how much is a 1/2 carrot coloress diamond worth these days??

Answer 1

I was very interested in the fact that you used the correct term
"colorless" and can forgive your misspellings.

The truest requirement for a diamond that is not colored is that it be colorless. Of course, cut, clarity and carat weight figure importantly into the equation so I can't give you even a ballpark estimate because I don't know how perfect you want your diamond to be. Please go to a GIA jeweler who will be only to willing to show you stones in a number of different categories and price ranges which can better help you get an answer to your question.

Answer 2

If it is truly colorless, it has more value. THere is a color scale A, B, C and so on. Yellow diamonds are the cheapest, colorless are the most expensive.

The other scale, the cut is as follows
I (Included), SI (Slightly included), VS (very slightly included) and F(Flawless). A half carat flawless diamond would probably be worth several thousand dollars. The very high end stores like tiffanys usually only sell up to the VS grade diamonds. If you go to the mall jewlers, the ones you see advertised on tv most, all their stuff is usually I quality, basically garbage. A half carat I2 loose diamond can be had for probably 300$ wholesale.

Answer 3

You have to get it appraised. Could be worth anything. Depends on a lot more then just size and color.
I paid 10K for a 1.12 carrot diamond with good cut, almost colorless, only small particles in it that can only been seen with a jewelers loop.

Answer 4

It could range from several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the cut and clarity.

Answer 5

Answer 6
