Why are natural diamonds less than half the price when they are recycled?

  Diamonds are recyclable like gold, but there are differences. In particular, many customers do not understand why they pay thousands of thousands of high prices for diamonds, but sell them for less than half the price.

Brand premium

At present, there are a lot of well-known diamond brands on the market. If you compare different brands, you will find that similar styles and the same quality, the bigger the brand is, the higher the price is, and some are even several times different. Some customers believe in the brand and are willing to pay more. This is called "brand premium". Generally, the higher the brand awareness, the higher the premium.

However, when recycling pawn or brand discount buyback, the part of brand premium will not be counted in it, only according to the price of the diamond itself, resulting in a sharp drop in the recovery price of diamonds.

Diamond parameter class

The selling price and recovery price of a diamond are calculated according to its parameter grade, and the better the quality of the diamond, the more valuable it is. If the diamonds themselves are of average quality, they will not fetch a high price when recycled.

When a lot of clients buy more take a fancy to design, no matter diamond level, want to know the second-hand market of broken drill or the diamond below 30 minutes act the role of article is not high, resemble pearl river pawn go still can receive, and give up to also can be valued according to material quality. But other outlets often reject diamonds because they are too small.

The size of a diamond, 1 carat is a watershed, above 1 carat recycling prices will be higher. So if you plan to sell diamonds in the future, you must pay attention to the above two points when buying.

The fluorescent reaction of diamond refers to the blue or yellow fluorescence emitted by the diamond itself under ultraviolet irradiation. Most natural diamonds have fluorescence reactions.

Myth # 1: Fluorescence is a form of radiation that is harmful to the body.

Some friends think fluorescence is a kind of radiation. In fact, it is not, because the crystal lattice of diamond (mainly because of the nitrogen or boron elements in the diamond) structure, under ultraviolet light is an optical phenomenon. There is no radiation, there is no radiation, just like the fluorescent fiber in the renminbi that we use every day, there is no effect on the body.

Myth # 2: Fluorescent diamonds are "softer" than non-fluorescent diamonds

This discussion is seen on the public platform of a famous jewelry magazine, and I think it is biased. Because "soft hard" is a relative concept, and the hardness of diamond in different directions will be slightly different, so it cannot be reasonable to compare.

Myth # 3: Fluorescent diamonds are cheaper, so they're bad

A diamond, like a person, is unique, neither good nor bad. It's just a matter of personal preference, many people think fluorescent diamonds can present different visual effects on sunny and cloudy days, and they especially like it.
