I have done my research, set my budget, looked at stones on line and in person, and now I think that I am ready to buy. I am working with a local Chicago wholeslaer and have contacts at Whiteflash and GOG (who have been great). After telling the local wholesaler that I was pricing diamonds with these online dealers as well, his prices became much more competitive; however, he also really turned up the sales pressure. I am going to look at the below diamond tomorrow morning. He told me that the below diamond/price is the best that he can do for me (I am looking for a 2+ct Round w/ an excellent cut under $20k), and he can only guarantee the price until tomorrow.
I guess that I am a little uncomfortable with making a decision so quickly after seeing the stone. Can the price of the stone for wholesaler change overnight? Is this a great deal that I should not pass up? I find several similar stones on whiteflash.com that are around the same price, but, all things being even, I would rather knock out the purchase, appraisal & setting locally. Any thoughts generally? on the diamond?
This is the biggest purchase of my life, and I do not want to screw it up.
