Best Answer

One familiar use of the term 'Granny's Chips' comes from the British Royal family, and is used as a descriptor for the chips removed from the 3,000+ carat Cullinan Diamond when it was being cut and faceted as a major gemstone for the British Crown Jewels. Granny in this case is Queen Mary, wife of Edward VII who received the uncut Culllinan as a gift from the mine's owner.

How much is 1 carat in diamonds chips worth?

Whatever you have to sell is worth whatever someone would pay you for it. If the chips are from gem-quality diamonds -- only 25% of all diamonds mined fit this qualification -- you may be able to sell them to a jewelery maker. Lacking any grade of the chips as to colour, clarity or cut, it is difficult to estimate the worth of your cache.
