Hi guys,
Just wanted to ask your opinion... my friend is in the process of buying an engagement ring for his girlfriend, and he''s found a 1.01ct cushion G VS2 ideal cut apparently (those are the only stats).. but the vendor is quoting £6000 (approximately USD9800) for the diamond alone (not incl setting)!!!! In my personal opinion, that''s way too much for a 1.01ct diamond surely? I''ve voiced my concerns, but he is desperate to finish the ring within a very tight schedule to tie in with his proposal plans and is concerned he won''t be able to do it on time, so is reluctant to start the search for a diamond again. But having lurked on PS for awhile now, my conscience is finding it very hard to let him waste so much money on this.
What should I do?
