In the realm of precious metals, diamonds and gemstones are often overlooked treasures. However, many jewelers and pawnbrokers may not realize that these sparkling gems can significantly enhance the value of their refined metals. In this blog post, we'll explore the world of diamond and gemstone recovery, its importance in refining, Mid-States' approach to gemstone recovery, and how it can increase the value of refined metals.
Introduction to Diamond and Gemstone Recovery
Diamond and gemstone recovery is the process of extracting and preserving valuable stones from jewelry and other materials containing precious metals. While refining is often focused on the metals themselves, overlooking the potential value of embedded gems can result in missed opportunities.
The Importance of Gem Recovery in Refining
Gemstone recovery plays a crucial role in maximizing the value of refined metals. Many pieces of jewelry contain diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and other precious stones. Recovering these gems during the refining process adds value to the final product, reduces waste, and maximizes profitability.

How Gemstone Recovery Can Increase the Value of Your Refined Metals
Integrating gemstone recovery into the refining process can significantly enhance the overall value of refined metals. By salvaging diamonds and gemstones from scrap materials, jewelers and pawnbrokers can unlock additional revenue streams and maximize returns on their investments. Jewelry with intact gemstones also typically commands higher prices in the secondary market, further increasing the value of refined metals.
