Jewelry Trade In FAQs

Yes, Jared's trade-in policy accepts natural diamonds as a discount toward the purchase of new jewelry.

Lab-created stones are formed in a controlled environment whereas natural gemstones are formed by mother nature's natural processes. Both share the same physical, chemical, and visual properties. The lab produced stone is usually free from major defects and can be structurally stronger than its natural counterpart while also achieving optimum color.
