Underwriting Standards

Engagement Ring Valuation & Appraisal Drivers

Our private credit underwriting is governed by objective laboratory testing, live wholesale exchange indices, and non-destructive analysis.

Factor 1

Center Diamond 4Cs Analysis

GIA Certificate & Micro-Spectroscopy

The primary center diamond is analyzed for carat weight, color grade (D–Z), clarity grade (FL–I1), and optical cut precision. GIA laser inscriptions are confirmed under 40x magnification.

Underwriting Impact:Establishes baseline collateral value using real-time wholesale indices
Factor 2

Designer House Provenance

Maker Hallmarks (Tiffany, Cartier, Winston, Graff)

Branded engagement rings from storied luxury houses possess strong secondary market demand. We preserve and credit the brand premium rather than pricing the piece as unbranded scrap.

Underwriting Impact:Unlocks 10% to 20% higher loan advances for authenticated signed pieces
Factor 3

Mounting Metal & Side Stone Quality

Platinum 950 & 18k Gold XRF Testing

Mountings are non-destructively tested to confirm solid platinum (PT950) or 18k gold purity. Side accent diamonds are graded for uniform color and clarity matching.

Underwriting Impact:Adds cumulative precious metal and melee diamond value to total advance
Factor 4

Registry Screening & Title Protection

The Watch & Jewelry Register Screening

Prior to loan funding, all high-value diamonds and jewelry items are screened against international stolen property databases and law enforcement registries.

Underwriting Impact:Mandatory protocol protecting borrower title and legal custody

Frequently Asked Questions About Engagement Ring Loans

Essential answers on appraisal methodology, non-recourse structure, laboratory testing, and vault security.

Selling an engagement ring is permanent, emotionally difficult, and often incurs retail depreciation losses of 50% to 70%. A collateral loan allows you to access immediate liquidity to handle personal or business capital needs while preserving ownership and reclaiming the piece once the loan is repaid.
