Also, if you buy a diamond from a jeweler for $10,000, how do you know that the jeweler didn't just buy the diamond from someone like the OP for $1,000? Is there any way to tell the difference between a new diamond and a 40 year old diamond? Just curious.
A certain size, cut clarity diamond will have an etched number in the diamond. There was not that capability 40 years ago, plus newer stones have a different cut than older stones
