First thing you'll want to look for is the diamond's grading report. This indicates the natural characteristics of the diamond, in terms of the four C's; cut, clarity, carat and color. Do note that it won't provide an actual selling value. Some dealers will call it a certificate, but don't be misled since this name is informal. There are no actual certificate giving bodies at this time.

If you want to get a fair price at all, you also have to get an appraisal. You need the appraisal to get an updated monetary valuing at which you can sell your jewels, based on why you need to sell it and under what circumstances. You have to explain how and why you are selling your diamonds to the appraiser and what you plan to accomplish. They also need to go through your diamond's grading report if you have it. Given that appraisers don't all come from diamond grading organizations, they have to be provided this information.

Now, you may have tried to buy the most expensive diamond jewelry within your means and spent a large amount of money on it, but it's probably not worth as much as it used to. Inflation affects everything, ...
... even precious metals and stones, and so older diamond jewelry cannot compare in value to newly made jewelry. Given this, you can even expect other precious jewels and high-grade cubic zirconium, to be worth more than your diamond if they are brand new.

If you bought your diamond from a fair dealer, he or she will buy it back or trade it for you for a brand new diamond at a good price. However, even if you made a bad purchase or made a mistake with your dealer, you should not fret. Focus on trying to get as much value as you can back from your purchase.

The actual act of selling the diamond is the same as selling any other secondhand item. Your choices are to try and sell diamond jewelry yourself, or get help from a dealer. You can get a better deal online if you'll handle it on your own. Some people have a talent for getting a good deal, some don't. If you don't have that skill, you can always get professional help.
