Large Diamond Buyer in Downtown Los Angeles
Cash 4 Gold & Diamonds buys large natural diamonds in Downtown Los Angeles—any size, any shape, loose or set in jewelry. We buy natural diamonds only. We do not buy uncut, rough or laboratory-grown diamonds. Visit us at 617 S. Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90014.
Natural diamonds of any size and shape
Have a substantial center stone, a large loose diamond or a diamond collection to sell? Cash 4 Gold & Diamonds welcomes natural polished diamonds of any carat weight and any shape. Large diamonds are a focus of our buying service, and smaller natural stones are welcome too.
We buy round, oval, emerald-cut, cushion, radiant, princess, pear, marquise, Asscher, heart and other diamond shapes. Each diamond is evaluated individually; an unusual shape does not rule it out.
Loose diamonds, rings and substantial diamond jewelry
Bring loose natural diamonds or complete jewelry: engagement rings, solitaire rings, eternity bands, tennis bracelets, necklaces, pendants and earrings. Keep the piece intact and bring matching stones, removed links or accessories you already have.
For an eternity band or another multi-stone piece, total carat weight describes all the diamonds together. It does not mean that one stone has that weight. A large single diamond and a band containing many smaller stones need different assessments, even when their combined weights are similar.
Our diamond-buying service covers the wider range of natural diamond jewelry. The diamond necklace guide helps you prepare a complete necklace or pendant.
What goes into a large-diamond offer
Carat weight matters, but it is one part of the evaluation. Shape, proportions, color, clarity, condition and any treatment information help describe the actual diamond. GIA explains the 4Cs and why diamonds of similar weight can have different characteristics.
Bring the whole ring or jewelry piece so its mounting and other stones can be considered too. Let us know about any chips, repairs or changes you are aware of. Discuss any proposed removal or additional examination before agreeing to it.
Bring your grading report if you have one
Bring matching grading reports, receipts and other records that describe the diamond. For a GIA report, GIA Report Check lets you look up the report information. The document still needs to be matched to the actual stone being evaluated.
If you do not have a report, call us with what you know about the item. You do not need to guess a grade or pay for new paperwork before asking about the evaluation. Our loose-diamond evaluation guide explains useful preparation questions.
Natural diamonds only
Our diamond buying is limited to natural, cut and polished diamonds. We do not buy laboratory-grown diamonds or uncut and rough material.
If origin is uncertain, explain that when you contact us and share any existing report. Appearance alone cannot reliably establish natural origin; GIA explains why specialist identification can be needed.

Questions about selling a large diamond
Do you buy diamond engagement rings as well as loose diamonds?
Yes. We buy natural, cut and polished diamonds loose or set in rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets; we do not buy laboratory-grown, uncut or rough diamonds. A mounted diamond is evaluated together with its setting, and any grading report should come with the ring.
Does a large diamond need a GIA report before I can sell it?
No. A report is helpful supporting information, but it is not required to request an evaluation. A report describes the stone’s identity and quality; it does not set a price. Our lab-grown report guide explains how reports identify laboratory-grown stones.
Is carat weight enough to price a large diamond?
No. Two stones of the same carat weight can differ widely in color, clarity, cut, fluorescence and condition, and a mounted stone’s weight may only be estimated. Our diamond preparation guide lists the details to gather before an evaluation.
Should I remove my large diamond from its ring before the evaluation?
No. Keep the piece intact and bring the whole ring or jewelry item so its mounting and other stones can be considered along with the large diamond. Mention any chips, repairs or changes you know about. If removal or additional examination is proposed, discuss the reason and agree to it before any work is done.
Will you buy a large diamond if I am unsure it is natural?
We buy natural, cut and polished diamonds only, but uncertainty about origin does not stop you from asking about an evaluation. Explain what you know when you contact us and share any existing report, because appearance alone cannot reliably establish natural origin. A stone identified as laboratory-grown, uncut or rough falls outside our diamond buying.
