How much is a 10ct round fancy black AAA grade diamond worth?

Whatever you have to sell is worth whatever someone will pay you for it. Best practices dictate that you take your gem to a certified gemologist who can document the characteristics of the gem. It's carat weight, its clarity, colour and cut. This professional evaluation will determine whether or not the gem has been treated or otherwise altered from its natural state, which would devalue the gem. A natural black diamond of this size will be exceedingly rare and costly. You may own a carbonado gem, which would be more common and less valuable.

This will help you establish a market value for it. If these are loose, gem-quality diamonds, you can have them documented individually. If you have a bag of industrial diamonds weighing ten carats, which are valued differently from gem-quality diamonds, the value will be determined in pounds not carats.
