Sell Diamonds Sydney

Today,  we measure your stones in carats to ensure you an optimum valuation. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams of diamond. The higher the carat count the greater the value and ultimately the better valuation received. The use of definite carat weights means that the stone is easier to sell thus less confusion over the value.

Cape Series and Fancy Colour are two of the groups, representing colour purity, that we use when valuing. The expert staff at Gold Exchange Universe are experienced in identifying your exact colour. Highest in the grading and thus value is the colourless of the Cape Series. Often traces of yellow, undetected by the naked eye, can be found which lowers the value of the stone.

The value of a diamond is also determined by the clarity of the stone. Like a piece of soft fruit, the most prized is that with least bruising or blemishes. These are called flawless and thus sit at the top of the valuation scale. From here the diamond is graded on a pre-existing, internationally recognised grading system where the type and number of bruises or blemishes are considered in valuing the stone.

Beyond all the factors listed above it is the cut that gives the diamond its life, its sparkle. The more facets or sides to the diamond the more brilliant it shines. Nowadays the sophistication of the cutter’s work means that they have rarely appeared more beautiful, more desirable. In saying this it is inevitable the better cut diamond the greater value. Evaluation on your diamond’s worth is very much affected by its apparent desirability thus causing its valuation to increase appropriately.
