A serious buyer for natural diamonds.

Private, owner-led evaluations for engagement rings, loose stones and significant diamonds. We consider the stone, setting, maker and current market before presenting a clear offer.

The Uptown Jewelry Buyer standard

Precision first.
Pressure never.

We examine each natural diamond individually and explain the factors that shape its value. If the stone is mounted in a desirable designer or estate piece, we consider the complete piece—not only the center stone.

GIA documentation is useful, but it is not required for us to begin an evaluation.

Important natural diamonds

Selling a Significant Diamond?

Larger and higher-quality natural diamonds deserve an individual market evaluation. Uptown Jewelry Buyer actively purchases significant natural diamonds, including GIA-certified and uncertified stones.

We consider carat weight, cut, color, clarity, certification, fluorescence, proportions, shape, condition and current market demand when evaluating a diamond.

Whether your diamond is mounted in jewelry or loose, we can evaluate it as part of a complete piece or as an individual stone.
