Hi, I just found this site and it has been very informative. I just acquired an 2.72ct round diamond solitare ring (from within family)and am looking for guidance on apprasials. I took it to two jewelers (local) that took one look at it and comented that the cut is over a 100 years old. My concern is if this ring is an OEC or OMC, where can I get a proper apprasial done by someone who recognizes the value in such an old style cut. I''ll try to post a picture soon, having trouble taking a clear shot. I don''t have dimensional data on this yet.

What I do know at this point:

Carat 2.72 (estimated, still in setting)
Cut Round
Clarity SI1
Color M-N, Hard to tell while in gold setting
Culet Small

Any feedback would be appreciated. I plan on removing it from the current setting and having it remounted as an engagement ring. It was suggested that if I go with a yellow gold ring, to use a platinum setting to hold the diamond to "enhance" the warm color of the stone.
 
Congrats first of all and welcome to PS. You need to take it to an independant appraiser. On the top of PS click on resources, then on appraisers. I love OEC''s and OMC''s so can''t wait to see your stone. If you are near Philly, David Atlas knows the older cuts well, so he''d be the guy I''d go to or send my stone to. Best of luck.

Here are some of the better photos I was able to get without any magnification. Still hard to guage quality while it is in the existing setting.
