I have a loose 1.17 Carat Round Brilliant Diamond recently graded by GIA.
I have read Neil's blog on selling diamonds, but still not sure where to start. The local shop suggested I have it graded by GIA so as not get taken advantage of. The grading shows that it is much higher quality then they were estimating.
1.17c, E, VS1, Good cut, polish is very good, fluorescence none.
How do I find a fair-market price to sell? I don't need to get top dollar, just a fair price. I have tried the diamond calculators online and it ranges from $6,000-$13,000. That is a really large range. Similar stones on Ebay are $6,600-10,000. The first shop offered $4,500 on the spot without it being graded yet. That would have been a steal for them. I don't know a lot, but I am quickly learning about diamonds.
