I''m in the market for a 2ct diamond for an anniversary ring. I''ve been doing a lot of research (which involves spending a lot of time on this website!) on how to pick a stone and it''s really mind boggling! I''ll be having some custom work done so I''ve shopped around a bit and found a B&M that I really feel comfortable with. I''ve seen some stones and determined that I prefer F-G color and either VS2-SI1 clarity. We saw 2 stones today and they look nice--one seems to have that "ground glass" appearance but was still nice and the other was a bit brighter in color. Trouble is both stones have table and depth percentages in the 70''s which I thought was something to avoid.
Need some expert input regarding the following stones:
Stone 1
2.02
7.62x6.80x4.88
D%: 73.9%
T%: 76%
Girdle: very thin to very thick
Culet: none
Polish: good
Symmetry: good
Clarity: S11
Color: G
Fluorescence: none
Price: 18.400 (before negotiating)
Stone 2
2.00
7.39x6.76x4.81
D%: 71.2%
T%: 77%
Girdle: medium to thick
Culet: none
Polish: good
Symmetry: very good
Clarity: SI1
Color: F
Fluorescence: None
Price: 20,000 (before negotiating)
I really prefer the rectangular look. I''ve shopped around online (and actually saw this exact stone) and think I can get a better cut and clarity for the price or at least negotiate for a better price. What comments do you have for me regarding the above stones? Should I walk? Thanks for your input!!!!!
