The Value Held in an Engagement Ring
Any engagement ring holds both monetary value and sentimental value. Understanding why it holds this worth is essential as you consider parting with it.
- Quality of the Diamond or Gemstone: One of the most significant factors determining the value of an engagement ring is the quality of the diamond or gemstone it features. A well-cut, clear, and brilliantly coloured gemstone can significantly enhance the ring’s value.
- The Metal Used: The choice of metal also contributes to the ring’s worth. Precious metals like platinum and gold are highly valued due to their durability and rarity. The purity of the metal, measured in carats, further influences its market value.
- Craftsmanship: The level of craftsmanship in creating the ring can distinguish an ordinary piece from an extraordinary one. Handcrafted details, intricate designs, and exceptional finishing can all elevate its worth.
- Unique Characteristics: Any unique or historical aspects of your engagement ring can also enhance its value. For instance, if it’s a vintage or antique ring with a rich history, collectors may be particularly interested.

The Challenges of Selling Rings Traditionally
Here are some of the challenges you may encounter when attempting to sell jewellery through traditional methods like auction houses, or high street jewellers:
- Limited market and low demand: The market for antique jewellery is relatively small compared to contemporary pieces. Many buyers specifically look for modern designs, so the pool of interested buyers outside of specific networks may be limited.
- Difficulty establishing accurate valuations: Putting an exact monetary value on antique rings can be difficult and requires specialised expertise.
- High commissions and fees at auction houses: Top auction houses can charge the seller 20-30% or more in buyer’s premiums and commissions. This significantly eats into profits, especially if the ring sells for lower than expected.
- Inconvenient sales channels: Travelling to auction houses or making appointments with various jewellers can be time-consuming and restrictive compared to online sales platforms.
- Buyers seek discounts on antique items: Many buyers expect significant discounts when purchasing antiques and vintage items given their age and previous use, making profits lower.
- Challenges authenticating pieces: Proving the provenance and authenticity of antique rings requires documentation and expert analysis, which can be difficult to obtain. Buyers are wary of fakes.
