Hi I am new here and I recently acquired an old heirloom from my great aunt in Brasil. I was wondering about what the price range would be so here are the specs

    shape old miner cut

    diameter 11.30-10.78mm

    depth 7.20mm (65.2%)

    gridle slightly thin to thin

    clarity SI1

    color I

    weight 5.35 carats


It is a platinum ring and unfortunately the diamond does not have any type of certificate. Another question I have is that do auctions for diamonds taking place in Europe generally give a higher selling price? My jeweler friend once told me that, but I want to make sure. Thanks for reading this post and helping me out.

He hei! No, I am not going to venture and put a price on this. David Atlas ("Old Miner" is his pricescope avatar) is the old cut diamonds specialist here. You may want a professional appraisal on the piece, and he would be one person you may want to contact (PM and/or email) out of all Pricescope.

Your idea to have this piece auctioned seems right and the ring may add value to the stone beyond the clarity-color-cut trio. Not a simple matter. A large old cut with high color and clarity is not at all a frequest encounter and these stones are quite fashionable. Such details and value factors are best identified by an specialized appraiser. Not much I can say from this other side of the screen

Dave Atlas would be the resident "old cuts" expert here on the Forum. He is nationally known and highly respected. You can contact Dave at:

The stone and ring sound fabulous!! You would definitely want this piece appraised and authenticated!!

Why use a big word when a diminutive word would be succinct!
