Whats wrong with this ring?

[nafty]

Seems like the following ring is cheaper then other rings with the similar "specs"

I'm still a noob at this, but is there something I'm missing? there are lots of red markers on the ring but are they visible to the naked eye?

In general, I'm looking for a round ring ~1+ caret preferably less then $8000 including 5.5 band. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Is this a ring? I'm seeing only the diamond.

Here are a few at JA that are worth looking into...they leave you around $2k for a setting...

The one you picked is a 60/60 stone with a table bigger than depth and has a shallow crown. Some people like 60/60 stones, some
dont. No way telling if it's eye-clean or not.

Thanks for the replies!

Sorry I meant to write "diamonds" instead of a ring, I guess I was a bit ahead of myself.

Thanks for the suggestions, any recommendations on how to confirm its eye clean? if I call the vendor and ask can I really trust what they say?

 

[tyty333]

Yes, you can usually trust PS vendors but be sure and ask how far away from the stone they determine it is eye-clean.
Like 6 inches, 10 inches, very close scrutiny, or what so that you might see something if you are closer than they are.

Per forum rules I cannot comment specifically on the diamond you have posted. I can say that fluorescence does impact price and value. You can get an overview of fluorescence here:

Thanks!

I will contact the vendor and inquire about its clarity. Also thanks for pointing out the Fluorescence that was completely not on my radar until just now.

Any other recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Maybe move up the clarity scale to VS2 to avoid any surprises.

Please stick with vendors that supply photos of the stones at least. It is not advised to buy a diamond blind. It is even more difficult to evaluate SI clarity stones without pictures. In addition, some vendors provide images that show light return, and I recommend that as well.

 

[nafty]

Thanks for the advice, can you please clarify whats a "light return" and how to read it?

Also I was just using PriceScope's "Search and Comparison" tool and just go from there... I guess thats not the best approach. Can you recommend a few reputable vendors that you like?
