EC diamond - value?

[chrykies]

Hi folks, newbie here. Have looked at a dozen emerald cut diamonds as of late, and I think I have finally found a keeper Custom 3-stone ring setting with emerald cut trapezoid side stones (F, VS1) (.69 tcw).

Center stone:

1.80ct, E, VS1 (GIA) (slight cloud on table, indented natural on bottom 3rd facet from keel, near corner)
dimensions: 7.85mm x 6.03mm x 4.07mm (1.30 ratio) (
depth: 67.6%
table 62.2% (3.75mm)
crown: 12.2% (42.8'')
pavillion: 52.3% (43.4'')
culet: 0.2% off 0.6%
girdle: 3.1% (3.0-3.1%)

What would be a reasonable price to pay for the side stones? What would be a reasonable price to pay for the center stone, or reasonable discount off RAP?

Thanks everyone.

PS - GIA reports excellent polish and very good symmetry, no fluorescence and no comments.

Hi Chrykies

This is difficult to answer with a custom ring....Where is it for sale, online auction, online vendor or store jeweller? This can influence pricing. If you aren't sure of a fair price, make the sale final on the ring being inspected by an independant appraiser and checking out to your satisfaction in all aspects, also the ring would probably be valued as a whole unless you wanted specific valuations on the side stones also. Do you have any images or photos of the ring? Its not possible to judge the cut quality without.
