I have a diamond I bought for a marriage proposal. Well....things turned sour and I'm stuck with a diamond. Wondering what to do?
I bought it on b2cjewels.com and took it to a trusted dealer and everything checked out.The diamond is what it's supposed to be. I'm past the 1 month return policy though.
Stats (GIA):
Carats: 1.50
Clarity: FL
Color: F
Cut: Ex/Ex/Ex Fiery Ideal Cut 1.8 HCA
Flourescence: Medium Blue.
I paid $16,990. Online pricing services suggest it should be $19k online or $24k at a jeweler so I don't believe i got ripped off, and $11.4k selling to jeweler or $16.2k private party.
I went to an online diamond buyer (wpdiamonds.com) and they offered me $9.5-10.5k for it which feels pretty bad but confirms the online trade-in price range. Not looking to take a $6k+ loss.
Any advice? Should I hold it for investment value? Will I have luck selling it private party? I hope to get married someday but have to meet someone new first...not sure if I should sit on it but taking a huge loss sounds like a bad idea too. How do you even goo about getting a good private party deal? What would you do?
