When shopping for an engagement ring, my gf really liked this ring from an antique store:
Lady''s Estate Antique white metal Radiated Blue diamond straight-line designed handmade engagement and wedding ring set. The engagement ring has Old World Charm, elegance and fine workmanship. (Stamped Platinum). The ring contains 1-.93 carat Radiated Blue round brilliant cut diamond. The clarity SI2. Color Teal Blue with green blue-yellow color changes. The ring also contains with 2-.02cts. round brilliant diamonds. The clarity VS1. Color D/E. The ring also contains with 1-.01 cts round brilliant diamonds. the clarity VS1. Color D/E. The total diamond weights .99 TCW. The wedding band 1/2 round 2.5mm custom fit band. Total 5.48-Grams Weight TGW. $2500
Questions:
1) Is this a good deal? (i.e. Do you think I can negotiate?)
2) Radiated = "man made color" (I''ve been reading other posts). Should I be concerned?
3) Estate Antique = "Used & Old". Older cuts aren''t as good as today''s. Other concerns?
4) SI2 doesn''t seem so clear for a solitare-style ring. More concerns?
5) Most likely appraised in the ring. Can I trust it?
Thanks!
