My heart is breaking. The reality is my 2.40 total carat weight EGL international stones have little resale value on TODAYs diamond market ( I have tried to sell privately for 2 years now)
I've been saving for 3.00 total carat studs and I was ready to pull the trigger. as I had a number in my mind my studs would be for trade in value
I sent my current studs to be evaluated for a trade in value and it seems that although the stones are good there is little resale value for 1.21 stones of this nature
The lab grown market has become so popular that it is hard to find buyers for 1.20 size stones
While I knew this was a possible the realty is sad.
So do I purchase Lab grown stones for my dream earrings (with no resale value down the road ) and keep my current studs
Do I sell my current studs for literally 5x less than I paid and add thousands to have my dream earth mined stones
or do I keep and continue to wear my studs and forget about it.
help a girl out .. I am so sad today
