Happy Jewelers offers one of the most unique trade-in programs available today. Most jewelers will only allow you to trade-in jewelry that was purchased at their store. At Happy Jewelers, you can trade-in any piece of jewelry, diamond or watch, allowing you to utilize the value towards a new piece of jewelry or cash.

Your trade-in value is based on the grading of the jewelry item and its original purchase price, provided the jewelry item is not damaged. The full trade-in value will be applied towards your new purchase. In the event, your new purchase is less than the trade-in value, a store credit will be issued.

As independent certified gemologists, with accreditation through the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), Newport Jewelers offers the necessary skill and expertise to render valuation reports for your jewelry items. We have been educated in both gemology and the methodologies of jewelry and diamond appraisals.

Our appraisals are based on fair market value to replace your jewelry item. We also work very closely with accredited gemological laboratories (GIA, EGL, AGS), that are equipped with gemological testing equipment necessary to provide accurate identifications.

Certifications of diamonds are used to scientifically determine information on a diamonds shape; clarity, color, cut, carat weight, proportions and finish. Understanding the grading system of a diamond is important to its valuation.

Diamonds are certified based on what has commonly been referred to as the 4-C’s; Color, Cut, Clarity & Carat:

Color; a standard that refers to a diamond’s lack of color, grading the whiteness of the diamond. A color grade of D is the highest possible, while Z is the lowest.

Cut; the cut of a diamond is it’s most important characteristic, having the greatest overall influence on a diamond’s beauty. Generally speaking, it’s sparkle.

Clarity; is a measure of the number and size of any tiny imperfections that occur in almost all diamonds. Many imperfections are microscopic, while others are visible to the naked eye and will affect a diamond’s beauty.

Carat; specifically is a measure of a diamond’s weight, but by itself does not accurately reflect a diamond’s size. To best understand a diamond’s size we look at distance in millimeters across the top of the diamond and the diamonds cut grade. Simply put, it is a way to measure the weight of the diamond.

These four factors play a significant role in the valuation of a diamond.

Happy Jewelers, along with the global diamond industry, has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict diamonds. Through measures such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds from mine to market, the industry in partnership with the United Nations, governments, and non-governmental organizations, polices diamond exports to prevent the trade of illegal diamonds. In April 2003, congress and President Bush passed a law adopting the Kimberley Process that requires all US diamond retailers to buy diamonds from manufacturers who have documentation warranting that the merchandise was obtained through legitimate channels. Today, the US Customs Service actively enforces the Kimberley Process requirements as diamonds enter American ports.

We only purchase diamonds through the largest and most respected suppliers who, like us, proudly adhere to and enforce the standards established by the Kimberley Process. All diamonds purchased from Happy Jewelers are warranted to be conflict free. If one of our suppliers was ever found to be in violation of that process, we would immediately sever that relationship. We will continue to support and promote any process that works to uphold legitimacy in the diamond trade.
