Hi everyone!
I found this rough diamond necklace on Abijoux jewelry site. I’m looking for a present. So, I wonder, how much are rough diamonds worth? 16.31 carats is quite a lot, isn’t it? Is EUR 250 the right price for this necklace? Do you think I could get a better deal somewhere else? Thanks!
Edgar
Dear Edgar,
These rough diamonds aren’t really worth much. Of course, rough diamonds can be very expensive but not in this case. You see, only the lowest-quality diamonds (so-called industrial grade diamonds) are used for making such necklaces. And industrial grade diamonds are very, very cheap.
They also do look rather ugly. I think it’s a bit strange to use them for making a necklace or any other piece of jewelry.
It doesn’t really matter whether it is 16, 20 or even 30 carats in this case. As I said before, they are extremely cheap. 250 for this necklace is a rip-off.
Rough diamond necklaces cost around $20 – $30. Here is the one I found on Etsy. You can find them even cheaper than this.
