Engagement ring offer

[lalamopr]

Hi:

I just want to make sure I have a good offer for an engagement ring. This is the info:

.83 carat, excellent cut, color I and clarity VS2. Also I enter the cut info to the Holloway cut adviser tool and the stone got an 1.5 score. This is very good. The stone is GIA Certified.

They are offering me this diamond in a 14k white gold tyffany style setting for $2,800 and free insured shipping.

Thanks for your advice!

The equivalent stones I saw on JA are running in the low $3000 so it sounds like you have a good price. Does it have fluorescence?

Edit - I see you are getting it on-line. There are other things that affect the price like return policy, other images available,
upgrade policies, etc.

Have you seen a picture of the stone? Just wondering.

What is the GIA lab report number.

And why is it being offered to you at that price. Is it second hand?

That does look like a decent offer. Which company have you gone through?

Hi! The online retailer is B2C Jewels. And yes. It has Strong Blue Fluorescence. The stone is not pre owned. As for the fluorescence I have read mixed reviews of that. Here is a study of GIA about it: http://www.gia.edu/cs/Satellite?c=Page&childpagename=GIA/Page/GGArticleDetail&pagename=GST/Dispatcher&cid=1355958320246

The GIA certificate number is 5156860890.

They have a good 30 days money back guarantee and a full year warranty.

For the price I think I can't be nitpicking about the fluorescence.

Strong fluoro does bring the price down a lot. Ask B2C if the fluoro makes it look hazy.

For about $80 more they have a .81 carat with medium blue fluorescence. All the other characteristics are the same as the .83 stone. The only difference is .02 carats and the fluorescence.

What is a better option?

 

[lalamopr]

They get back to me and say the stone is eye clean with no negative effect for the fluoro

Probably a pretty good deal then (IMO).
