Removing diamonds from gold, platinum or palladium channel, pave and cluster settings can be a time-consuming process, often resulting in significant breakage. Our state-of-the-art chemical processing facility is able to remove your diamonds quickly and safely.*
STONE REMOVAL IS FREE ON GOLD when the fine metal recovered is AT LEAST 5 oz. ($75 charge for less than 5 oz.)
Please Note: • Stone removal lots must be separate from non-stone lots or additional charges may apply • Platinum stone removals require extra lead time
During this chemical process, the CZs in the parcel get etched (similar to etched glass) and therefore are easily detectable and separable from the diamonds in the parcel. This process is safe for diamonds, but does affect colored gemstones and could permanently damage them. Make sure to have any valuable gemstones removed from your parcel before sending them in.

We can help you separate Lab Grown Diamonds from Natural Diamonds in your melee parcels and jewelry items. Lab grown diamonds have gained popularity in recent years. While they present a great cost-effective alternative to natural diamonds, it is crucial they are identified and disclosed to the consumers when sold. If you are accepting diamond jewelry through upgrades or buy them outright from consumers, the items you buy may feature lab grown diamonds. It is your responsibility to make sure you identify any lab grown diamonds before resale, and we’re here to help!
Our lab grown detection process is quick and reliable and it allows us to detect both CVD and HPHT grown diamonds. The process is safe for all diamonds and precious metals and doesn’t involve any chemicals. To learn more about our lab grown screening service, call 1-800-759-9997, ext. 164
