Hello all,
I''m looking for opinions on something I was told today while in a brick and mortar jewelry store. I''ve had my eye on a WF "a cut above" F SI1 with an HCA of 1.2 w/ AGS certification. The price is 7757 with the pricescope discount. I know there is a premium being paid for the "a cut above" brand. I was in the B&M store which my cousin recommended to me ( she got her ring there). He pulled out hte rappaport report and showed on the chart the price for a diamond with my specs being $6300/ carat. The price he said from that rapp report was that I shouldn''t be paying more than $7623 and that he would include a 5% discount because I was a referall which would be $7252. He only deals with GIA stones but he said it would be (not impossible but) difficult for him to get a Sarin report quickly on any stones he calls in so I could run an HCA score. Does this sound right to you all? I was under the impression the stone from WF was a pretty good price. Any input would be grand! I''m starting to get second thoughts (damn) but I''m not sure if what he says is legit or if he''s just a good salesman.
Thanks
Pete
