Helllo PS! So after learning everything about diamonds on this site, i''ve had the chance to actually go inside stores this week and physically see some rocks...i must say, its quite nerve wrecking...but i''ve narrowed it down to 3 stones and now i need to choose...all are GIA certified...but i need some expert advice on which diamond is best.
The setting i''ve decided on is a tacori 2620..its a beautiful pave setting with a halo...
Option #1 (the one im leaning towards atm)
http://www.mervisdiamond.com/inventory/diamonds/cert_pup.php3?item_no=93922
in case link does not work, here are the specs:
Round Brilliant
1.33ct G/VS2
7.09-7.13x4.33mm
Cut Grade: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Table: 57%
Depth: 60.9%
The total price for this ring is $14,000 (11,265 for the diamond, 3,535 for the setting...then they took off $800)
Option #2
Round Brilliant
1.23ct D/VS2
6.88-6.91x4.27mm
Cut Grade: Very Good
Polish: Good
Symmetry: Very Good
Table: 52% (Not a typo)
Depth: 61.9%
I got a quote on this diamond for $9,600 (on sale from 11K and change, but still seems quite low for a D/VS2?)..but the setting is 3,800 and the total comes out to $14,000 as well..
The 3rd option is a 1.21ct F/VS2 and it''s also a Very Good Cut grade, but has Very Good Polish, and Good Symmetry...and this diamond was quoted at 8,600...so it would ring me a little bit over $13K.
I guess my main concern was choosing from the first two options...Seeing as the first diamond is all EX/EX/EX grade compared to the second one of VG/G/VG...i''m slightly leaning towards option #1...based on the specs, what do you guys think???
thanks in advance!
