Hello,
I have a 2.84 (loose) Old Mine diamond that I would like to sell. The diamond has been graded by E.G.L as 2.84 carats, S-T in color, and Vs2 clarity. I am looking for a buyer for the diamond. I recently lost my job and I am in need of selling it for a fair price. The diamond has been appraised for over $12,000, However, I will sell the diamond for as little as $5,000. I have several pics of the diamond as well as a pic of the certification. If anyone can point me in a good direction in where I can find a buyer, that would be most helpful. I have tried many online places such as jewelry websites that have classifieds as well as ebay. Most people interested are either scammers wanting me to use an (escrow service), or possible jewelers who want me to send the diamond to them so they can look at it. I don’t want to send my diamond anywhere unless it is to a buyer.
Thanks for taking the time to read this

There isn’t a jeweler that will spend $5,000 on a diamond without first seeing it or having the ability to get their money back from escrow if they didn’t buy it. So what you should try doing is contacting the non-corporate jewelry stores and ask them if they buy certified old mine cut diamonds. It will save you a ton of gas and money this way. On the off chance you can’t find a jeweler who will buy it, I would try using the local Craig’s List. Or you can spend a little money and post it in the local paper from Fri-Sun for a couple of weekends in a row. Most people will not buy a high priced item without some research or time to think about it. Others may see your desperation and decide that they can wait out until you drop your price more. Not to mention, that considering the size and clarity shown, the cut must be very poor to only be at an appraised value of $12,000. That’s just something else to consider. Good luck.
