Experts here is another question:
What color, and clarity in a 1.5 carat eight star diamond or GIA Ideal cut can I expect for about $17k to $18k? (again at a brick & mortar). Can I expect a GSA ''0'' grade with an E or F or is this asking too much for an 8* or Ideal ''O'' cut? I want to be realistic in what I would have to pay. Perhaps, I need to pay more for such a cut and clarity than $17??? Please advise.
