Hi lovely Pricescopers! I've been a lurker for a while but now am looking for some expert advice. I have an opportunity to purchase a lovely little firecracker and need to ensure that I'm neither overpaying nor cheating the seller.
This diamond was purchased by my DIL's brother for his girlfriend but, sadly, she broke off the engagement. I have advised him to wait a few months before selling in case things can be worked out but he is insistent on selling. I have not yet seen it in person but it sounds good on paper. It's a .75 ct GIA triple x D VVS2.
He paid approx $5,000 cdn for the diamond and another $500 or so for the simple 18K gold setting. I was thinking of offering him $3,000 cdn for the ring. He was initially going to try a pawn shop but I said absolutely not! Anyhow, do you think this is a fair offer for the ring? Thank you all for your advice.
