Hello!
I'm having trouble figuring out how to price a pair of trilliant sidestones. I bought my engagement ring through Whiteflash 11 years ago, an emerald-cut diamond with trilliant sidestones in a platinum setting. A couple of years later I reset the center into a solitaire and the trilliants into settings I could loop my diamond studs through. I now want to sell the trilliants (a fellow PSer has asked about them!) and I have no idea what they are worth. Per my WF receipt and Lastovica appraisal, they are 0.50ctw, F/G color and VS clarity.
I contacted WF today and was told that since they were under .30 carats each, they are uncertified and therefore were not priced seperately but included in the price of the setting. She then advised to compare the price of my setting against one of their empty 3stone settings and subtract that from what I paid, to get the price of the trilliants. Hopefully that makes sense!! I paid $2520 for a platinum 3-stone setting with trilliant sidestones. A comparable WF setting is about $1740, so my sidestones could be worth $780.
Basically, I just want to give my fellow PSer a fair and good price.
What do you think??
