How do I pawn or sell my old cut diamonds?
So, how much can I sell or pawn my old cut diamonds for at your Beverly Hills store? Well, here at Pawnbrokers Rodeo Drive we know that each old cut diamond comes to us with a unique and interesting story to tell. This is because these stones have often been recycled from other antique items of jewellery. If their journey can be authenticated, it can add to their value. Plus, old European cut diamonds can boast a higher carat weight compared to modern cut diamonds and this can make them more valuable too. As these diamonds have passed from hand to hand across the centuries, they have often been cut down and re-faceted to fit in with current fashions. This means that original and larger size old cut stones are especially rare and can fetch $700,000 or more. The breathtaking Sancy diamond has been in the possession of medieval kings and queens and now sits in The Louvre in Paris. It is so precious that it is considered beyond price. With old cut diamonds ranging in value from a few hundred dollars to priceless it is easy to see why you need a value assessment you can absolutely trust. And, why we take the time to look carefully at each individual stone in order to value it on its own merits.
The light in the stone
One old cut found in antique jewellery is the Rose Cut. Although relatively rare, some beautiful larger Rose Cut diamonds can still be found. They offer a shallow cut which allows a lot of light to travel through the stone, but without the same refraction as the modern brilliant diamond cut. Diamonds cut before the 18th century possess a square shape and a polished under point and are sometimes called an ‘Old Mine Cut.’ Some old European cuts offer a rounder shape, with different stones offering different types of facets. ‘Victorian’ cuts are deeply proportioned and thicker than modern cuts with a higher, smaller upper facet and a polished underside. The light in these stones reflects their unique cuts and history.
