Why buy second-hand diamond rings
The right engagement ring doesn't need to be brand-new. Carefully selected and lovingly restored, second-hand diamond rings provide an alternative that's just as romantic and thoughtful. When you find one that's in nearly new condition, you could make big savings on that perfect engagement ring.
It's easy to overlook pre-owned diamond rings without knowing the perks of buying one. We think there are plenty of reasons to buy a second-hand engagement ring, so we've listed a few here.
One-off, original pieces
Our selection gives you exclusive access to pieces you might not see elsewhere on the market. Since no second-hand diamond ring is the same as another, you could even find an elaborate piece with a fascinating history.
From contemporary rings to restored vintage pieces, buying pre-owned means you can access rare, alternative and authentic rings. Much like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after a second-hand diamond ring in our collection has sold, you won't be able to get it again. No matter its size, origin or diameter, each used diamond ring is something truly unique.
Lower prices for quality stones
Diamonds are cheaper second-hand. When you can't afford to compromise on the quality of the gemstone but are still looking for a cost-effective option, buying a second-hand diamond ring is the most intuitive choice.
At H&T, we have real diamond rings to suit a wide range of budgets, all inspected and approved by our specialists. No matter how flexible or strict your requirements are, we're confident that our selection of second-hand sapphire and diamond rings will step up to the mark. If you'd like to combine diamonds with the finest gold, 22ct jewellery promises something truly exquisite.
Sustainable, safe approach
Pre-owned gemstones are ideal for those trying to make the least harmful choice for the planet. Unfortunately, the practice of diamond mining displaces natural environments and can disturb ecosystems within them. Buying a second-hand diamond ring means that you can prolong the lifespan of a ring harvested years ago and promote a circular economy.
We encourage our clients to consider buying a second-hand engagement ring for this reason. There's a good chance that it will still look just like it did when it was brand-new. We have an incredible selection of eco-friendly men's and women's jewellery, epitomised by our second-hand diamond rings.

When it comes to luxury watches, Rolex is a standout name with an unparalleled reputation. With a rich heritage of expert artistry, innovative features, and breathtaking designs, it comes as no surprise that Rolex has created some of the most sought-after timepieces on the market.
If you want to add luxury to your collection, then why not do it with men’s and ladies’ second-hand Rolex watches? This is a sustainable way to wear these exquisite pieces as well as coming in at a favourable price point. Browse our range of used Rolex collections, such as Submariner, Daytona and Datejust to find the right fit for you.
History of Rolex watches
Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf realised his dream to create precise and elegantly designed wristwatches in 1905. He partnered with his brother-in-law Alfred Davis to form Wilsdorf & Davis in London. Three years later, Rolex was listed as a brand name, and the first Switzerland-based office was opened in La Chaux-de-Fonds, placing the watchmaker at the heart of chronometer creativity. Operations were moved to Geneva in 1919.
Since then, Rolex has consistently pursued innovation and the highest excellence for its timepieces. 1926 the company created the world’s first waterproof watch, the Rolex Oyster. Its water-resistant credentials were proven when swimmer Mercedes Gleitze adorned one as she conquered a 10-hour swim across the English Channel. The watch remained in perfect condition. Over the years, Rolex models have become increasingly advanced.
The link between technological innovation and human exploration has inspired some of the most striking pieces. The Oyster Perpetual Explorer is one example of this connection. Launched in 1953, this Rolex was a celebration of the successful climb of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
Similarly, the Submariner, the first diver’s watch to be water-resistant up to 100 metres, showcases how timepieces can mark key moments and become essential tools in the world of discovery. To this day, Rolex continues to impress with its watches. Filmmaker James Cameron wore the Rolex Deep Sea as he plunged to the depths of the Mariana Trench in his first solo voyage to this part of the Pacific in 2012.
The watch certified water resistance of up to 12,000 metres, setting the record for a diver’s watch. These incredible achievements have helped Rolex cement itself as one of the forever greats in watchmaking while being one of the world's most recognisable brands.
Our pre-owned Rolex collections
We have an array of used men’s and women’s Rolex watches for sale across several iconic collections. Each has been intricately designed, so you can stand out from the crowd when sporting one. Browse our pre-owned Rolex watch collections and find one that suits your style.
Oyster Perpetual
First launched in 1931, this timepiece still takes centre stage for many watch lovers. Today, a pre-owned Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch pays homage to the original release by utilising key features such as self-winding movement, waterproof casing and breathtaking accuracy.
Submariner
A second-hand Rolex Submariner is a fine option for those looking for a new everyday wristwatch or those looking to bolster their watch collection. Designed to look great and meet the demands of those at sea, this watch is both water-resistant and powered by automatic movement to maximise its reliability.
Datejust
Featuring a stainless steel case and bracelet, a second-hand Rolex Datejust is the ideal companion for men’s and women’s wrists. It’s made with the finest materials and has a timeless design, making this watch a fine investment that can remain in the family for generations.
Daytona
A second-hand Rolex Daytona watch is the perfect timepiece for enhancing any outfit. It features an understated design that is both elegant and timeless, which is why it’s one of the most sought-after watches in the world.
Why choose a pre-owned Rolex watch?
Although second-hand watches from popular brands such as Rolex are pre-loved by all of their owners, so many pieces in our store look as stunning as the day they were first bought. Rolex watches are also made with high-end materials, and the fine Swiss craftsmanship ensures they can withstand the test of time.
One of the main benefits of purchasing pre-owned Rolex watches is that they come with a lower price tag. This means that you’ll enjoy a wider selection of timepieces within your budget so that you can find the right one for you.
Investing in a pre-owned Rolex watch is a savvy choice. These timepieces become rarer as they get older, which means they will likely hold their value should the time come to sell them.
