India is a nation which has made gold and jewelry intricate aspects of their culture and tradition. Weddings and celebrations are occasions to show off family wealth in the form of gold and jewelry. This tradition and culture are the reasons why a big share of the annual gold is being siphoned to India. With diamonds one can find the most stunning pieces in the form of Indian diamond jewelry.

Any jeweler and jewelry aficionado knows that India is the home of the most elaborate and world renowned designs of jewelry. It is most especially noted for its rustic designs that make use of a lot of materials like woods, metals, ceramics and colored precious gems, especially the pricey diamonds. Among the most popular and touted Indian jewelry are bangles and world-famous designs called Kundan, Meena and Jadaujewelry.

That's not to say, though, that someone who owns Indian jewelry won't ever think of selling it. When the need arises, one might start looking for a place that accepts ex jewelry for sale. There are many reasons why one might decide to sell a valuable piece of jewelry, but more often than not, emergency expenses are the foremost reasons for the sale.

Anyone who wishes to buy this famous Indian jewelry must be cautious when it comes to jewelry with thick walls due to enamels. The thickness of the walls may conceal the actual carats of the gold. Normally, the thicker the walls the lesser is the gold. The same caution holds true if you want to sell jewelry and you're thinking, "I want to sell my diamond ring". You can never be complacent.

Carat weight and the quality of diamonds are the most important determinants of the price value of the Indian diamond jewelry. As far as the high end products are concerned, the value of the diamonds remains to be more important rather than gold. Price of diamonds depends on the four C's" clarity, carats, cut and color. For the white diamonds, the whiteness and purity mainly determine quality of diamonds.

Do you have rare diamonds you wish to sell, too? Well, there are stores that actually buy such. However, there is a process that must be followed before a sale could be made.

Before buying Kundan, Meena and Jadaujewelry with diamonds, the uncut diamonds called parav/polka must be appraised for their value. In determining the weight of the diamond, several things need to be considered, including the size, number of pieces, as well as the thickness of the uncut diamonds. Meanwhile the clarity can determine the purity of diamond using a 10X magnified eyeglass. Black tarnish has the least value, white spotted fetches a medium price and the clearest diamonds are the most expensive.

The unparalleled uniqueness and ornate designs of Indian jewelry makes it very popular worldwide. With diamonds, what else can one expect from Indian diamond jewelry being a cut above the rest? So if you plan to buy diamonds, make sure you choose a diamond using the usual standard, the 4 Cs. Alternatively, if you're selling jewelry or diamond jewelry, the same standard will be in place to ensure that no one gets duped.
