Very new to PS and hoping to get the help that most in store jeweler''s dont want to provide... I was suggested to put this hear by another member so here goes:
I am looking for the best .75ish ct. Princess cut for the buck.
I am not looking for the dirt cheapest diamond out there but the total package. I have found a lot of diamonds on sites like bluenile.com, engagement rings direct, james allen, gemnation.com, shenoadiamonds.com, scheinerdiamonds.com, diamondsafe.com. Whiteflash doesnt have anything in my narrowed price range. If the experts speak and say I cant get what I want... Ill bend but here are the parameters for all of my searching.
PLEASE THROW IN LAYMAN TERM SUGGESTIONS. Talking over my head is just wasting your finger''s dead skin cells... haha
.75ct (+/- .05) Princess Cut
D-G Color
SI2+ Clarity
Ideal/Excellent Cut
Ideal Depth = 64% - 75%
Girdle: Thin - Slightly Thick
Ratio: 1.00-1.05
Polish: Good+ (prefer VG+)
Symmetry: Good+ (prefer VG+)
Price:
I have probably found atleast 2 dozen diamonds to fit this. Now I still do not fully understand how different a diamond''s brilliance is going to be at each percentage of the D and T. I just want the most brilliance and quality for my money.
I am also looking for a long standing reputation with 30 day return policy and guarantee...
Shoot me down if this isnt realistic but I know there are so many intelligent members that I appreciate all of your help.
Examples:
Bluenile.com
.78 / F / SI2 / D=71.1 / T=69 / P=EX / S=VG / G=Tn-M / GIA Cert = $2013
gemnation.com
.75 / F / SI1 / D=69.9 / T=71 / P=VG / S=G / G=M-STk / GIA Cert = $2080
