Lion and Unicorn Specializes in loose gemstones
Working with an auction house to sell precious gemstones, often referred to as “loose stones”, can be an exceptional opportunity to acquire the highest market price for your precious diamonds, rubies, emeralds, opals, pearls, and almost any variety of valuable stone. Auction houses provide a platform for collectors, gemstone enthusiasts, and jewelers to bid on gems in a competitive marketplace, which can result in “driving up” the price of the gems beyond what they would typically sell for in a retail scenario. If you’re considering selling precious gemstones through an auction house, there are several key considerations to keep in mind.
First and foremost, it is important to carefully research the auction house that you plan to work with. This involves looking at the history of the auction house, the types of gems that they have sold in the past, and the success rate of their sales process. In addition to verifying the “track record” of your preferred auction house, carefully research reviews and testimonials from past sellers and buyers to get a sense of the company’s reputation. Lion & Unicorn has an extensive history of selling loose gemstones at auction, particularly diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and opals.
