Hi Sarah,
Typical resale value of commercial diamonds (like the one described) is about 19.7% of the originally purchase price. Because labs could soft-grade their diamonds, you could be looking from anywhere from $500-$1500 for this diamond depending on its actual quality. On average, you’re looking at around a two grade bump on clarity and color. Have a great day!
