Are you in Indonesia looking to jual berlian (sell diamonds)? Perhaps you have an engagement ring, loose diamonds, or other diamond jewellery? Getting a fair price based on the diamond's true quality requires expertise. Many Indonesians consider whether to sell locally in Jakarta, Surabaya, or elsewhere, or if traveling to Singapore could provide a better financial result.

This guide explains why Singapore is a highly recommended option for Indonesians selling natural diamonds. Learn about diamond valuation (the 4Cs), the importance of expert appraisal (penilaian berlian), and how to potentially get more Rupiah for your diamonds in 2025.

Why Sell Your Natural Diamonds in Singapore?

Singapore offers crucial advantages over typical local Indonesian options when selling diamonds:

 

1. Professional Gemological Expertise: Access qualified gemologists who truly understand diamonds.

   • ​Mastering the 4Cs: We accurately evaluate Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat Weight, the key factors determining a diamond's international market value.
      

   • GIA & Certificate Awareness: Our team is knowledgeable about GIA and other grading reports. We understand the market value of both certified and uncertified diamonds.
      

   • Proper Equipment: We utilize standard gemological tools for precise assessments, ensuring accuracy.
      

2. Connection to Global Diamond Markets: Singapore acts as a gateway to international buyers.

   • Potentially Higher Prices: Due to greater demand and market access, especially for diamonds above 1 carat or with high GIA grades, Singapore buyers can often offer more competitive prices than might be found locally in Indonesia.
      

   • Interest in Various Diamonds: We purchase loose diamonds, diamond rings, earrings, pendants, antique cuts, and more.​
      

3. Transparency You Can Trust: We prioritize clear and honest dealings.

   • Clear Valuations: Our experts explain how your diamond's specific characteristics influence the price offered.
      

   • Free, No-Pressure Offers: Receive a complimentary appraisal and offer with zero obligation to proceed.
      

   • Secure & Professional Setting: Conduct high-value diamond transactions safely and confidently in Singapore.

 

 

1. ​Buying Certified and Uncertified Diamonds: 

   • With Certificate (GIA, etc.)? Excellent. Certificates provide verified details and can streamline valuation. We offer strong prices for certified diamonds.
      

   • Without Certificate? We can still help! Our experienced gemologists will assess your diamond's quality factors and provide a fair market-based offer. 
      

   • Consignment for High-Value Diamonds: For exceptional diamonds where maximizing value is paramount, consider our diamond consignment service. We act as your agent to sell the diamond in the premium market, which can achieve top prices over time.
      

   • Clear Communication: While our main language is English, our team also speaks Bahasa, Mandarin Chinese and Malay, facilitating clear discussions during your visit.

Diamond Value is Complex: Why Expertise Beats Local Toko Emas

Unlike gold, diamond value isn't just about size. The 4Cs create huge price differences. Selling to a general gold shop (toko emas) in Indonesia might mean the nuances of your diamond's quality aren't fully recognized or rewarded. An expert penilaian berlian (diamond appraisal) in Singapore ensures fair assessment.

​

Is Traveling from Indonesia to Singapore Worth It for Diamonds?
 

For valuable diamonds (e.g., over 1.0 carats, good quality grades, certified stones, significant jewellery pieces):

• The potential price uplift in Singapore can be substantial.

• Expert grading ensures you're offered a price reflecting true quality.

• High-value transactions benefit from Singapore's secure environment.
   

A short flight from Indonesia could significantly increase the Rupiah you receive.
