I have a .5 carat (appx) emerald cut, yellow gold solitare diamond engagement ring I want to sell, but am not sure what is reasonable to ask for it. It has been worn, but is not damaged.

It was purchased at Helzberg Diamonds, and I believe it was about $1500 originally.

My ring is 1/4 carat, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Do not break the bank to buy this girl a ring. Spend only what you can afford. My husband bought me what he could afford and you know what? I was so thrilled that he wanted to marry me that the ring is the most beautiful one in the world. Someone could offer to trade me for a 3 carat diamond solitaire and I would keep my ring. Why? My engagemtn ring is priceless. No amount of money could replace it. So I say, size doesn't matter. If this girl really loves you, she will be thrilled with anything that you give her. If not, well, she's a golddigger and maybe you should save the ring for someone who would appreciate it more. P.S. Who cares what the family thinks? You are proposing to this girl, NOT her family!

Even if it hasn't been worn, it's still a used ring. You should probably ask no more than $500 for it. What you can do, though, is go get it appraised at the jewelers', and they give you a certificate stating how much it's worth. Then you can base your asking price on that, and when a potential customer tries to bargain with you, just whip out the certificate and show them why you won't go any lower.

The value of any diamond is dependent on four things:
1] cut [ shape]
2] clarity [ clear ]
3] color [ shade, and how dark the shade ]
4] carat [ size ]
Also, the setting can add or detract value.
Get it appraised. [ what did you pay for it? ]

Get it appraised and tell them not to inflate it. Take it back where you bought it and get the color and clarity information, it will help.
If you bought it a while ago it could be worth more.
Search on www.Bluenile.com for a similar diamond and realize you may get just 1/2.

Depends on the color and clarity. I can't imagine at top notch it would fetch over $1500.
