What’s The Difference Between International and Local Diamonds?

Americans, Diamonds And The Global Market
American consumers purchase more diamonds than anyone else in the global market, with just over ⅓ of high-quality gemstones snapped up by American Diamond lovers. Most people don’t know where diamonds are mined and what if any differences exists between the quality of stones. We at M.I. Trading understand the difference and have made it our business to recognizing quality stones. Now, we want to share our knowledge with you, our valued customers to help you make the most informed decisions possible.

Throughout the 20th century, most people would never have thought about Canada becoming an important producer of diamonds however this mentality changed in 1991 when a huge deposit was discovered in Canada’s arctic. These diamonds are still of the highest quality and are of course conflict free making them an attractive alternative for consumers. By 2006, three major mines in Canada’s North were producing over 13 million carats of quality diamonds per year. Placing Canada in the place of the third largest producer of diamonds in the world.

In recent years international diamond production in Canada and Russia has increased dramatically and stones from these regions are even more popular with producers and consumers alike. Each region produces slightly different stones with unique and attractive qualities. Russia has been a major player in the diamond exchange since the mid-1970’s but has a reputation of more pedestrian sales than their competitors.

Canada produces over 13 million carats of quality international diamonds per year.

Unfortunately, there are no major Diamond mining operations in the United States that sell, but there is the unique experience of the Crater of Diamonds National Park in Arkansas. Guests can search for their very own diamond over a 37 ½-acre plowed field that is the eroded surface of the world’s eighth largest diamond-bearing volcanic crater. Your discoveries become your property and guests are able to classify diamonds on their own. If you get lucky and find a diamond that you wish to sell, contact the best Austin diamond buyers, that’s use! We’ll make sure you get the best price possible for your amazing find.

Moran is so personable! Knowledgeable, friendly and kind. He took the time to educate me on different pieces of sterling silver flatware and gold and silver jewelry. He understands sometimes pieces have significant sentimental value, rather than monetary value, and never pressured a sale. Extremely fair and trustworthy. I highly recommend a visit if you are planning to sell anything gold or silver items.

Highly recommend selling jewelry here! Moran was very personable and transparent in his explanation. He offered a very fair price for my gold snake ring. I would definitely go back if I ever have any jewelry I want to sell in the future.

I’ve worked in jewelry for ten years; so, I was skeptical to visit M.I. before meeting him in person, especially since I wasn’t in a rush to sell some belongings… It was an awesome experience!

Moran is extremely intelligent and factual. I appreciated his insight and sound advice. He and the company are very trustworthy based on facts, advice, guidance, and all information. Everyone needs to know about him! Amazing!

Thank you!

After researching, reading reviews & visiting a few "seemingly" good jewelers, I made up my mind and I chose to do business with M.I. Trading. I felt they were above the others in every way.
Other jewelers made me feel like they were doing me a favor even looking at the jewelry which I wanted to sell. Some others low balled me.
I knew I found someone that I could trust when I went to M.I Trading. Moran did not rush me. He explained everything to me and was completely transparent, because he wanted me to make educated decisions. Nobody else even came close to caring about my business, never mind taking the time to educate me.
At M.I. Trading, I had the opportunity to think about what I wanted to do, without any pressure ... and when I decided what I wanted to sell, Moran gave me TOP DOLLAR.
I could not be happier that I found M.I. Trading, a company that I can trust.

Selling jewelry? When you're dealing with something that you are not an expert in, you must trust the people you're dealing with. After visiting more than one person/company, regarding selling my old jewelry, I found and I TRUST
M.I. Trading. Some other places I visited turned their nose up at my beautiful jewelry and wouldn’t even give me a price! I am relieved & elated that I found M.I. Trading.
I not only liked Moran's personality, but his integrity, knowledge and customer appreciation was unsurpassed by any other person I visited/ spoke with.
Moran seeks to educate you BEFORE you, the customer, makes a decision! Moran seeks to treat his customers the way he would want to be treated . . . and he treated me like a VIP....
VERY important to me!
I am just a person selling my jewelry and I was treated like a return customer, like a friend, like I want to be treated ... AND ... I received TOP dollar for my jewelry.
My experience (s) at M.I. Trading could not have been better!

The wife and I had some flatware to sell. We did some research and came up with a bottom price we would accept and a "wishful thinking" price we would really like. After checking reviews, we settled on M.I.Trading and mad an appointment. Upon arrival we met with Moran and he talked us through the process, how it was weighed and answered all of our questions. When it was said and done, Moran came up with a number that was just short of our "wishing" number. We shook hands, he handed us a check and had us on our way faster than I thought. We would highly recommend M. I. Trading.

I recently decided to sell some sterling silver flatware and other items that were languishing in storage, not wanted by relatives.
I found M.I. Trading on line. Mr. Tairy responded to voicemail immediately and met me at his office the next day. He was helpful, professional, and forthright. He evaluated everything and made an immediate offer. I was sorry to see my pretty things go but left within the hour with a cheque for a substantial and fair price.
