That gives me a giggle every time I watch that show.

We found a 5 dollar diamond, this is a new beginning. Until next week which is another new beginning lol.

I'd ebay it. Diamond chips don't fetch a lot of money. Most of them end up on the ends of drill bits. I think you'd get more as a jewelry piece than scrap.

Confirmed with Jeweler, diamonds were real. What would be best place to sell?

When it was confirmed with the jeweler, you surely asked what it was worth....what was his reply ?

Anyone else notice the OP hasn't even logged in after
one day after signing up? No answers to anyone's questions about this piece.

Can't say as I blame them one bit considering the rude responses many posted.
Some decent folks were actually helpful to the OP, others...well, they certainly didn't
follow Dizzy's Super-Simple, Universal Rule of Forum Conduct.

If you sell the stones in wearable jewelry you can still profit nicely as you are competing with the inflated retail prices of jewelers. I do know that one local jeweler will buy diamonds and that the "worthwhile money" ones start at 1/4 carat that he will pay $75 each for.

They make synthetic ones for saw blades, so really the small ones might as well be sand...
