25 Cool Holiday Presents to Buy – after selling your uncool diamond
The holidays are upon us and guess what? Nobody wants to hear about how “the economy is killing you.” They want loot, and lots of it. Even the naughty ones are expecting a lot more than a lump of coal in their scurrilous stockings.
So where are you supposed to drum up the cash to satiate these little gingerbread cookie and eggnog gobblers? Well, you could sell your house, your car, your soul to Santa, or…
Sell your diamond. If you’ve got diamond jewelry lying around (or just handfuls of loose diamonds), you’ve got a potential mound of cash at your disposal. Selling these oh so precious gemstones at a pawn shop or at a jeweler’s old timey shoppe will leave you sorely disappointed, like Frosty the Snowman on the first day of spring. The only place to fulfill your cash wish list and get the merry most for your diamonds is at Diamond Lighthouse. We illuminate the diamond market for you (like Rudolph!) and help find you the best price for your diamond, from the North to South pole. Find out more here.
Now on to this season’s top goodies.
