Diamonds are the quintessential gemstone esteemed for millennia and worn worldwide in diamond jewelry. Diamond jewelry is traditionally given for specific occasions like engagements, April birthdays, and 60th wedding anniversaries, but it can also be a staple piece for everyday looks as well as a valuable investment.

The allure of diamond jewelry has been perpetual for many reasons: longevity, beauty, investment potential, versatility, and representation of everlasting love.

By participating in a diamond auction online, you can explore a much broader range of options than you’ll find in stores. Different diamond colors and cuts, vintage to modern styles, rings or pendants… a vast array of diamond jewelry auctions are within reach, all featuring this beautiful, timeless gemstone. 

FAQs

What should I consider when buying from a diamond auction online?

Learn about diamond quality and what to look for using the 4 Cs: color, cut, clarity, and carat weight. Examine the photos and description on the diamond jewelry auction listing, reach out to the seller with additional questions, and always check for a professional third-party diamond certification. 

How does an online diamond jewelry auction work?

Online diamond auctions work similarly to in-person ones. You create an account, find the item you want, make your offer, and try to outbid others until it ends. The convenience of a diamond auction online is setting your maximum bid without having to go anywhere, then sitting back as the system bids on your behalf up to the maximum amount you set. 

What types of diamond jewelry are available in the auction?

Our online diamond auctions cover a wide variety of rings, necklaces, earrings, and sets. You can find classic white or bold colored diamonds.

Some minimalist jewelry uses diamonds alone; elaborate vintage pieces often pair diamonds with other precious gems like emeralds and garnets. Plus, our diamond jewelry auctions feature several high-quality metals for any complexion or style. 

How can I be sure of the quality of the diamond jewelry listed?

Only bid on a diamond jewelry auction that has a thorough, accurate description and verifiable grading certificate. GIA is the industry standard for diamond certification, but other reputable labs are IGI and AGS. Also look for close-up pictures of relevant jewelry hallmarks to verify high-quality metal settings. 

Are the diamond pieces certified, and can I receive a certificate of authenticity?

If the diamond jewelry auction listing doesn’t include a grading lab certificate or seems inaccurate in any way, request an audit through our Gemstone Sheriff program to have a third-party expert gemologist verify the item’s authenticity. 

What payment methods are accepted for online diamond auction purchases?

All sellers must accept GemPay, credit card, PayPal, and/or escrow. Each seller’s accepted payment methods are on the diamond jewelry auction listing and their Verified Seller profile. 

How is the diamond jewelry shipped after purchase?

You have 3 days after winning a diamond jewelry auction to submit payment and verify your shipping information. After that, sellers have 1 to 2 business days to process and ship your order. Shipping time, costs, and tracking are set by each seller and can vary based on you and the seller’s location. We recommend opting for shipping insurance, particularly if you’re located in a different country than the seller. 

What happens if I win a bid but am not satisfied with the diamond jewelry? Can I return or exchange diamond jewelry purchased at the auction?

Absolutely. Per our sitewide return policy, all sellers allow you to refund or exchange a product within 7 days of receiving it if you’re not completely satisfied. Reach out to the seller and review their return shipping and insurance rates under the “extended profile” on their Verified Seller page.  

How can I place a bid in the diamond jewelry auction?

Start by creating an account to message sellers and track orders. Look through the hundreds of online diamond auctions open to find what suits your style and budget. Click “Place Bid” on the listing page and set your maximum bid. Unless it’s a No Reserve auction, make sure your offer is above the Minimum Bid (Reserve Price) set.  

Check your notifications to see if you’re outbid or win once the diamond jewelry auction ends. If you win, proceed to payment and coordinate shipping with the seller promptly.  

Not interested in the auction side? No problem. Check out Buy it Now diamond jewelry listings and click the green “Add to Cart” price button to proceed to checkout or negotiate a lower price with the “Make an Offer” option.
