Hi, I posted this in the antique jewelry forum - but then I realized that perhaps it would be better to post here since it is really a diamond question.
I have a 2.8 ct old cut stone in a custom (non-original) setting. The setting came from and is marked by a very upscale local jeweler. It could be either an engagement ring or a cocktail ring. My husband bought me a beautiful ring last year - and so I no longer wear this one. I don't have a certificate for the center stone, just an appraisal form the jeweler who did the setting. The color is a bit warm but still white. Any recommendations for consigning it? Should I have the stone sent to the GIA? Should I have it recut? I was considering consigning online with Fay Cullen www.faycullen.com.. Does anyone have any experience with her? Thank you for any advice you can offer.
