You want to know where to sell your diamond and how much to sell it for? You have jewels, engagement rings, wedding rings, pendants, solitaires set with diamonds for which you wish to choose where to put them on sale and know how to calculate the second-hand price?

i-diamants.com, created in 1999 by the De Hantsetters family, diamond dealers in Antwerp since 1888, offers to assist you with an expertise of the value of your jewel and a price offer for the purchase of your diamond online.

Selling is above all understanding. The i-diamants site is an efficient web space to inform you. Indeed, learn to familiarize yourself with the criteria that define the quality, value and price of cut diamonds. You can use our online catalog as a price simulator with the price in euros of diamonds according to their quality. Please note, however, that the prices displayed in our catalog are sales prices, including taxes, for choosing and buying a GIA, HRD or IGI certified diamond, and are therefore not prices for buying a cut and/or rough diamond.

Our diamond guide, which explains the famous 4C's (Carat for weight, Cut for the quality of the cut of the diamond, Colour for the color or degree of whiteness, Clarity for the purity depending on whether inclusions are visible or not to the naked eye), will allow you to evaluate the importance of these criteria of quality and evaluation of a diamond. Our motto "Integrity Inside, Beauty Outside" underlines our attitude of transparency of information and respect for the customer. We also invite you to read our detailed article on what to know before buying a diamond to learn more. 

The best way is to sell a diamond certified by one of the 3 major international gemmological laboratories: GIA, HRD and IGI. With this certificate (normally provided when the stone is purchased from the jeweler), you can present your diamond to any diamond dealer without any debate about the quality of the stone. Indeed, in these certificates, all the precise characteristics of the cut diamond (including the proportions and angles of each facet) are recorded and noted. These 3 certification institutes are recognized worldwide as experts and neutral arbiters between dealers and individuals. When there is no longer any doubt about the quality, it becomes easier to negotiate a price that suits both buyer and seller.

Our site offers you not only a diamond guide to understand the diamond in all its facets and a catalog to know the selling prices, but also a customer service on which we focus all our attention. 

Our team of diamond dealers and jewelers will be at your service for the evaluation and the repurchase of your second hand diamond, whatever its weight in carat from 0,70 carat to 1 carat and more. Also we propose to buy back your stone on presentation in Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Paris and Antwerp (Belgium), or an expertise and resale of your diamond directly on line on the Internet as soon as you have the certificate of quality GIA, HRD or IGI.
