Old Mine Diamond E.G.L Certified, Looking for a buyer ASAP?

There isn't a jeweler that will spend $5,000 on a diamond without first seeing it or having the ability to get their money back from escrow if they didn't buy it. So what you should try doing is contacting the non-corporate jewelry stores and ask them if they buy certified old mine cut diamonds. It will save you a ton of gas and money this way. On the off chance you can't find a jeweler who will buy it, I would try using the local Craig's List. Or you can spend a little money and post it in the local paper from Fri-Sun for a couple of weekends in a row. Most people will not buy a high priced item without some research or time to think about it. Others may see your desperation and decide that they can wait out until you drop your price more. Not to mention, that considering the size and clarity shown, the cut must be very poor to only be at an appraised value of $12,000. That's just something else to consider. Good luck.
