like there is much difference -- or any difference at all -- in their color. However, this is not the case at all! Diamonds range from being icy white colorless, all the way to being light yellow, with a range of colors in-between. It's not always easy to tell the color of a diamond with the naked eye, particularly when you don't have other diamonds to compare it to. The more colorless your diamond is, the more valuable it will be.

 

The third C of diamonds refers to the clarity of your diamond. This is a big one. We look for inclusions and imperfections in your diamond, using special tools, since these imperfections are sometimes difficult or impossible to see with the naked eye. As you can probably imagine, the more flawless your diamond is, the more it is worth.

 

Lastly, the fourth C of diamonds is the carat weight. In general, larger diamonds are worth more than smaller ones. Of course, the other four C's do have an impact. However, carat weight does heavily impact the value of your diamond, and your ring overall.

 

Other Gemstones

Some engagement rings feature multiple stones. Your ring might have a large, radiant cut center stone, but it might have accompanying diamonds. It may even feature colorful gemstones that are also valuable, such as emeralds or rubies. Even though we are diamond experts, we won't just look at the value of the diamonds in your setting. We'll also check the size and quality of any other valuable stones in your yellow or white gold ring.

 

Is Your Ring a Designer Ring?

People come to us looking for designer models of radiant cut engagement rings all the time. Although all radiant cut engagement rings and all engagement ring settings have value at Hilltop Pawn & Jewelry, designer rings are sometimes more valuable.

 

What Precious Metal is Your Ring Made From?

Although the precious stones heavily impact the value of your ring, the precious metals that the ring is made from impact value, too. Generally, radiant cut engagement rings that are made from yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold are more valuable than silver rings. Platinum rings are quite valuable, too. 

 

With a gold radiant-cut engagement ring, the purity of the gold has a pretty big impact on value. 18K gold engagement rings are actually made from 75% gold and 25% other alloys, making it more pure than 14K gold, which is about 58% gold. Both are more valuable than 10K gold, which is a more affordable option that is made from only 41.70% gold. Of course, even 10K gold diamond rings are valuable, especially if they have valuable radiant cut diamonds. However, we will check the gold purity of your ring before we make an offer. If you're wondering if the color of your gold matters, don't worry! We will buy your white gold engagement ring, or a yellow gold or rose gold ring.

 

Are You Selling Other Jewelry?

We buy more than just radiant cut engagement rings. If you have a matching band that you want to sell, or if you have any other fine jewelry that you no longer want, bring it with you. We can value all of your unwanted jewelry at one time, and give you cash for all of it on the spot.

 

What is a Radiant Cut Diamond?

You may know your old ring has a radiant cut diamond, but if you aren't much of a diamond expert, you might not know much about it. Radiant-cut diamonds are actually relatively new when compared to some other diamond cuts. They were first introduced in 1977, although 30 years of research went into the radiant diamond before it was finally patented and released to the public.

 

This diamond cut came into existence by Austrian-born Henry Grossbard. Grossbard was a master diamond cutter who took notice of the immense popularity of the round-cut diamond. Round-cut diamonds are highly popular because of their many brilliant facets, but they are quite expensive due to the unavoidable diamond waste when they are being cut. Grossbard wanted to create similarly brilliant square or rectangular shapes, which caused the eventual release of the radiant cut diamond.

 

The radiant cut diamond is a great alternative to a round cut diamond. Someone who is interested in a really sparkly ring, but who wants something a little cheaper than a round diamond, might find it's the perfect choice. It's also a great option for those who like emerald cut diamonds but want something with more brilliance.

Get Your Ring Back

Many people sell their engagement ring to a diamond specialist when they don't really want to. Because you know the value of your ring, it's tempting to sell it when you're in a tight spot financially. If you'd prefer to get your ring back -- while still putting money in your pocket right now -- a pawn loan will be a great solution. Just make sure that you either repay your loan before the repayment date, or get an extension prior to the repayment date, to ensure you can get your ring back.

 

Get a Sizable Loan

The resale value of the diamond ring that you bring to us is the one and only thing we'll look at when choosing your loan amount. If you've struggled to get higher value loans in the past because of lack of income or any other reason, you'll be glad to know that isn't an issue here. You can even get a higher loan amount by bringing in additional collateral along with your radiant cut engagement ring.

 

Avoid an Application Process

For many, the biggest hassle of getting a loan is going through the application process.
