What Happens to My Diamonds When I Sell My Gold on the Gold Coast?

If you’re looking to sell gold on the Gold Coast and your jewellery contains diamonds, you might be wondering: what happens to the diamonds when I sell the gold?

It’s a good question — and something that isn’t always explained clearly by gold buyers.

At EasyGold on the Gold Coast, when we’re buying jewellery for its gold value, we don’t buy your diamonds as part of the gold.

Instead, where possible, we remove the diamonds or stones from the jewellery and return them to you.

You can then keep them, reuse them in another piece of jewellery, give them to someone or have them valued and potentially sell them separately.

Selling Gold With Diamonds on the Gold Coast

A lot of the gold jewellery we see at our Gold Coast gold buying stores contains diamonds or other gemstones.

When you bring gold jewellery into EasyGold, we test the precious metal to determine its purity — such as 9ct, 14ct or 18ct — and weigh the gold so we can calculate its value.

Diamonds are different.

The value of a diamond can depend on its size, cut, colour, clarity and whether it is a natural or laboratory-grown diamond.

Rather than giving you little or no value for a diamond simply because it happens to be set in a piece of gold you want to sell, our approach is simple:

If we're not paying you for the diamond, we give it back to you.

What Happens to the Diamonds When EasyGold Buys My Gold?

If you visit one of our EasyGold Gold Coast locations with a gold ring, necklace or other piece of jewellery containing diamonds, let our team know that you would like the stones returned.

Where possible, we can cut the diamonds out of the jewellery.

The gold can then be weighed and valued based on its precious metal content, while the diamonds are returned to you.

This means you're not simply giving away a diamond when all you really wanted to do was sell the unwanted gold surrounding it.

Can I Sell the Diamonds Separately?

Yes. Once the diamonds have been removed and returned to you, they're yours to do whatever you want with.

You might decide to have them professionally assessed to see whether they have resale value.

Alternatively, you could keep them, give them to a family member or have a jeweller reset them into another piece of jewellery.

An old or broken gold ring might not mean much to you anymore, but the diamond inside it could still be something worth keeping.

Can I Reuse Diamonds From Old Gold Jewellery?

Absolutely.

One option is to take your stones to a Gold Coast jeweller and discuss having them reset.

For example, a diamond from an old ring could potentially be used in a new ring, pendant or another custom piece.

It can be a great way to keep something from the original jewellery while still selling the unwanted gold.

Do All Gold Buyers on the Gold Coast Give Diamonds Back?

Not necessarily.

If you're comparing gold buyers on the Gold Coast, it's worth asking exactly what happens to your diamonds and gemstones before agreeing to sell.

Ask whether the gold buyer is actually paying you for the diamonds.

If they aren't, ask whether the stones will be removed and returned to you.

At EasyGold, we think it should be clear what you're being paid for.

If we're buying your gold and not your diamond, we don't believe we should keep your diamond.

What About Rubies, Sapphires and Other Gemstones?

It isn't only diamonds.

Gold jewellery can contain sapphires, rubies, emeralds and many other types of gemstones.

If you're visiting EasyGold to sell gold on the Gold Coast and have stones you'd like to keep, show our team before selling the item.

Depending on the jewellery and how the stones are set, we may be able to remove them and return them to you.

Some stones may have very little resale value, while others may be worth keeping, reusing or having professionally assessed.
