Valuing an Emerald Cut

[starman]

I have a fairly large (5+ carat) emerald cut stone for sale. Assuming that I have a GIA cert for the stone, what would be a reasonable expectation of pricing (as a % discount from Rap)?

What color and clarity is that stone,according to G.I.A, If you can give us more information or a scanned copy of the cert,I would be able to tell you how much.Or you can go on the web to different sites compare similar stones and see how much they are being sold for,and expect to be paid less.

5.7 carats
Color G
Clarity VS1
Cut Good
Dimensions 11.7X 8.9 X 6.19

When I look on a site such as Blue Nile, the prices tend to be about 30% discount from Rap. What kind of discount can I expect from that number?

 

[diamondsman]

It depends who buys it from you,
Most would want to give around 40-50% off rap.
are you selling, or just inquiring?

Just inquiring on behalf of a family member...thank you.
