Selling your jewelery on consignment is tricky, Being a silver and gold collector Ive met more stores who will sell your stuff 20-30% over what they give you. Bottom line is take the time to get it appraised so you know what you got then start asking shops what they will settle for your jewelery.

However, more to the point, selling anything on consignment means you give the merchandise (in this case, jewelry) to another person or store to sell for you. Once the items sell, you get paid. The store that sells it will charge some kind of fee.

Is selling a diamond safe by selling on consignment?

If you own a diamond that you want to sell through consignment, best practices dictate that you provide the cosigner with a copy of your GIA evaluation of the diamond, which documents its unique properties. The GIA certificate will support the asking price, and will be a value add to the buyer. As well, check with your insurance coverage, to verify that your policy will cover the gem while on consignment. As well, review your consignment owner's insurance to verify that your gem is covered. If by 'safe' you imply that you will not be cheated, you are the best judge of safety. Insofar as protecting the diamond's value, you are best advised to follow the guidelines, as above.
