I'm very new to diamonds. My husband has a chance to purchase a .90 pt. diamond for $3376.00. All I know right is that it is I1I. They said the MFSRP wuold be $6752.00 Is this $3376.00 a good price? The store is going out of business. Thanks, Liz

I1? It might have flaws that are visable to your eye. Look at it first. To be honest, $3376.00 seems a bit high for an .90 I1 (unless it's a D or an E color), but I haven't seen it.

I would pass. According to the Pscope search, you could get a G/H .9 RB I1 for $2000-2500. Keep looking. And you want to make sure it's eye clean. Personally I wouldn't want an E I1, it seems kinda silly to get such a white diamond with potentially visible inclusions. Good luck!

Here are two 0.90 I I1's for comparison: #1 at $1931 #2 at $2176 Both of these stones have GIA reports and fairly normal table/depth percentages, so they should be at the high end of the range for stones of that quality. 50% more, and this is their going out of business sale? Does this stone have a report from a well-known lab? If not, it's more overpriced. I would pass with a capital P! Some ideas found by searching by cut: (I've listed the prices shown through the PS search engine, which often gives a discount) 0.90 I VS2 for $3198 It has a mediocre HCA score (4.0) but a good looking ideal scope image. 0.95 K SI1 for $2681 0.84 H SI2 H&A for $3246 says it's eye clean 1.03 J I1 H&A for $3486 I doubt it's eye-clean, but maybe the inclusions aren't too bad.

Phoenix, I was just about to recommend that .84 H SI2 from GOG. It's beautiful!

I am completely uncomfortable with purchasing a diamond online! LOL And DH would never do that! Thanks for the links though! What does "appear white" mean. I see that on the forum and don't know what it means. Thanks, Liz

It means how white the diamond will look. The color scale for diamonds starts at D and moves downward in the alphabet. People have different definitions of what a white diamond looks like. Some people think that a H diamond looks too yellow. Others think a J does indeed appear to be very white. Check out this link: http://diamonds.pricescope.com/color.asp

Date: 12/5/2005 4:18:27 PM Hopefully we can break that uncomfortable feeling you have,( hahaha). Buying on line from reputable vendors (goodoldgold, whiteflash-among others here on PS) offer unbeatable deals found anywhere in B&M stores. In the end, yes, it is up to you, but I just wanted to give you my two cents and reassure you that it is safe and rewarding. Im buying my future fiance's E-ring online (Goodoldgold) and I have no fear whatsoever. There are even return policies if you are worried about that.
