What Is This Diamond Worth

Nov. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Everyone wants to know what their diamond is worth.  If it helps anyone with this question come to an intelligent answer on their own without asking it so vaguely then I have fought the good fight.  You need to know the color/clarity and generally speaking whether your diamond is cut well or you may as well ask if it's real or not.  A certified diamond from one of the governing authorities such as; GIA, EGL, or AGS is required... an appraisal after a diamond is set may help but it is not as absolute.

To check the report given to you from:

GIA:  http://www2.gia.edu/reportcheck/index.cfm
EGL:  http://www.eglusa.com/customerlogin.html
AGS:  http://agslab.com/verify_diamond_granding_report.php

Now that you KNOW what your diamond is goto diamonds.net and get the Diamond "RAP" Sheet.  Martin Rapaport is the namesake because he is credited for first producing a diamond price list that was accepted and has been in use many years.  On the price list you will see each page is for a specific shape and size (example Round 1CT).   The columns that correspond to prices are values of X = clarity, Y = color.  Plot your diamond by finding it's color and clarity to get the price per carat.  Now that you have your PPC all you have to do is multiply it by your Carat Weight.  (PPC X CT = TOTAL)
