Hello,
new guy here with lots of questions.
am preparing to purchase an ERing for my girlfriend. I have been looking for a Man Made Diamond, specifically a pink one.
I have scoured PriceScope, Google, D.Nea, and other websites.
Recently I found a jeweler in my area who is a Chatham dealer and i had a pink chatham diamond brought in. The jeweler is telling me that Chatham does their own rating, so it doesn't have an IGA or GIA etc... rating.
I asked for the specs and he told me:
the color is "fancy Pink"
the weight is 0.4ct
clarity is "VS"
the cut is "perfect"
and it is 5mm. he will give me the full dimensions when i meet with him tomorrow.
he says that chatham claims it is a $2700 stone, but he will charge $2400. and then after some squirming, he said he will give me a 10% discount if I go with both the stone and mount through him.
What do you think is decent ballpark price for this stone?
what other questions should i ask?
what other info should i get?
is he correct about chatham not sending their stones for rating?
i mistakenly posted my original post in Rocky Talk:
