Documents to bring with a diamond
Keep reports and item details together for a more useful evaluation conversation.
Start readingDescribe the whole piece
Say whether you have a loose stone, ring, earrings or another item. Note what you know about the metal and stone, and separate documented details from assumptions. A photograph cannot establish all grading characteristics or the origin of a stone.
Bring the available report
If you have a grading report, receipt or prior description, bring it with the item. Ask how the report relates to the stone being assessed. Do not assume an old description resolves every question about the current piece or establishes a purchase offer.
Ask what is being considered
Clarify whether the proposed transaction concerns the complete piece or particular components. Ask which details the store can assess and whether additional verification is needed. Confirm all terms with the team before deciding to sell or trade.
A little more prepared.
