what can I expect?

[flash407]

I''m needing to redo my wedding ring and am thinking of trading in my stone. It''s a GIA certified diamond we purchased 11 years ago.

shape: round/brilliant
measurement: 7.61-7.69-4.62
weight: 1.63
depth: 60.4
table: 59
girdle: thin to medium, faceted
culet: very small
finish:
polish: good
symmetry: very good

clarity grade SI2
color grade: J
flourescence: medium blue

we paide $6850 11 years ago for the stone. What can I expect to get for it as a trade in? We''re looking to get a 2.5-3.5 oval or cushion cut in its place.

This looks like a great forum but my intimidation level is pretty high!

Thanks, Jenny

Hi Jenny, welcome. Rich Sherwood has an excellent thread on what to expect when selling or trading in a diamond.

I''m going to have to continue to ask the stupid questions......the article was mainly about resale. I''m not wanting to "resale" my stone, just trade it in (which sounds the same but I don''t think it is). How do you go about determining the wholesale price of a stone?

Flash, not a stupid question. Just a question with no right answer. In this one Denverappraiser tries to give some insight.
