Questions about a piece

[EmperorDungBeetle]

Hello im new on the forum here and I have a question about a oval shaped diamond, purchased around 1970' yes that is almost 45 years back from a reputable jeweler here in our country, the diamond diameters are 9.3 mm lenght exact, to a width of around 4.5 to 5 mm.
What i'm pretty sure of is that the dimensions of the stone, are looking fine to me and the color is to what I can see clear white so that must mean F. ?
the piece has no information or anything with it, that i know of, no certificate or a box it was purchased door to door as a set so i dont know if there was anything with it around that time or it might have been lost now.
to my quick research online it's a roughly 2.00 or a little less carat oval shaped diamond
Since I know it's very hard to grade a diamond without a picture all I want to know a price range this stone could be worth, in normal circumstances?
I will be able to provide a picture maybe at a due date or maybe you guys here on the forum have better advice on what I should do to get information about this stone.
all i can say from the eye is; the stone looks fine too me, it 's in good shape to what i can see with the eye, so it might be horrible from inside ?
second question is;
the diamond is part of a bracelet and there are many other smaller sized stones in it, are they worth anything ? they aren't very large i say a few mm at best, 1-2.5 at best, all round shaped.
any information would be heavily apreciated.
Greetings

Unfortunately, there is no way we could begin to give you a price on a stone. Your best bet is to find a reputable appraiser and let them give you a value. Color and clarity must be examined to determine. Diamonds are colored grade in a face down position; the color that they may look in a face up position can be deceiving - both good and bad.

It sounds like it could be a pretty stone - we'd still like to see pictures of it!

I second the suggestion to get an appraisal. That's the only way to find out what you have. From your description, it sounds like an exceptionally long stone (about 2:1 length to width). It's probably not 2 ct. unless it's really deep. I have a 2 ct. oval that measures 9.7 x 7.5.

Pictures would definitely be nice!

It's so pretty! Unfortunately we still can't determine a value for you. You should really take it to an independent appraiser and have them assess it for you. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be more valuable as an entire piece than it would be with the stones removed. Vintage pieces are really popular right now. Do you know anything about the metal used? Is it 14k? plat? because gold and platinum prices are really high right now, another reason it may be worth more as an entire piece than broken apart. yes, the smaller diamonds would have some value sold as a parcel to a jeweler or someone who is starting a project maybe, again though it will really depend on the quality and condition of the stones.

HI:

What do you want to do with the stone? If you want to sell it, you need to tell your appraiser that is your purpose and they can give you an appropriate appriasal: if you want the appraisal for replacement, then the value will be different to reflect that purpose. KWIM? It looks like a vintage piece--do you have a good appraiser local to you?
