Here is a pre-loved option: https://loupetroop.com/listings/rings-natural-diamond-center/3-dot-14-ctr-oec-diamond-ring

3ct for 15k is a serious challenge. You will have to compromise on color and clarity.

 

[princessk]

Yes SimoneDi I know Been looking at M colours

I also saw this one a few weeks back and I loved it: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/173072639586

I am not sure if you are after an MRB or if you will be entertaining old cuts as well.

12K USD. And that doesn't account for taxes. More like 11k USD.

Oh. Yeah, not going to find a new cut for that size and price range.

Martin Sheffield at usa certified diamonds is your only hope.

 

[princessk]

Ok thanks everyone Lots of good info here Im on it!
Be back when I find it!!!

 

[whitewave]

Yes, we want to see what you get.

 

[EVANCOUVER]

May I ask why 3 carats given the budget? Does size really matter when you have to compromise on the other 3 C's (cut being most important), going down to a M colour on a 3 carat and SI2 is really going to show on a large size diamond.

I don't blame you for wanting 3 carats, it's pretty magical. I personally think L or M colored diamonds, especially when in yellow gold, is so pretty. Wishing you luck that one of the wizards here finds one for you!

It is poor on hca and may have visible inclusions however.

cheers--Sharon

 

[princessk]

wow so much to check out I guess I could go smaller But Im enjoying the hunt lol!!

 

[SimoneDi]

Smaller than 3ct but gorgeous nonetheless: https://www.briangavindiamonds.com/....275-m-si1-round-diamond-ags-ebl-104097387076

If you add a halo that will compensate for any lack of size. This one also has a blue flouro which is a huge plus for me as that will help the color.

 

[princessk]

Strange

Ive noticed that too Sketchy

Im upgrading from a Halo
Want to do solitaire

 

[Niel]

I feel like I’ve seen something. Let me check

 

[Niel]

Few questions, what’s the lowest carat weight you’ll realistically take I’d say, you could get side stones or a halo to bump it up?

Would you take brown? Yellow? U-V colored diamonds?

 

[Niel]

Oh yes I remember one is found. Looooove the shape of this

Not a great one IMO. Clarity grade based on clouds not shown. It’s probably hazy

YES! And reset it like this one:

[princessk]

I’ve actually been finding lots from all the links that everyone has posted. I probably will up my budget. Damn Canadian dollar!! I also found out my last ring that I’m upgrading from was 1.21 L VS1. It was in a halo. So I definitely do not want to go lower than an L.
