With uncut stones valuation is always difficult for a non professional unused to buying uncut stones on a daily basis. The value is not going to be very much with stones that small as to produce a finished brilliant they will lose a minimum of 40% of their weight even if they are an ideal shape for cutting and a great deal more if they are not. Add to this the cost of cutting the stones and you will see that their value is going down compared to what they will yield as cut stones. This comment has not even taken into consideration their color and what inclusions they may have. All in all I would not worry as to their value which is going to be very little and just keep them as interesting specimens to show your friends what an uncut diamond looks likeNagarajnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20396927.post-45715927152490822462009-06-13T12:14:39.657+05:302009-06-13T12:14:39.657+05:30Lab created diamonds are usually so close to the r...Lab created diamonds are usually so close to the real thing no one can tell the difference. I used to work at a jewelry store that sold all lab created stones (Russian lab diamonds) in high-quality 14K settings. If the setting is of good quality, and the stone is well-cut, it will look just as good if not better than a natural diamond. Lab created stones are also nearly as hard as natural diamonds (diamonds have a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, and lab diamonds are about a 9.5). As long as you keep the size believable (nobody's gonna believe you have a 4 carat diamond ring unless you're related to Oprah. lol), no one will even question it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
