Loose diamonds are simply polished diamonds that have not been mounted, that is, they have not been fixed into a setting like a ring, earring or necklace. Loose diamonds have become a hot commodity, as more customers are seeking unique, custom designed jewelry that reflects their personal style. Loose diamonds are also a great investment.
Loose diamonds can be bought through online sites, at auction or even in retail jewelry stores. However, if you use these methods to purchase loose diamonds you run the risk of paying too much or buying a product that is different from what is pictured online. At Modell, we have over four generations and 100 years in the diamond importing and cutting industry. Learn about the 4 C’s of diamond buying here.
While we offer our diamond website, ModellDiamonds.com, where clients can browse our extensive inventory of loose diamonds and gold, platinum and diamond jewelry, we conduct face to face buying and selling transactions. It’s important that our clients have the ability to inspect our merchandise in person, ask questions and understand exactly what they’re purchasing.

When purchasing loose diamonds, the more of a paper trail the diamonds have, the better. Be sure to ask if the diamond has any certifications such as GIA certifications, laser inscriptions or other ways to determine the quality or provenance of the diamond. Certification can help appraisers more easily determine he real value of loose diamonds when they are purchased, or when you decide to resell them.
