Well, I just bought an E ring 2 weeks ago from Robbins Bros in Schaumburg IL and just proposed this past Saturday (she said yes, of course!). While I was extremely happy with RB services compared to several other places I had shopped before RB, their Price Guarantee got me curious and I started searching for average pricing on the diamond and ring I had purchased and came across this website. Here are the specs on the diamond I purchased:
IGI cert
Princess Cut
4.78 x 4.60 x 3.42 MM
.63ct
Color grade H
Clarity SI2
Cutting Style modified brilliant
Good polish
Very good symmetry
Depth 74.3%
Table 70%
Crown Height 8.0%
Pavilion depth 61.5%
Girdle Thick to Very Thick
Cutlet None
Fluorescence None
At RB I paid $2250 for this diamond, which I''ve come to find through this site seems to be a little high. I am going to go back to RB about their Price guarantee and show them one or more of the following diamonds:
0.60 Carat G-VS1
0.60 Carat E-SI2
0.62 Carat F-SI1
0.62 Carat H-VS1
0.63 Carat E-VS1
0.64 Carat G-VVS2
I am most inclined to show them the 0.62 Carat F-SI1 one (the 3rd link above) because it is the closest in size and has better specs in all areas other than it being 0.01 carat smaller and is over $1000 cheaper.
I also would like to see if I can find a better price the ring too, but can''t really find much about it. On RB''s website it does not show a pic but here is the link, it is a Solano .49ct TW. Any help here would be awesome too.

This is my first diamond purchase, actually my first jewelry purchase over $100, so I just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I go back to RB and need some advice. Thanks in advance!
