want to buy a 10 to 14 carat pear shape diamond,color g to j,clarity vs1 to vs2, carat 12 to 14 .how much will it cost?

[nightmare]

blimey!

Im afraid I'll have to yield to the expertise of Barry, Jan, The Rock or Rhino here. I've never seen or sold anything this big I have to admit!

Rappaport price listing only goes up to about 6 carats, and at THAT size you're looking at a good 30,000 dollars a CARAT. Trade!

So....a 10 - 14 carat pear shaped diamond will be v expensive.

to be fair..once you get to this size though prices aren't calculated in quite the same way cos it's so unusual to find stones of this size - it may be much cheaper than the per carat price would initially suggest, or vastly more expensive. I know where there's a flawless 60 carat pear shaped, but you need to buy the million dollar bra it's attached to!

If you're serious about getting one Im sure I could find a price for you, but hopefully one of the other contributors here will have more info!

cheers

Dear Catsblanche

Just wanted you to know I've deleted your other duplicate post, since the responses are on this one. Good luck in your search.

Cat,

Hire professional assistance.

Stones meeting your description can vary by over $50,000 depending on issues that aren't included in your question. If you're serious about buying such a stone, start with a session at an independent appraiser and devote some energy to searching for the right dealer. A few hundred dollars will go a long way. Seeking free advice on an internet forum is not the best approach.

Cat,

I was searching EBAY for diamonds and can across this one:

If I had millions my wife would own something like this.

sent that link to Mrs Nightmare...her view...? "pretty, but do you reckon you could make it pink?"

women eh?

Night: Funny you mention Pink....I was actually searching for Natural Pink Diamonds when I came across that boulder. Not knowing a lot about "Natural Pink Diamonds" I was surprised of how little of them there are out there. They are beautiful, that is for sure!

Got any scoop on one at a reasonable price?

Oh, and the women thing....Aren't they all the same?

A stone of this size is very rare. It is best to work in person with someone for a stone of this size. Where are you located at? Maybe we could recommend a store for you to go to.

I actually have a small number of natural pink diamonds that I bought som econsiderable time ago - they are gorgeous, but probably not exactly the link you might want (that elusive bubblegum colour)

They're very hard to buy nowadays - basically anyone who gets anything of decent size (above about quarter carat!) simply auctions it - there is little point selling them direct when people will literally fight over them......

Am always on the look out for them - if I find aything really good I'll let you know!

will take a piccy of the ones I have for interest sake - they're pretty tiny sadly, but will make a stunning eternity ring I think!
