So, I've recently started to search for an engagement ring for my girlfriend of 14yrs...I know, I know, what took me so long. Well, truth is we started very young and thank goodness we've survived the ups and downs. We also have two kids together and now I feel it is way past due....So, I found a GIA certified diamond and I was very impressed. I also was able to get an eternity wedding band along with it. In total the set, including the loose diamond is approx. 4 to 4.25 carats in total weight. The jeweler is asking 15,900. My initial spending limit was 10K - 12k is the a good deal. The diamond specs are below:
Laser Inscripted
Square Modified Brilliant
Measurements 6.38 x 6.34 x 4.05mm
Carat Weight 1.52
Color Grade E
Clarity Grade SI1
Polish Excellent
Symmetry - Very Good
Fluorescence - None
Table 71%
Depth 73.4%
The jeweler promised that all stones on both rings will be of the same grade. So, am I way in over my head??
The only better deal I found was 12,500 same package as above but loose diamond was Color F, Clarity SI2
Should I pay the difference for the more expensive stone? In other words is the price differential justified by the difference in grades between the two diamonds?
