Hi all,
I''m new here and first wanted to say thanks to all the folks posting such great info.
I was looking for Birks "blue" diamond in size between .7 & .9 ct. Accepting the fact that I''m willing to pay for the branding, I''m finding they have hardly anything in the G color VS1 clarity range. The ring I''m looking at is .80 ct H SI1 for $9175 cdn. A search on the computer found only one VS1. I guess they rely mostly on a quality cut rather than higher color & clarity?
I was in Mississauga. Seemed like there were some VS1''s at the Yorkville store, but the computer didn''t list any when I was in Mississauga. What''s up with that? Does the computer not show what all the stores have?
The salesman says there is never much in a size >= .80 ct and < 1 ct. That 1 ct is a big price jump, and cutters always try to get to that size because of it. I suspect it''s more what they choose to carry rather than supply.
Any insights appreciated. Thx.
