Help me find a stone (so I know ballpark prices)...

[Daisyheart]

Hi everyone...

As I said in another post, my DH is going to get me a nice upgrade next year and I''m wanting to know some pricing...

I originally wanted a square stone, now I''m thinking a ideal or hearts and arrow cut, round brilliant with pears....

Can you guys and gals help me find some stones so I can get a guesstimate as to what the cost is going to be....

Here''s what I''d like...

4 carat or above
D - F color
Hearts and arrow or ideal cut
Clarity no less than VS2

Do you know of any stones that I can get a price comparison with?

Thanks,
Trishy

Trishy,

Jonathan has sworn he will correct this little defect (where you will see the price on the page prior to the post, but not on the post describing the diamond itself); meanwhile, price for this one is $102,000..give or take.

Trishy,
Isn''t the beautiful pink Fred Leighton enough?!?

(Really, I''m not jealous!

) That is wonderful that you are going to get an upgrade stone next year. 4 carats will be lovely! Do you think you could sacrifice on one of the C''s to get more bang for your buck?

What are y''all doing up so late???? haahha (I''m the one with the 5 month old)...

Anyway....Reg Guy, great stone....That helps alot...I''ll be printing all these and saving them for DH... That is exactly what I''m looking for...

s95,.........Darling, I will never have enough....Plus that is my right hand ring....

(BTW, my pink is getting prettier everytime I wear it, my husband is in amazment, he loooooooves it! It sparkles different, almost purply pink in good restaurant lights, its really amazing, I wish I could take you all to dinner to show you)...

But back on this diamond.... I really love the white white diamonds, and I''d go down to a SI1 if you can''t see it (I''m pretty picky, I have an SI2 that''s reaaaaaaaally a good one, but I''d rather not go lower than SI1. I want at least a 4.0, so I''d only go down on the clarity...)

SO back with my stats

Hearts and arrow Ideal
4.O and up carat
no lower than F color
and No lower than SI1 quality...

Trishy...never surrender! LOL. When you want something, if you can have it (financially, etc) than you should have it...always knowing your family and friends and health are the MOST valuable and precious thing... a bit of sparkle ain''t bad either!!! I have upgraded twice in 15 years...I am turning 40, having my 15th anniversary and celebrating a milestone for the oldest of my three kids this year...I thought, I want the upgrade while I can see it without goggles and do not have too many more liver spots (wish I had not sun worshipped as a teen)...anyway, bless you if you can have the things that make you happy, as long as you cherish what REALLY counts, as I am sure you do!!!

don''t got swuare unless it has cut corners - my princess just chipped when having it reset! Gemologist recommend Radiant cut and best is to go round, will always keep its value and like the 80''s marquis, a round will never go out of style....
