Hey everyone. I have been doing a ton of reading on here but havent been able to find the answer completely. I have found the setting for my gf''s e-ring and now I am looking at stones for the center. I have decided between a couple of stones but what I don''t get is how two stone who have the same ratings vary so much in price when the size isn''t much different.
Example...
Stone 1: .88
- Rating on the cut adviser of 1.4
Price: $4000
Stone 2: .92
- Rating of 1.5 on the cut adviser
Price: $5990
I know that the bigger the stone the more rare and therefore will carry a Higher price tag, but what I dont get is how two H, VS2 stones that are .04 apart can vary so much in price. The setting is a halo with .55 around the bezel and up the shank.
help?
thanks
joe
