How to sell a diamond in Tel Aviv: complete guide
Every step to sell a diamond in Tel Aviv at the right price: preparation, appraisal, certificates, negotiation, payment.
Selling a diamond is not trivial. It often involves significant, sometimes inherited value. Here is the full guide to selling your diamond in Tel Aviv while avoiding the classic pitfalls.
1. Gather information
Before any approach, gather everything you have about the diamond: certificate (GIA, HRD, IGI), original invoice, case, and of course the piece itself.
2. Request a remote pre-estimate
Photograph the stone from several angles in daylight. Attach the certificate scan if available. Send the package to an independent diamond dealer in Tel Aviv: within 24 business hours, you should receive a free price range.
3. Book an in-person meeting
The remote estimate is indicative. The physical inspection at our Tel Aviv bureau confirms the stone and sets a firm offer.
4. Understand the price structure
Diamond pricing is based on Rapaport, updated weekly. The dealer applies the matrix crossing color and clarity, then adjusts by cut, fluorescence, market liquidity, and certificate presence.
5. Verify legal compliance
Every transaction includes: identity presented, signed cession agreement, bank transfer payment.
6. Payment
Upon acceptance: bank transfer the same day. You leave with your receipt.
