Hello All, how much of a price difference is there, in general, between a VVS1 and a VS1 if two fancy-cut diamonds are equal in color (D) and cut (excellent)? The only major difference other than the clarity is the size difference. The VVS1 is 0.20 ct. smaller than the VS1, but more expensive so I thought I could offer a lower price, but I would need to know what percentage more is fair on a VVS1 over a VS1. Maybe the VVS1, though smaller, is justifiably more expensive due to the rare quality of the clarity.
For example, the 1.37 ct. D/VS1 is priced at $6080 per carat and the 1.17 ct. D/VVS1 is priced at $8119 per carat. Keep in mind these are the same fancy shape, both with equally excellent cuts. Do you think this pricing is fair for the 1.17 ct. or would a lower offer on the 1.17 ct. be appropriate? The only reason for prefering the smaller stone over the larger one is the length-to-width ratio being slightly more pleasing to me. Thanks!
