Can you post more photos? I may scrap my previous plans for this.

I was thinking where was this a couple months ago when my center was loose! I was happy that there weren’t more pics so it wouldn’t make me long for what could have been a bigger diamond. No no... must not be greedy.

Seriously! I just bought 5 smaller OECs and was like, darn I should have waited.

Should we both start over?

Lol! It’s tempting and I very well may do so... I swear being cooped up at home has increased my jewelry shopping.

 

[MelloYello8]

I wish I was in the market! I almost want to make excuses to have it. Curiously what’s the size of the setting it’s in?

 

[Blingloverbyday]

@JenRN it looks like you have a lot of interest If you post a listing on Loupetroop.com, those interested would be able to contact you.

 

[pearaffair]

Would love to see the video, couldn’t find a LT posting though...

This is priced much lower than I expected it would be.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

I personally think this is priced too low @JenRN and I would encourage you to look at comps for OEC diamonds of this size.

You don't want to sell yourself short!

Fully agree. It's one thing to price to move, but this selling yourself short.

Comps, but please note I cannot see your stone performance or faceting did to the pictures to really judge. Yours is a grade lower in color than some, but take a look at these. Please consider sending your stone to GIA as well. I think Grace would get you a better return than you are currently looking at now.

Smaller, but an M and EGL, which accounts for the lower pricing.

A little bigger by 10 points and GIA, one color higher, more ornate mounting, but:

2.88ct Edwardian Old European Cut Diamond Solitaire, GIA L VS1

Beautiful, romantic, and incredibly feminine solitaire from the Edwardian era. The diamond, a great size at just shy of 3cts (and 9mm!), has a stunning facet pattern - bubbly under the table, with lots of fire and life. Beautiful and classic Edwardian design details on the setting - graceful...

Smaller, at 2.5 and in a target setting, but same color and clarity. Unsure what lab graded it.

Or talk to Adam at Old World Diamonds. Maybe he can help you.

Here is a loose diamond that is nearly the same size. Granted it does have higher color than yours but this is just the loose stone with no setting

2.77ct OEC Diamond GIA K VS1

Bubbly and flowery facets on this old European cut diamond! She is totally charming, with so much brightness and life to the stone. Lovely stone, and a great size too! Would make for a great piece of jewelry.Diamond measures **GIA link to follow

Very large difference in price. I wonder if OP is better off just consigning with Grace?

The only thing with consigning is obviously you are paying a consignment fee, on items valued $17,000 and up it is a flat 15%.

Still that would be more than 9K.

Agree. Send it to GIA and see what happens, then see if Grace will list. This price doesn't account for the true stone value in my view and gives the setting away at no cost.

 

[dk168]

Good to know I was not alone in thinking the price is too good to be true, as in way too low for its size even if the colour is an "M"!

However, I have way under-sold a number of jewellery and non-jewellery items in the past, so I can't talk!

Good luck OP with the sale, and I hope someone will snap it up real soon!
