Granted, it's been 17 years since I've done all my homework on this stuff, but when I bought my diamond I immediately ruled out anything not granted by GIA because they were going to be the harshest graders and I knew at that point that if I'm paying for an F, VVS, Ideal cut diamond that's what I'm going to get. And they'll note any inclusion on the diamond accurately so you'll know if you can hide it under a prong on the setting. We used GSI after we bought it so we could goose its valuation when we looked to insure it. So yeah - it's valuable. But not that valuable. I'd probably take the 'main' stone out, sell it independently, and then sell the setting on its own.

That's 100% true. I had a friend (not named Jared) that was in the business and he said DeBeers is sitting on millions of stones. I don't remember the exact percentage of the diamond market they controled, but it was in the 80-90% range. Since then, the mines in Canada and Australia have broken away and the prices have gone down.
