Value of a Black diamond?
Okay, ive inherited a blackdiamond ring. its certified, this is what the paper says:
Natural Diamonds, round brilliant,1.2 carats,clarity I-3, color black (ce)
14k gold ring, total weight of gold is 4.2 grams
Here is a picture:
What would this be worth if i was looking to sell it?
You have inherited an oddity. Black diamonds are rarely cut and polished, which is why you are having difficulty finding pricing on it online. Most diamonds are black or brown, and are used for industrial purposes as abrasives. While some can be attractive, they are generally not particularly valuable. Flaws in diamonds -- called "inclusions" -- can be cracks and fissures in the stone (even inside the stone), twinned crystals which appear white or cloudy inside a clear stone, or foreign matter trapped inside the crystal. Often this is carbon that does not convert to diamond. This foreign matter is not the same as a coloring agent -- for example trace elements of, say, cobalt, might turn a diamond blue without effecting the clarity of the diamond. Black diamonds contain enough foreign matter to "occlude" transparency and blacken the stone. As a novelty, you might be able to sell it for a few hundred dollars online to someone who is just interested in a curiosity -- a black diamond, cut and polished for jewelry. As a gemstone itself, I would guess that market price (for only the stone) might be $100 to $200. I-3 is the lowest clarity grade for a gem quality diamond, but I don't think a diamond could be black and have a higher clarity grade. The cut of the diamond will have little impact on value because cut is designed to enhance the light refractive qualities of the stone -- a well cut diamond will maximize this property. In a black stone, the shape and proportion (in other words "the cut") will not change the price. Gold is something like $40 per gram to a jeweler.
