The ring costs $2800. With the center diamond is $9700 a good price for everything?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have seen it in person and it is eye clean. Sorry I posted the wrong link info, this one should work:

I just wanted to make sure that the price was a decent deal before I pulled the trigger. Thanks again for your help.

9700 for stone plus setting? Right?

 

[mumbles]

Yes. That's everything out the door.

 

[Niel]

Yes. That's everything out the door.

Is she attached to that particular setting?

I ask only because James Allen has a similar for half the price. Could get a near colorless stone closer to 1.25.

Just from my looking. (Which is a little hard as I'm on a phone lol)

Now that's just a "what you could get for your money " post. If you're just trying to see if what you paid was fair? Sounds fair but again I'm not good at searching on a phone. Did you check the Pricescope diamond search tool? See what prices came up?

 

[mumbles]

Can you send me a link to the similar setting on the JA website? If it's close in design I might consider it.

I just wanted to make sure the price is good/fair. I checked on the Pricescope diamond search and found similar diamonds ranging between $6300-6500.

Its not quite as detailed underneath. But I have heard they will add millgraining for no extra fee. And it would free you up for closer to a 1.25 ct. But of course if the setting is more important that the size of the center stone, you can ignore me

It looks nice but I think the Verragio is a little nicer.

Thanks for all your feedback. I really appreciate it. I think I will go ahead and buy it this week. Thanks again!
