Hi, very new to all this engagement stuff. Quick question. Is a 30% discount on the price listed on the tag of the diamond a good deal? 7000 down to 5000, just for the stone.

Sorry for the vaugue question, I'll try to get diamond specs this weekend.

Depends. If the true worth (need the specs) is $3000, but they're asking $20,000 for it. A 30% discount isn't any good. But, if it's worth $3000 and they're asking $3500, then a 30% discount is pretty good.

Basically, you need the specs to try and figure out market price to see if the discount is any good.

The easiest way to decide if a diamond is a good deal is to find a similar diamond and compare the prices. There are a bunch of websites that you can search on.
