Selling a diamond that is practically brand new came with a lot of sadness but also a blessing in disguise. I found Diamondlighthouse online and never really hesitated to deal with them. They called... See more

Trustworthy, prompt, friendly, expert service. Easy to contact, amazingly quick response. The best service I have ever received. I would recommend this company to everyone. They stay in communication with you and explain every step. More than happy with the outcome.

First time selling diamonds

Diamond Lighthouse was selected after reading a few reviews.
Filled out necessary info and had Tania follow up with the way things were to proceed.
In short the entire process and transaction was as Tania described.
4 offers were received within a few days with the 4th being the final which I accepted.
Payment followed within 2 days with Tania following up to confirm receipt of payment.
Diamond Lighthouse acted in a most professional manner and I will use them again if and when the opportunity arises.

They made this so easy

I was apprehensive about selling my diamond on line but Diamond Lighthouse made me feel very secure every step of the way. They were transparency itself. My stone was sold, the money in my account, everything happened just like they said it would. They called and e-mailed frequently to be sure I was aware of what was going on. I would deal with them again in a minute.

Effortless

Diamond Lighthouse handled the selling of my ring smooth, easy, and effortlessly. Any questions I had there was always someone available to answer them. They kept me updated every step of the way with their great online portal. I would use them in a heartbeat to sell any of my diamonds. Totally professional and trustworthy.

Easy and Fair

Selling a diamond is a little bit of a bummer because the retail price of diamonds is so inflated that reselling them is depressing as a consumer. It's hard to see the diamond industries clever supply and demand tactics reflected in your own wallet.

Overlooking that single aspect, doing business with Diamond Lighthouse was a breeze! The process was very simple and straightforward. The only hiccup I encountered was I never received the video of my diamond being appraised, which would have been comforting to watch.

I received 5 or so offers and took the last one. I suspect the offers aren't really from other agencies, but merely a negotiation tactic to get you excited to sell your diamond. Nevertheless, the less than 25% of what I paid retail for the ring didn't shock me and I accepted the offer. Additionally, I was told that a melting fee was "waived" when it was later revealed that the buyer was simply going to purchase the ring as is and not just the diamond. I thought that was a bit dishonest, but I suppose that's to be expected as well.

Moral of the story: selling a diamond sucks, but doing it through Diamond Lighthouse is a pretty easy process. Good luck!

Reply from Diamond Lighthouse

Hi Lindsay,

Thank you for your business and your review. There are a few things that we would like to clarify at this time. One thing that you mentioned was that you were not able to view your evaluation video. Your video is available to view at any time when you are logged in to your personal Diamond Lighthouse account. If you were experiencing difficulty in viewing it, we wish you would have reached out to any of our customer service reps, who would have happily walked you through it and made every effort to rectify the problem.

The main thing that we need to address is when you stated “I suspect the offers aren't really from other agencies.” Our entire business model is based on our open auction platform, where we showcase diamonds that we receive to our network of professional diamond buyers, and they place bids. Our sales team does their very best to ensure that every diamond we receive sells for the highest amount possible. This is because a) we want to make our clients happy and b) we receive a commission from the sale. Our Head of Sales puts a lot of work into urging the buyers to place higher and higher bids!

In regards to the “melting fee”; since we deal strictly with diamonds, as a courtesy to our clients, we take whatever precious metal that accompanies the diamond jewelry that we receive and have it melted down at an outside agency. This service is not free, so we deduct a 25% melting fee from the list price of that metal (as listed on the day that it comes in to our offices). As a special courtesy to you, we waived that fee (paying it ourselves) and included the full price of the metal with your overall payment. We are sorry for any confusion regarding this matter.

Overall, we are quite happy that you found our process smooth, efficient and profitable; yet we are sorry that you came away with the wrong impression about some of the key aspects of our business. As we really strive to have transparency in all facets of our process, we hope to do a better job of communicating all of these features in the future.

Again, thank you for your business; please feel free to speak with one of our reps directly to clarify anything else!

Flawless Experience From Start to Finish!

I traveled to NYC because I was very skeptical to send my wedding ring and wedding band by mail to a company that I had found online. I figured that by going in person I could make a better call to see if I could truly trust them with my valuables. They explained the process to me thoroughly and not only did I feel assured that my diamond was in safe hands- I left confident that they would get me the most money for my ring. Within a couple of days I had a great offer which surpassed my expectations! If I were to do it again though, I would save the money on the trip and have mailed it directly to them. The staff is not only extremely friendly but they know how to do their job well. I couldn't have had a more positive experience with Diamond Lighthouse from start to finish.

Selling a loose diamond

I'm not going to lie, the fact that I had to blindly trust a company and ship my diamond to them, was very frightening. Melissa reassured me every step of the way. I was relieved when it was delivered. The process of evaluating my diamond, was just as indicated on their website. They really do take all the steps necessary, to put your mind at ease and to assure that there is no shady practices taking place.
In the end, I didn't sell my diamond and the return process was just as efficient as the beginning process.
I would, without a doubt, use Diamond Lighthouse again and would highly recommend them to anyone with the need to sell their jewelry.

Excellant Company for selling your Memories

This company was great in the aide of helping me sell one of my diamond pieces. They worked with me to give me the best price possible and even asked for my opinions of what I would be expecting from them. They actually do care and Melissa was great to work with. If I do have other pieces I would highly recommend this company to anyone as I would be more than happy to work with them again!

Would recommend this company to anyone.

I was a bit hesitant and skeptical to use an online company to sell my diamond, but after shopping around I settled on Diamond Lighthouse. The experience went smoothly and was handled very professionally. Melissa's customer service was terrific and I am very pleased with the offer I received.

When dealing with a professional copany you expect professionalism, however when dealing with Melissa at Diamond Lighthouse you get so much more--you get kindness.

At 72 years old, I had no idea what to expect in trying to sell my wedding rings in order to purchase a new ring for my Mattie. This is when an unexpected event occurred. Melissa at Diamond Lighthouse greeted me and her professionalism was present in our conversation. Her kindness was the unexpected in her voice.

She guided me through the events that would occur over the next few days, and they occurred exactly as she said. Not too many times in my life had I heard a voice with a smile on it, and this was one of them.

Great job, Melissa, you keep smiling, it warms the heart of an old man at the other end of the line.
