Diamonds — Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills' Trusted Diamond Buyer

When you're ready to sell a diamond in Beverly Hills, the buyer you choose determines how much you receive. At Revere Jewelers, every diamond is evaluated by Steve Hami — a GIA-trained gemologist with over 40 years of hands-on experience in the Los Angeles fine jewelry market. We buy all types of diamonds directly, with no middlemen, no auction fees, and no waiting. You receive a same-day cash offer, and if you accept, payment is made immediately.

Every Diamond Type and Shape — We Buy Them All

Revere Jewelers purchases loose diamonds and diamonds set in all forms of jewelry: engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond earrings, tennis bracelets, necklaces, pendants, and brooches. There is no minimum or maximum carat weight. Whether you have a half-carat round brilliant or a 5-carat emerald cut, we will evaluate it and give you a firm offer on the spot.

We buy every diamond shape in active circulation on today's market:

• Round Brilliant — the most traded diamond shape; values are well-supported by strong secondary market demand
• Oval — elongated shape with excellent light performance; highly sought after in Beverly Hills
• Cushion — soft rounded corners with deep vintage appeal; cushion-cut diamonds remain a top seller
• Emerald Cut — step-cut faceting that rewards high clarity; a staple of estate and designer pieces
• Pear — teardrop silhouette; popular in pendants and single-stone rings
• Radiant — brilliant faceting in a rectangular frame; offers excellent value retention
• Princess — square brilliant cut; among the most common center stones in engagement rings
• Marquise — elongated with pointed ends; rare shapes command collector interest
• Asscher — octagonal step cut; prized for its Art Deco heritage and deep hall-of-mirrors effect
• Heart — symbolic cut requiring precise craftsmanship; valued for carat weight and symmetry

GIA, EGL, and AGS Certificates — Helpful, Not Required

Many clients arrive with a GIA (Gemological Institute of America), EGL (European Gemological Laboratory), or AGS (American Gem Society) grading report. A GIA certificate is the gold standard in diamond documentation and typically supports a higher offer because it independently confirms the stone's color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. However, Revere Jewelers never requires documentation to make an offer. Steve Hami evaluates every diamond using professional-grade grading equipment — master comparison stones, a calibrated microscope, and precise carat scales — regardless of whether a certificate is present.

How the 4Cs Determine Your Diamond's Value

Diamond valuation is built on four internationally recognized quality factors, each of which directly affects price:

Cut is the single most important factor for round brilliant diamonds. GIA grades cut as Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor. An Excellent cut maximizes light return and brightness; a Poor cut can reduce a stone's market value by 20–40% compared to an equivalent Excellent grade. Cut does not refer to the diamond's shape, but to the precision and quality of the facets.

Color is graded on a D-to-Z scale, where D represents colorless and Z carries a visible yellow or brown tint. Colorless and near-colorless grades (D–J) command the highest prices; below J, value falls progressively. Fancy colored diamonds — natural yellow, blue, pink, green, or orange — are evaluated on a completely different scale and can be worth exponentially more than white diamonds of equivalent carat weight.

Clarity describes the presence and severity of internal inclusions and external blemishes. The GIA clarity scale runs from Flawless (FL) through Internally Flawless (IF), Very Very Slightly Included (VVS1, VVS2), Very Slightly Included (VS1, VS2), Slightly Included (SI1, SI2), to Included (I1, I2, I3). For most buyers, VS2 and above is considered "eye-clean," meaning inclusions are not visible without magnification. Each step down the clarity scale has a measurable impact on wholesale price.

Carat weight is measured in metric carats (1 carat = 0.2 grams). Price per carat rises non-linearly at certain thresholds — 0.50ct, 1.00ct, 1.50ct, 2.00ct — because stones at or above these weights are rarer and more desirable. A 1.00-carat diamond is worth significantly more per carat than a 0.98-carat stone of identical quality.

Why Revere Jewelers Pays More Than Pawn Shops

Pawn shops and general jewelry buyers lack the gemological expertise to accurately grade a diamond. Without knowing the precise cut quality, color grade, and clarity of the stone, they apply blanket discounts that protect them from uncertainty — at your expense. Revere Jewelers buys directly: there is no auction house taking a 15–20% seller's premium, no consignment arrangement, and no retail markup structure to offset. Steve Hami's GIA training means your diamond is graded with the same precision used by the industry's top dealers. That expertise translates directly into higher offers for you.
