I have been looking for a 2ct+ RB, very well cut, as an upgrade for an anniversary. Today I went to the top jeweler in the state, they had a huge collection of "hearts on fire". I could barely believe how brilliant they were. Amazing. I though "this is it, just what I want". Unfortunately, the price was just as incredible. What really caught my eye was how white the K stone faced up: it looked as nearly as white as the H it was next to. Pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the price was the downside. $26,600 for a 1.8ct K/Si1.
If I purchase from a PS vendor, how do I know that I am getting a diamond of this light quality? There are a ton of diamonds here in the search function, most of all of which do not have pictures.
1) do I just look for an AGS Ideal and hope for the best?
2) How do I dig through the 250 diamonds that come up on search to find one that would be at the top of the cut heap?
3) can you help me find a few to consider?
I called a PS vendor, they said they do not provide idealscopes, I would have to buy the diamond and order a kit. Another vendor said "I can bring in anything, but you have to tell me what stock you want". Which is difficult, without pics. I don't have anything more than the grading, really.
Here is what I want:
Budget $15,000
Color J-K (as long as it faces up white, like the Hearts on Fire K I saw today)
Size: 2.1 or larger
Clarity: eye clean
Cut: top shelf, at least AGS Ideal
Cut is the most important thing here. I know that I can reliably get something from Whiteflash or Brian Gavin; but I don't need to pay for the big upgrade policy and whatnot. I just want a beautiful diamond, it doesn't have to be branded something special.
Please help me find some "ideal++++" diamonds to consider, if you possibly can, thank you!
