I'm patiently waiting for Lightbox to release the 1 carat round white diamonds (if they ever do) and decided to check pricing at Brilliant Earth just to see what it would be.
I filtered for an equivalent stone, ~1 carat, G color, VVS, VG-EX. The prices at BE range from $3400-4000, compared to LB's $900 ($800 plus $100 minimum for setting).
I'm curious about the price history of the BE stones and if they've gone down at all. I assume not since LB isn't currently offering that size, so maybe a better comparison would be the .5 carat round that you can actually get from LB right now.
Doing the same filter but for .5 carat stones gives 3 results between $930-$1030. Twice the price of LB's .5 carat which is $500 ($400 plus $100 setting).
Interested to hear thoughts about current pricing, predictions about future pricing, and if there's any price history data out there to get concrete numbers to see if pricing has changed at all in 6 months.
