Hello,
I just purchased (only put a deposit so far) an engagement ring. I am trying to see if im getting ripped off.
Diamond: Cushion Cut
Carat: 1.21
Cut: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Color: E
Clarity: VVS2
GIA Certified
Depth: 69%
Table: 62%
Fluorescence: STRONG
Price Paid: $8,200
I don't know much about diamonds, but based on the research I did before I went to the store everything seemed great when he showed me this diamond. After coming home and second guessing myself I looked more into it and saw that strong fluorescence in a DEF colored diamond is a bad thing. I am now second guessing this purchase. I even called and complained today, the store manager is saying it is not a big deal at all. He said if it really bothers me he will give me the below diamond for the same price:
Diamond: Cushion Cut
Carat: 1.30
Cut: Excellent
Symmetry: Very Good
Polish: Excellent
Color: F
Clarity: VS2
GIA Certified
Depth: 69%
Table: 64%
Fluorescence: None
Are either of these a good deal or is this a bad deal either way? I already gave a $500 deposit and I don't think he is going to give it back.
Thanks everyone in advance for their help.
