Answer: G'day Liza and many thanks for your query and your patience, as after the recent storms here in Australia, we have only just got our telephone lines back on - and Internet access.
It is against the law for me to make a recommendation as to Value because I can't see it, feel it, measure or test the item in question. You can however make a comparison by looking at prices on eBay...

But there is one thing you should take into account.
All around the world, Jewelers and Gemologist and Valuers grade diamonds by their LACK OF COLOR.
While Colored diamonds are expensive and very rare (think Tiffany Diamond in New York) Black diamonds are not, as this goes against the very standards issued by the GIA and other World bodies controlling Valuation Standards.
Some clever jewelers seem to have made Black Diamonds the 'In' thing, yet in truth - if they can't give you a price - who can?
Your Clarity grading of I1-I2 tells the tale, as that shows they are heavily included with carbon spots. This is probably giving the 'Black Color. The Grade 'I' means 'Included' and is the lowest grade a diamond merchant can give.
The more inclusions the less value as mentioned before - Diamonds are graded by 'Lack of Color and as Perfect as possible - the further you move away from those grades - the cheaper the gems become.

Do they alter the price, up or down, depending on the hallmark. The simple answer is yes – and no. It depends on the hallmarks themselves and where they come from.
I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...
Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...
Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women. A large part of this modern upswing in popularity is due to the hip hop culture where large name jewelry items have become the defining fashion in bling. While much of the current fashion is large, bling-style pieces, name jewelry can range from delicate and subtle to big and bold. But name jewelry is also very popular as traditional mothers jewelry. Name rings and name necklaces are by far the most popular items with online stores and retailers… Continue reading Name Jewelry Trends...
