After a parcel of competitive priced marquise diamonds (x10)

[PursuitOfBling]

Basically, I'm on a really tight budget and just want to get the best deal possible on a batch of 10 loose marquise diamonds totalling 0.8 to 1 carat altogether. Main thing here is the price. VS quality is ideal but otherwise SI1 quality will do. They don't need to be exactly the same size each, but similar would be nice. Don't mind where (can have them shipped) though a jeweller in NY would be best.

If anyone could provide me with contact details (links, emails etc) for people who might be able to help I'd greatly appreciate it!

Best regards

You added a bunch of specs other than price but try buying a cluster ring at a pawn shop, taking it apart and scrapping the gold. 1ct total weight of marquises isn't such a hard spec to find and it won't be a hot seller at the store so they might be willing to offer an attractive price. Grading accuracy and condition is going to be your issue because you're 100% relying on the seller for this info, especially if you're going to try to do it from a distance so start by vetting your dealer.

Especially in yellow gold

Here's an example of what I had in mind. Doesn't seem like a great deal, but then again I haven't price-shopped:
