been visiting store in nyc diamond district and have a couple of questions.
has anyone heard of miligree jewelers and any reviews of them?
been made an offer on a clarity enhanced stone- showed where inclusion was "feathered-out" not so concerned about this - as many people have clarity enhanced stones and I am pretty sure they do not fully understand what they mean - although ive done research and honestly, that is the only reason i know.The stone is gorgeous to the eye- and to the untrained eye even looks great under the scope
...but i am pretty sure my boyfriend has been negotiating with this jeweler and i am concerned that we are truely getting a good deal- you know when something just sounds too good to be true?
this is the stone- clarity enhanced 2.22 carat radiant cut F color VS1 clarity. cut is very good to good.. (this is all the information i know as I am not really involved or supposed to be in process) Set on a pave band. Price originally quoted was 10,500 and i believe he was able to negotiate alittle , but again I do not know. It is certified by EGL and has an EGA retail appraisal of 27,000 -
i understand this is clarity enhanced but still it seems as if it is not so expensive for what we are getting...
He wants to bring in an independant appraiser before completeing the purchase? do stores usually allow ? how do you go about and does anyone know of one?
also if it is clarity enhanced- we should be able to find out clarity /color before enhancement- has the color always been a F and just the clarity has been approved? What could the clarity have potentially been before?
i am skeptical about many of these diamond district dealers having been a lifelong new yorker and appreciate any and all help..
thanks in advance.
