I have a Caribe diamond bought from the BX in Tripoli, Libya in the early 1960s. It has the certificate.."White, clean and of AAA-1 quality----guaranteed to be free of any flaws, cracks, carbon spots, clouds or other imperfections when examined under a 10X loupe as established by the FTC-----is registered (I do not know where)--Soooo---Is this good enough to estimate value?--What is "AAA-1" compared to modern grading?--If a jeweler or 3 looked at this diamond and confirmed the certificate is correct, can we determine a value this way?---Hit me with your input! I want to know all I can about this! Thank you, Ruff

Thank you, Ruff Hi ruff, I have read that is an old style of grading diamonds which some have used in the past pre GIA, however for your purposes the best bet would be to get the diamond inspected by an independant appraiser in order to find out what you actually have and give you a value. Here is a tool you can use to find an appraiser in your area. http://www.pricescope.com/appr_list.aspx  Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn |
