Icicles Cut Rock Total Posts: 124 Last Post: 9/20/2004 Member Since: 3/31/2004	I have been offered a 3-stone ring which consists of a 0.43ct, D, VS2 center, and two natural ruby side stones (eye clean), 0.40ct each. The ring is 14k white gold... would $750 be a good deal? center diamond specs: GIA report color: D clarity: VS2 (crystal) table: 58% depth:61.4% Medium Girdle polish: Very Good symmetry: Excellent no flour, no culet I dont have the crown and pavilion angles. good deal?

Dunno what to do with the rest of the ring yet. Maybe put in a cz in its place and wear it on my pinky until i get sick of it, and then sell it. Or I can make dangling ruby earrings? I have another hour to make up my mine before he sells it to someone else. opinions, anyone?

Consider a nice pink sapphire to highlight the ring....the combination will work with just about any wardrobe and skin type...... Vasili "Knowledge is Power, and Wisdom comes from not abusing it..."

I looked up prices here and the most i can get for my money was the same size in G/SI2... I had thought it was a great deal, but since nobody else responded, perhaps not? I was thinking of possibly switching out the rubies with pink sapphires instead...maybe i'll do that instead of making the center into a pendant.

I just called some jewelers (local and internet), and they told me it's impossible to find something for that price unless the seller's very desperate to sell (which he is), so I will be making the purchase tonight. Cool.. now i'll have something small and dainty to match my engagement ring!

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	Sorry there wasn't much rush to this thread... The price is very nice. It is not unusual to have stones below 1ct not certified (when the cost of the report would be quite a % of the total price, at least). What can I say... the price of the ring is very tempting, even if it was just for the center stone. I would not wander too much about why the other half is 'missing' from the total price, maybe just see wether the stone compares favorably for color with a certified D in the same store and check wether it is eye clean ? While such exercise is very imprecise, the respective price would still be ok for the look, I suppose. In fact, as long as you really like the piece, this is a nice deal anyway.

And I would hope that a GIA graded VS2 is eye-clean!! It only has a few very tiny crystals, and they're all around the edges, not near the center. The diamond shows really nice H&A pattern, and the light return is great. I eyeballed the crown and pavillion angles and entered some numbers in the HCA, and it all runs between .8-1.7, so it's great! And the reason why the ring was so cheap is because it's a divorce ring... the guy really just wants to get rid of it, and i'm not superstitious so it works out. he paid over $1800 originally. I think i got a fabulous deal!

No way a 0.5ct, VS2 will show inclusions. The original price seem in line with what I thought.
