Approximately how much would a 4 carat ring cost at Tiffany''s? Cartier? Harry Winston? A regular je

[cidney]

If anyone has any idea of the pricing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

A 2ct at Cartier, an F VS1 I believe, was $67K.

A 4ct would probably be over $150K I''m guessing

The price goes up as color and clarity and of course quality of cut go up... you will play much more for a quality stone that is sold at a well known jeweler like Tiffany or the other jewelers you mentioned.

Aren''t the majority of rings at Tiffany''s, etc. good quality and color?

Also, is Tiffany''s the least expensive of the three in general (out of Cartier and Harry Winston''s)? I was told that Tiffany''s usually runs $20,000 a carat...but of course I like Cartier and Harry''s more

Their rings are all generally high quality, but there are still major markups for each clarity and color that you go up. Also, just so you know, Tiffany's does run about $20,000 give or take a few thousand for the first carat in a decent color/clarity range, but then subsequent carats DO NOT increase by $20,000 per carat. It goes up a LOT per carat after 1.

And usually Tiff's is the cheapest of those three. I'm sure you're looking at well over $100k at each of those retailers, exactly how much above that will depend on the color and clarity you choose.

For what color, clarity? It''s not a set price...

If you type in Tiffany, Cartier, etc. in the search box, you''ll get lots of info, on lots of things. Tiffany has been discussed at great length.

I have been searching the forums for info, but haven''t found the exact answers to my questions...

How much would a good quality 4 carat cost at a regular jeweler? Is there any rule like $10,000 a carat???

If tiffany''s is the cheapest, what''s cheaper - Harry Winston or Cartier?

How big of a ring could you get at these stores for $100,000?

Thanx in advance

There aren''t any ''rules'' like that for anywhere. There are too many variables.

If tiffany''s is the cheapest, what''s cheaper - Harry Winston or Cartier?

Call them and ask.

Best to call them and ask. And no, there are no rules as 10,000 a carat.

 

[cidney]

Thanks - I will. Just wanted to get some info beforehand...

 

[Regular Guy]

maybe worth further review at $88,974.

Prices go up incrementally the higher you go in carats. A two carat might cost $20K but a four carat will cost much more than double that. No hard and fast rules at all.

If you call them and give them an idea of your budget they could all help you. If you call them a couple of weeks in advance of visiting, if visiting is your plan, then I''m sure they would be willing to pull what they have and be ready for you.

 

[Ice Princess]

I think the reason you haven''t found the answers to your question is because the question is way too broad. Too many specs involved to give you a specific answer.

 

[cidney]

thanx

A friend of mine got a 4 carat cushion from HW about a year ago...I didn''t ask her the price, but she hinted that it was "around" $200K, so I don''t know if it was over or under, nor do I know what color or clarity her stone is. And that was for the whole ring, including the pave around it, not just the stone. I know it''s not much help, but that''s all I''ve got...

When I was in Tiffany last January, I tried on a 4 carat Novo, and it was $250,000.00. Now, I am pretty sure the price has gone up since then, but with the Novo cut, it doesn''t look as huge as you might think it would at 4 carats. Perhaps it is a deep cut. Storm would know.

I agree...

I saw a 2.5 ct Novo and it looked tiny. Well, ya know, relatively speaking

Funny IronMickey - I thought the same thing when I tried one of about 1.2 carats ... I''ll take it though - good enough for me.

I think the best thing is to pass by a store or call. I only know about tiffany and yes, the price substantially goes up especially when it comes to colorless stones. I guess those folks value colorless...

 

[amcgookin]

I tried on the Tiffany Legacy with graduated side stones in a 3.1 carat cusion cut last weekend and it was priced at $203,000 if I remeber correctly.

 

[anemone]

And that stone regular guy found for you jumped around 5K in price over the last few days.
