Q: How much is my diamond worth in New York?

Diamond resale value in New York depends on carat weight, cut, color, clarity, and whether you have a GIA certificate. A GIA-certified round brilliant in D-H color and VS clarity typically sells for 50-70% of current retail replacement value in a competitive market. Parure gives you a real number within 48 hours — free and with no obligation.

Q: What is the best way to sell a diamond ring in NYC?

The best way to sell a diamond ring in New York City is through a process that creates competition among multiple buyers simultaneously. Walking the Diamond District alone gives you one offer at a time with no leverage. Parure presents your piece to our vetted buyer network simultaneously, so buyers compete for your stone and you receive the highest offer.

Q: How do I sell an inherited diamond or estate jewelry?

Submit details and photos of your inherited diamond or estate jewelry privately through Parure. A GIA certificate helps but is not required. We work with uncertified, estate, and vintage pieces regularly and will advise whether certification makes sense before you sell.

Q: Can I sell my engagement ring privately in New York?

Yes. Parure's process is entirely private. Your identity is never shared with buyers during the bidding process. You receive a competing offer without anyone knowing you are selling, and there is no obligation to accept.

Q: Is there a seller fee or commission to sell through Parure?

There is no seller fee. Submitting your piece costs nothing. Receiving an offer costs nothing. If you accept, our fee is paid from the buyer side — not by you. You keep the full offer amount.

Q: How long does it take to sell a diamond through Parure?

Most submissions receive their highest competing offer within 48 hours. Submission itself takes about 5 minutes online. If you accept, physical transfer and payment typically complete within one week.

Question 1

How do I get the best price for my diamond ring? +

Answer

The best price comes from competition. A single jeweler has no reason to bid near their ceiling and you have no leverage. Parure creates a sealed-bid process among our vetted buyers simultaneously, forcing each to offer their best number. Our sellers consistently receive significantly more than single-buyer quotes.

Question 2

How much does it cost to sell through Parure? +

Answer

Nothing. There is zero seller commission or fee. Submitting your diamond and receiving an offer is completely free. If you accept the offer, Parure's fee is earned from the buyer-side spread, invisible to you. You keep the full offer amount.

Question 3

Is my identity kept confidential? +

Answer

Your identity is kept private from buyers throughout the bidding process. We designed it this way intentionally so your privacy protects your leverage. Personal details are only shared when needed to complete a transaction you have chosen to accept.

Question 4

How long does the process take? +

Answer

You receive your highest offer within 48 hours of submission. If you accept, we coordinate secure insured shipping and wire payment directly to you within 24 hours of receiving the diamond. The entire process typically concludes in under one week.

Question 5

What diamonds does Parure accept? +

Answer

We accept loose diamonds and diamond jewelry including engagement rings, solitaires, and estate pieces. All shapes and carat weights are considered. We work with GIA, AGS, IGI, and HRD certified stones as well as uncertified diamonds. Pieces with an approximate value of $5,000 or above are best suited to our process.

Question 6

Do I have to sell if I receive an offer? +

Answer

No. Receiving an offer is completely free and non-binding. You may decline for any reason, no follow-up, no pressure, no fee. Many sellers simply want to know what their diamond is worth in the current market. That information is yours at no cost.
