Let me set up a booth and sell ya one. If you want quality then shop for things at a quality store. If you want cheaper stuff well the flea market is the place.
Unless you’re very familiar with diamonds, it can be very difficult to distinguish real diamonds from other gemstones. A diamond can look very similar, if not identical, to a cubic zirconia, moissanite or a zircon. So, unless you’re able to get a certificate of authenticity, then it can be difficult to trust the buyer. But even with a certificate of authenticity, it can be difficult to ensure that the certificate itself is not forged.
Personally, if I was at a flea market and found a gorgeous ring from someone’s grandma’s basement (whatever) and I was really in love with it, I would buy it if the price reflected my love of it. I wouldn’t buy it if the seller was charging in inflated price for the claimed diamond in the ring.
So I guess if it’s a rare find and you’re in love with the artifact, then purchase it if you’ll love it even if it isn’t a diamond.
If you are considering selling real diamond jewelry. I’d be wary from purchasing from anyone at a flea market selling authentic diamonds. The flea markets around here sell rubbish from grandma’s basement and counterfit clothes. They certainly aren’t somewhere for you to purchase an expensive diamond piece.
I usually go to flea markets seeking out old furniture, I probably wouldn’t waste time going to a diamond stand there.
edit: we all saw that ‘blood diamonds’ film so get over the diamond hating. Not every diamond is from Africa/blood diamonds. My engagement ring has a Canadian diamond. Australia also produces diamonds. These diamonds are the same quality as any other diamonds.

If I were in a flea market how would I know it was real diamonds and gold?
