Diamonds

What do you need and to know and where do you go when you want to sell Diamonds? When you sell Diamonds, it is important to know the size, color and clarity of your Diamonds. Large Diamonds, such as 1 carat Diamonds or over, are the best kind of Diamonds to have when you sell Diamonds. When you go to sell Diamonds you will find that small Diamonds have very little value unless you have a very large quantity of these small Diamonds. Yellow Diamonds are going to have less value than similar Diamonds that are whiter. Diamonds with no inclusions are going to be rarer, and thus more valuable than Diamonds with a few inclusions.

Diamonds with a lot of inclusions or even one very visible inclusion are going to be worth less than similar Diamonds with fewer or less visible inclusions. So how do you know how your Diamonds are graded and how much your Diamonds are worth? Well, you need to take your Diamonds to someone who has experience and education grading Diamonds, such as one of the graders of Diamonds at Nevada Coin & Jewelry. A good grader of Diamonds will look at the Diamonds in a good amount of light, using a loupe or a microscope. This will allow him to see any inclusions the Diamonds may have, and also to see if the Diamonds have chips or other damage.

The next thing a grader of Diamonds will look at is the color of the Diamonds. Diamonds are color graded under a bright light, against a white background. If the Diamonds have a yellow or brown color, the grader of Diamonds will be able to see it against the white backgrounds. Diamonds are color graded in the following grades: Diamonds that have no visible color are graded D, E, or F; Diamonds that have a very slight yellow or brown color are graded G, H or I; Diamonds that have a slight yellow or brown color are graded J or K; Diamonds that have a noticeable yellow or brown color even without the light are graded L or M; Diamonds with a very noticeable brown or yellow color can be graded between N-Z, depending on the severity of the color.

Very rarely, Diamonds can also be a fancy color, such as a canary yellow, or even a blue, red or orange. If it is determined the color of these Diamonds is natural and not man made with radiation, these fancy color Diamonds can be very valuable.

Been living in Vegas for many years and never had to sell or hock any of my items unfortunately as luck would have it that day did eventually find me and let me tell you is it a tough racket to find a decent place out here to do business with. Pawn shops are a joke and could care less about their customers and treated me like another number. Tried and tried and place after place the numbers where all over the place. Finally decided to go to these guys and I’m glad I did. They tested each piece of my jewelry right in from of me with some kind of xray machine. They explained how they calculated the price and paid me cash on the spot. Avery was very helpful and didn’t mind answering my questions and explaining what they do. I left feeling I got the best price for my items. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their jewelry.

A.J. and Robert are so friendly and make it so you have the best deal with the items you bring them. They have so much knowledge about all the items they have in their shop and they like to teach others about what they know…

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!

I recently got divorced so I wanted to get rid of some of the jewelry my ex-husband got me. I found Nevada Coin and jewelry searching the web. When I called the guy that answered the phone was friendly and willing to quote me a price per gram. I went to their store on Flamingo, Avery whom I spoke to on the phone tested my items using some kind of x-ray machine. I could see that some of my jewelry was not the karat I thought (some lower some higher). He paid what he quoted on the phone no bait and switch. It took less than 15 minutes got my cash and got rid of some bad memories. I would recommend this company if you are looking to sell jewelry.

As a first timer in selling, I was a bit apprehensive. I did not know what to expect and was a little worried about a previous reviewers comments. Yes the office was stark and clinical. The staff however, more than made up for any downfall in the decor. Very helpful, polite and understanding to any ‘silly’ questions that were asked. All in all a pleasant experience, and one that should the opportunity arise I would go through again!

Marie G.

Outstanding experience! This is the best place to change your gold with a great attention. I’m completely impressive because they have a smooth and fast service, definitely nice people!

Pablo V.

Always a good experience here! Definitely the place in town I enjoy buying coins from, and I’d recommend them to anybody. Helpful staff, reasonable prices, and wide selection.

Daniel B.

Professional, friendly staff. Knowledgeable and fair. An interesting experience and would definitely visit again.

Gail B.

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!

After visiting a couple of the “traveling gold & silver merchants” who came to Mesquite, I made a call to Nevada Coin & Jewelry in Las Vegas… David was very helpful and professional. Their prices were the best I had seen… I left very satisfied with my trip and the deals we made. I will definitely go there again.

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.
