Antique Cut Diamonds

[jlotz]

I am looking for an antique cut diamond (old mine, old european, or cushion cut) in the 5-6 carat range. I am not as concerned about color and clarity, though I do not want a stone with any visible black inclusions. Up to M color and I1 clarity would be acceptable. I want to know what I could expect to pay for such a stone and the potential sources for such a stone. Any information would be appreciated.

That stone should cost less than 3000.00 per carat.

I'm not on vacation....None are even planned.

I leave early from my downtown Philadelphia office each day as a new appraisal business I am a partner in is being formed and created. The new business is:

Diamond and Gem Laboratories of America.

D. Atlas & CO,., Inc. specializes in Old Cut diamonds although we sell only to the jewelry trade. Questions can be answered for anyone as I believe in sharing information.
