We buy what the world’s
finest jewellers sell.

It takes four steps. First, you tell us what you have — a photograph and a certificate number are usually enough to start. Second, we provide an indicative range, normally within 24 hours, based on the documentation and current market levels. Third, we inspect the piece physically, either at our Dubai office, through the broker nearest you, or via insured shipping that we arrange and pay for. Fourth, we make a firm written offer; if you accept, funds are wired the same day. You are under no obligation at any stage, and there is no charge if you decide not to proceed.

There is no fixed percentage, and any buyer who quotes one is pricing their business model rather than your asset. A GIA-certified diamond in strong demand may realise 50–70% of its original retail price; a signed Cartier or Van Cleef piece can reach 60–80%; a classic Hermès Birkin frequently exceeds what it cost new; a mass-market gold chain is worth its metal content and nothing more. What drives the figure is the international wholesale value of the specific item, not a formula applied to the receipt.

Use GIA’s own Report Check database, which is free and public. Enter the report number printed on the document — ten digits on current reports, sometimes seven to nine on older or small-stone reports — together with the carat weight, and GIA returns the grading record held in its archive. Compare every line against your document: shape, measurements, carat weight, colour, clarity, cut, polish, symmetry and fluorescence. Then check the report number laser-inscribed on the diamond’s girdle with a 10x loupe. If the paper and the database disagree in any particular, stop and seek independent advice. Our verification tool passes your query straight to GIA; we never hold or mirror their data.

Since 1983. The house was founded in Dubai by two families already active in the Gulf gem trade, at the point when the city was beginning its transformation into a global centre for physical gold and diamonds. We have traded continuously through every cycle since — the 1997 Asian crisis, 2008, the 2020 shutdown and the volatility that followed. Longevity in this trade is not a marketing line; it is the reason counterparties on four continents accept our word on a stone before they see it.

Entirely. We are a private-treaty house: nothing is listed, auctioned, catalogued or advertised. Your name is never attached to an item we acquire, and we do not discuss client holdings with third parties, including other clients. Estate and family-office work is conducted under written confidentiality as standard, and we are accustomed to working alongside lawyers and trustees who require it.

By your choice of international wire transfer, escrow, or certified bank draft; in Dubai, cash settlement is available within the regulatory reporting thresholds. We settle in AED, USD, EUR, GBP or CHF. Funds are released the same day an offer is accepted for domestic transactions, and on verified receipt for international ones. We do not offer consignment or deferred payment — when we buy, we buy outright, and the money moves immediately.
