Hello Everyone:
I recently received a beautiful solitaire 1.61 carat princess cut ring from my DH for our anniversary. Even though I think it is beautiful we both know very little about diamonds and wanted an opinion from others that know a little more. I have all intentions of getting it appraised but would like your opinion as well. He won''t give me the exact price (since it was a gift) he did sayd he paid between $9000 and $10,000. Since it was the sweetest thing he could have done since I always wanted a diamond larger than the 1.0 carat I got when we first got engaged 13 years ago, I want to make sure that he did ok and did not get taken for a ride. I do love the ring but the fact that he gave it to me could be influencing me just a bit.
What do you think, did he do okay?
