Can you Believe this Crap?
Unfortunately, any number of things can go wrong on a movie set due to poor planning, cost-cutting and Hollywood-sized egos, as our list illustrates. His name may conjure images of a nerdy librarian, but Ormer Locklear was a true daredevil, a stunt-flying pioneer. Trained in the United States Army Air Service (the forerunner of today’s Air Force) during World War I, he later toured the country as a newly popular type of entertainer: a barnstormer. So without further ado, let’s dim the lights and raise the curtain on 12 horrific deaths that happened on movie sets. Some of the oldest incidents took place in the early days of Hollywood, while the more recent ones you probably remember.
Final cuts of the movie “Insee Thong,” (“Golden Eagle” in English) preserved the accident caught on film upon its release in 1974, though later versions removed the incident. Only about 95 of his films remain, many in poor quality. Today, a shrine near the spot where Chaibancha died honors his memory. The same can’t be said of recording technology. Despite his life’s work as an actor, Vic Morrow’s greatest contribution may have been his death.
Where can I sell my diamond? The buyback prices offered are fairly low. The buyback price is therefore very low. If you are happy with the starting price, you can consign the sale to them. Generally, the buyback prices offered today are 40% to 70% below the Rapaport price. Below, you will find the different options available to you for selling your diamond. Typically, the prices offered are fairly low as their aim is to sell as many lots as possible. This question comes up frequently immediately after this one: what price can I resell it for?
The first of the “4Cs” is the “cut” of a diamond which refers to both its cut shape and its cut quality. Indeed, in order to calculate the price of a diamond, we need to know its cut shape: is it round brilliant, emerald, princess, etc. ? This criteria is easy to determine as you only need to look at a diamond in order to identify the shape of the stone’s cut.
If we put these 2 diamonds alongside each other you would not be able to see the difference in clarity grade and yet their value is not the same. What other criteria can affect the value of a diamond? Let’s take one last example and compare a 1.50 carat princess diamond graded color D and clarity VVS1 with a 1.50 carat princess diamond graded color D and clarity VS2: the price difference will be -31.87%. We have just seen above the 4 diamond valuation criteria (the “4Cs”) and it is important to understand all of them in order to be able to accurately calculate the price of diamonds.
The 3 gemological laboratories that we recommend have established very strict evaluation standards that ensure the impartiality of the stone’s analysis and of the final result. Other criteria, such as an extremely thick girdle or a very large cutlet can affect the value of a diamond. This is question we are frequently asked. This denotes a poorly-cut stone and, naturally, it’s value will decrease slightly. How much can I sell my diamond for?
