Resale & Value
What comes back when you sell. Recovery varies enormously by label, category and condition, it is close to nothing on lab-grown stones, and for many independent brands there is no secondary-market data at all. We say which case applies rather than estimating.

Glossary terms
- Cost Per Wear
- Purchase price divided by the number of times a piece is actually worn.
- Lab-Grown Diamond
- A real diamond made in a reactor rather than mined — and disclosed as such.
- Assay
- The test that determines how much precious metal an item actually contains.
- Troy Ounce
- 31.1035 grams — the ounce precious metals are priced in, heavier than the kitchen ounce.
