Keep it for next girl

Please update on the sold price. Thanks.

Diamonds are not actually that rare and are sold at a high markup. Moreover, nobody wants somebody else's wedding ring, they want to have a new ring made for their wedding, so a diamond ring immediately loses value when you take it home. The stones themselves can be taken out of one ring and put into a new one but again, they're not all that rare to begin with so their value is limited.

Gold is kind of special compared to other metals in that it is basically immune to corrosion. Pretty much no matter what happens to your gold (assuming here that it is a fairly high-percentage gold alloy) it will still be gold, it can be melted down and recast into a new item. Because of this physical property gold retains some inherent value.

But, the market value of gold does change over time. So it could be that your gold will lose value over time. Just like many other things gold is a commodity and the price of gold is governed by supply and demand. Gold is not guaranteed to hold its value

Diamonds are worthless. So don't expect to get much out of it.

but it costs bomb to buy for wedding, no make sense

just say diamond is CARBON atoms in tetrahedral form.

Come share details.

I wish i called off the wedding. Haha. Eventhough i am happy and very glad i have my kids all. To be honest if turn back time now i wouldnt married my current partner. She said the same. Due to circumstances we kind of just go along with it due to naivety LOLL

how long liao both you married. can tahan like this till old age? later children all besar liao nothing holding both you together

15 years. So far so good la. We had the conversation we both agreed divorce is never an option.

how many years after living together you started having that thought of "i will never marry you if i go back in time"?

Is it after 10 years? or 3 years already can feel?

Is the feel confirm, consistent, or just during you angry her. After finish angry, no that feeling again? or it's consistent and always feel that way regardless of current emotion.

Don't think worth much unless your diamond are big in carat and have top grade GIA.

Diamond are the biggest successful marketing gimmick sell to women
"diamond are forever"

Got pic and original price, price wished to sell?

Apart from diamond being not rare as explained above (hence it is not precious stone), diamond now can be made in the lab.

Not only lab diamonds are much cheaper (China dominates this industry), they are actually more beautiful (no flaws).

Actually even before the introduction of lab diamonds, natural diamonds didn't have resell values much. They were sold at high prices because the prices were controlled (mostly by De Beers) by slowly releasing diamonds to the market. So if you own a diamond and want to sell it back to the shop, the shop won't buy it back high because they already have a lot of diamonds to sell them out.

the diamond industry is mainly built around selling to consumers, not buying back like gold or silver. if you try to sell a diamond, most buyers will only offer close to the raw or wholesale price. keep in mind, the market is flooded with diamonds, and most dealers are looking to turn inventory into cash, not hand out cash for yours. for certified stones, you might get around 20% of the original price, maybe 30–40% if it’s a really nice piece and you’re lucky. if it’s not certified, chances are they won’t even make an offer.

Ouch.....
Sorry to hear that




I have offer 41% of what you paid for?

synthetic diamond has screwed the market and it can be certified too! Worst, there are direct competition from diamond alike stone, e.g.: Moissanite. So, just hide it somewhere inside the drawer for future gf

My partner does deal in gemstones too. but true most people says here. expect huge loss on the diamond itself. some shop even take metal price only. the diamond bonus for them.

PM if wanna sell to us

raw diamond or mounted already?

best option is go back to the place you buy the stone and ask to change for something else. you get more out of it then selling it elsewhere

best is to ask around the tai tai group as they can grab a good bargain and you also dont lose out that much compare to selling to shop

remembered watched in some documentary before said only coloured diamonds (red, blue, pink....etc) are rare and valuable.

try jewel cafe. they only accept min 2 carat & above.
