Hello,

    Why don't you put it in a piece of jewelry and sell it? I am
    assuming of course that you are a jeweler. If you aren't a jeweler
    and you are on the site then you must know jewelers or at least have
    an interest in the topic. If that is the case, then perhaps you can
    have someone you know make a piece for them to sell in their shop,
    then you could get a better return on the stone and your friend could
    make some $ too. 

    I have said this before, when a customer or person not in the trade
    wants to sell a loose diamond don't expect to get a price of even
    wholesale value from someone in the business. There is no need in
    this day and age for a jewler to buy a diamond to put in stock. You
    can make a call and get whatever you want in a matter of a day or
    two. 

    Your diamond although a great clarity is low in color. Are you
    outside of the states? I have had several customers over the years
    who had real great clarity low color diamonds [ L, M NOP] who were
    from India and Pakistan. I think that perhaps the market there is
    more accepting of what I call tone in Diamonds. This is not something
    that is very well accepted here in the states, at least not by
    clients I have had who are looking to buy. 

    So, I go back to my suggestion that you create a piece that really
    compliments the size and color of the stone, put a 1.35 0r 1.45 mark
    upon the stone and sell it. 

Good luck, Dennis
