It really depends on the Stone(s) that you have. Diamonds will always demand a higher price than most because of marketing, other stones, not nearly as much just because color gemstones are more of a collector thing. Now, depending on where you are located, the best outlet for loose gemstones is the TV Shopping area. Shows like Direct Shopping, ACN, and Gem Shopping specialize and make a fortune off loose gemstones. If you want to do a little research for your own satisfaction, I suggest watching Direct Shopping Network. They constantly do loose gemstone shows and they work off a 40% margin...meaning, whatever sale price you see on the screen, their true cost is 40% of that. This can give you a basic idea on what they can sell for.
Some private jewelry stores will buy loose gemstones. Once you get ideas for what you want on them, ask them if they work on consignment. THat can bring you a fast profit. Also, their is a TV Show in Florida ( Gem Auction TV ), they work consignment and have a following. ( You can find them on a Google Search )
Hope this helps

Newspaper Ads, Consignment with a Jeweler, Ebay there are many places to sell diamonds and gemstones, you may want to talk to some local jewelers though and see what you can work out with them as this may be the best place with the highest yield and Security.

Maybe the Diamond Exchange. If not there, then try a pawn shop. I know there is one near Valley View mall and Galleria.
