I am looking for some unbiased advice about a fair price for a diamond I'm thinking about purchasing from a reputable jeweler for soon to be engagement.
I've seen the diamond and it looks good, eye clean I would call it. Next to VS2 1.5ct diamond I couldn't tell much difference. The guy helping me has shown me many diamonds so far over the past couple of months and I've turned them all down. I think I finally got the message across and he brought me in to see 4 that all met my requirements. (Didn't want EGLUSA unless it was terribly cheap and wanted eye clean with a goal of 1.5 ct. )
I'm attaching the report. The HCA tool here revealed a 1.1. The asking price was 15k. I've negotiated down to about 13.5k with a trade in value staying at their asking price of 15k.
What do you think? I was hoping for a VS2 but mostly because I was being shown EGL SI diamonds that were not eye clean. I can get a VS2 I 1.5ct GIA for about 5k more. The cut grade was VG on that one but it had a 1.3 HCA.
Thanks in advance.
