This is primary for Cut Nut, however I also welcome
others to reply. I''''ve just started learning about diamonds and I''''ve found this forum very helpful, after
visiting a few B&M jewellery stores last night I got the
firm impression that the general populace is being severely ripped off for the prices being asked here (in Sydney) for diamonds/rings.
I am interested in purchasing a diamond via the net, can you tell me how much I should be expecting to pay for 0.5 to 0.75 carat, round brilliant, D-F, VVS2 (or better) excellent cut (excellent light return, symmetry and proportions) according to the ideal scope reference chart.
I''''ve read some posts here stating that the situation
in Australia is pretty grim, with mostly poor cuts
and inflated prices. I am just seeking value and honesty with whomever I deal, can you make any suggestions?
many thanks,
