    You need to take it to a certified jeweler. Only they can give you a proper estimate. Regardless of size there are many other things that come into consideration like clarity and quality of the stone that affect it’s price.
    Your jeweler should also be able to help you find a good source for selling it.

    If your size is correct–your diamond is 21 carats larger than the Ahmadabad Diamond.

    And, your math is correct–100 carats do equal approximately 20 grams–so my question is, since there are so few diamonds of this size in the world, and ALL of their owners know how to get appraisals and sell them, why would you be trying to do this on YA? Just wondering.

    You should go to a fine diamond specialist.

    Description:
    The Ahmadabad has been graded by the GIA as D-color, VS1 clarity and was accompanied by a working diagram indicating that the clarity is improvable. The gem is an antique pear-shaped brilliant and its weight is 78.86 carats. I have not seen its GIA certificate but I would wager its culet was graded as Extremely Large, as can be seen in the photo above. I am guessing the gem was was more of a double-sided rose cut originally, with a pear-shaped outline, essentially a somewhat flattened briolette. Also, the pavilion mains are horizontally split, a cutting step visible in the above photo. The gem came up for sale at Christie’s in Geneva in November of 1995 when it was bought by Robert Mouawad for $4,324,554.
