It all depends on how many diamonds there are to make up 1.0ct, their colour, quality, and cut
I think it would be unfair on our part to tell a price of diamond without even looking at it or seeing the paperwork. Also it would be interesting to see the basics of diamond - Cut (whether it is cut or uncut diamond), color, clarity (is their spark and shine in diamond or not) and Carat value (as mentioned by you- 1 carat here) before taking a call on the price of diamond. Also market price of diamond is one factor which will determine the value you should expect. The current market price for 1 karat diamond is $3,500. But this doesn't mean you will get $3,500. It would be better if you take your diamond to a diamond buyer who will asses it and will tell you the right value. Only check the following thing about the diamond buyer- GIA certified staff, BBB accredited and transparency.
All diamonds are weighed in carats. Total carat weight implies that several diamonds make up the total weight.
The initials TW stand for total weight. One characteristic of every diamond is its carat weight. When a jeweler mounts several diamonds into jewelery, the jeweler may describe the total carat weight of all the diamonds as TW. A single diamond will always be more valuable based on its carat weight than multiple diamonds of the same total carat weight.

Given the high number of diamonds limited by the low carat weight in your question, the cost of the diamonds might not be so much a factor as the quality of the setting into which they are mounted. The clarity quality that you describe wouldn't be so visible in diamonds weighing less than a quarter carat (.25 carat) each.
Your total cost depends on the characteristics of each of the diamonds included in the total carat weight: the cut, clarity, colour and carat weight of each.
The total weight of all the diamonds combined in the carat total weight equals one half carat -- .50. The mm measurement of each individual diamond does not depend on the total carat weight of the collection.
The value of 1.45 carats of diamonds will depend on weather you have one single diamond or more. Do you have 145 diamonds with a total weight of 1.45 carats or 2 0.5 carat diamonds and a 0.45 carat diamond? Large diamonds are many many times more valuable than small ones and a single 1.45 carat diamond will be worth far more than tree diamonds with a total carat weight of 1.45 carats
