So I have been looking at diamonds for the past couple of weeks and could really use some support. I found this one very early in my search: http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/8175/
I had it shipped to a local appraiser and viewed it in person. It's very beautiful but definitely VS2 with an inclusion that I can find with a loupe (but don't think I can see it with the naked eye). I've asked the appraiser to confirm/check the AGS Color/Clarity against his own opinion, just waiting to hear back on this.
I've also looked at set diamonds at Tiffany's (which are also stunning), and other loose diamonds at a local wholesaler (which also had nice diamonds).
The cost for the GOG product is right around $34k loose, which seems decent compared to the local merchant and much better than Tiffanys. At Tiffanys, for the same price, I can only get about a 1.75c diamond (set). The local merchant wanted closer to 39k for a very comparable diamond but VS1. However, with a loupe I could also see the inclusions (maybe I have good eyes?).
I think the fire/brilliance/scintillation/etc are great in all three cases (GOG, Tiffany's, local) but wanted to get some thoughts on this GOG diamond as that's where I'm leaning towards now. Here is a video of the GOG diamond as well: http://vimeo.com/26127258
Thank you so much for your thoughts!
