Am looking at resetting a diamond I can buy and adding two diamonds into a 3 stone engagement ring.
Have been offered a ring with a 1.41ct center diamond and 0.72ct accent diamonds in the band and wonder how to get it appraised and what proportion side stones to use if I discard the band and reuse the stones?
The appraisal certificate supplied is from ABCG and looks to be 'different'. Have been offered a long, long way below the appraisal so this raises questions so will borrow it first and get it appraised separately.
Center Diamond
Princess Cut
Size: 1.41ct,
Color: F,
Clarity: VS1* (note says *Clarity Enhanced) - what does this mean?
Cut: Excellent
Accent Diamonds
Round Brilliant
Size:0.72ct
Color: F
Clarity: VS1-VS2
Cut: Excellent
These are a lot of small ones in three rows in the band.
Where do I take the ring to get it appraised as I do not really have much faith in the appraisal certificate? Assuming the center stone checks out, what proportion side stones and what shape are recommended? What to do with the many small accent diamonds? Any suggestions on a design? Platinum band. Was partial to a larger solitaire round cut (>1.7 - 1.8ct before.
Any help appreciated.
