How much more for an E? Go ahead, guess.

OMG Yssie.
These short term inreases are much more disturbing than my 5-year one.

But at least the trend is down in the post Yssie made!

I thought I would play too for fun. My husband bought the diamond for my e-ring almost 2 years ago for $3250 (0.79ct E VS2 RB, GIA graded). When I look for a similar diamond today the price is about 75-80% higher. I am so glad he proposed when he did!

I have had to quit buying colored stones because I can no longer afford the settings for them, not even the cheaper eBay ones So I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys unless prices start to come down...

Hi all! I don't post often, but I'm the owner of the stone that @thbmok posted about earlier. At the time we were looking at diamonds, the boy and I were unsure about where prices where headed - up, down, or nowhere. We called Brian to talk about the stone and he told us about the first of the price increases that were slated to occur - prices went up literally hours after we purchased this diamond. I'm so happy that we went with this and that we bought when we did! The diamond is a stunner, and if I went to buy now (literally only months after this was purchased), I would need to go down a half carat to stay in budget. Or the budget would have needed to change.

Yeah, with settings being so nutso expensive, I think re-sets will become a thing of the past too. Re-setting used to be a fun hobby for me but not anymore!

I have been watching this for a couple of months too. Keeping track now just cause I'm interested and have been. Trying to do comparison today but there are not a ton of stones out there in these ranges I could find. They were purchased 9/2010 for my five-stone; all are BGD H&A AGS 000's.

I have posted this before...

we bought my diamond in April of last year for $6723 (originally around 7900, vendor came down). It is a 1.108 G VS2 square cushion H&A (AGS)

GOG has a 1.11 G VS2 square cushion H&A (GIA) for $11,492 wire price.

note: this is not meant to be a reflection on GOG or their prices...I have been following this diamond for about a year now and it has increased dramatically!
