Hi is was wondering if someone in the business could give me some advice on the following:
I am shopping for a ring and was recently confronted by 2 options from a family friend in the business. This person does not normally sell direct to consumers as they work out of an office and sell mainly to retailers and wholesalers.
The first option was an EGL certified 1.82ct VS2 H color stone for $13,500
The second was a uncertified 2.35ct SI2 I color for $12,500.
My first question is are these good prices, they seem to be based on what I have seen retail thus far, and is the larger uncertified stone soemthing I should worry about? Also Is SI2 generally something I would want to stay away from?
Thanks.
