FIRST POST ON ROCKY TALKY:
I have an opportunity to purchase a "pre-owned" engagement and band, set, with a GIA certed 1.09 round Brilliant GIA diamond, H Colour, SI-1 with an Excellent Cut and Symmetry, VG Polish -Thin to Med Girdle - no flores, and no culet. The manufacturer of the set is probably the industry's most well known, but I don't want to say the name. The HCA ranks the specs as .7 and triple Excellent with a VG Spread. I am looking at purchase price of about $6200. I think I can sell the plat setting and band for at least $500 (maybe more) and would also make another $300 through Points on the purchase. Final cost for the stone will be about $5500 after the deductions. I plan to have the stone set in a triology semi-mount that I already have. What do readers think of this stone and price ? There seem to be about 6 loose stones on the Pricescope diamond search that have similar specs and these range from $6600 to $8100. There is a 14 day return with this vendor, but is the "discount" and final price enough to warrant buying "pre-owned", having the sell the setting, dealing with possible problems, etc????
