DIAMOND BUYING (DIAMOND SELLING) IN BERLIN

The hardest substance in nature

Diamonds, the most prestigious minerals among gemstones, are named after their “unconquerable” hardness. The cubic crystal structures of this compressed carbon lead to high light refraction and scattering. Therefore, diamonds have fascinated people with their fluorescent and phosphorescent color effects for over 6,000 years as “magical stones”.

As jewelry or investment, diamonds are traded both in their rough form and cut or mounted. Their value is determined by size, color, clarity, and cut. However, origin or inclusions also play a role.

Value determination is a small science

One carat of a diamond corresponds to a weight of 0.2 grams. When dealing with rough diamonds, it’s important to note that they lose size and weight through subsequent cutting. However, even diamond fragments or small jewelry stones have their value. The cut (e.g., rose cut or brilliant cut) decisively determines the “fire”, i.e., the light refraction effects and thus the quality of the stone.

In addition to a range of other details that our experienced jewelers will be happy to explain during a consultation, the origin of the stones plays a particularly important role for us when buying diamonds in Berlin.

Forgeries are quickly detected by our experts, and synthetic diamonds are no problem either. For about 70 years, synthetic diamonds have been produced for jewelry purposes at temperatures over 1,500°C, and we buy them too.

Quality certificates help with serious business

Certificates play a major role in both buying and selling diamonds or diamond jewelry. This is comparable to buying or selling cars. The TÜV certificate says much more than what the car looks like from the outside.

Just like many high-quality things, there are authenticity certificates for diamonds. While there may not be one for every old diamond brooch or some heirloom, everything you know about the provenance of your diamonds is important for the sale. Sometimes a good (true) story can even increase the value of your gemstones.

When it comes to high-value diamond purchases in Berlin, we recommend: first make an appointment with us by phone (+49 30 92 36 99 69). We are trained diamond appraisers. However, if in doubt, we can always bring in additional experts to evaluate your stones. Or we can advise you in peace and without obligation during a house call.

You decide whether you want to pledge your treasures at the end or sell them to Gold-Buy-Berlin. Simple, fair, and discreet.
