Are diamonds in watches worth anything?

1 Answer
Are diamonds in watches worth anything?
Whether diamonds in watches are worth anything varies. Diamonds used as jewels in the movement systems of watches are often not high-quality gemstones and generally won't be worth much on their own. However, diamonds used as embellishments on the bracelet, case or dial may, in some cases, be of high enough quality to have some value. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler can assist you with determining how much a particular watch or the diamonds it contains may be worth. Find a wide variety of diamond watches on 1stDibs.
