Re: I saw a Wholesale Jewler. Here is the Offer. Is it B.S.
Ultimately I'm going to take the high road here... It sounds like you've found an SI2 that is eye-clean to your standards, with a J color you like. If you have seen the diamond through a range of numerous lighting conditions - including indirect/soft light where the small diameter will be most obvious - and it continues to meet your standards (and the wearer's) for visual beauty that could well be enough for you.
In terms of getting best value you might print this thread, take it to your jeweler to show the input offered, and ask if he has room to bring pricing in-line with 0.95-0.99 carat options in the same color/clarity classification. Otherwise, if he has access to supply, perhaps he has another 1-carat diamond in the $4-5K range which faces-up closer to 6.50mm.
At the same time, you're free to do as others have suggested here. The consumer community on this site receives no compensation for any suggestions they make: They do it because they've been in your shoes - got bitten by the diamond bug - and enjoy helping others.
It's impossible to comment on the "eye-clean" of the SI2 clarity grades from reports alone. Also, as a general rule, any diamond with average pavilion angle > 41 degrees should be carefully examined for both cut consistency and a strong T PA CA combination.bizmord|1360339213|3375244 said:For pure looks .... am I better off with the diamond this guy offered? or one of those in links? And if it's the 4 other online ... which one is the best value/look? thank you
