I am on the search for a diamond for my GF of 3.5 years. My budget is around $4,300-$5,000 including a tiffany sollataire setting (Platinum). I went today to a local jewler and found a diamond that I thought looked great , but wasn''t too sure about the price. Based on my research it looks to be priced very high and not a good diamond.
The jeweler is asking for $5,500 including a setting. He attributes $5,000 to the diamond and a deal on the setting of $500. Please see the specs below as I assume the girdle thickness is too much as the HCA would not run for this diamond.
