If you had ten thousand $

[Maryam]

If you had ten thousand $ (give or take) and were in the market for a round brilliant, what stone would you buy that''s out there on the market? Any size, any color, clarity, etc. Up to you. How would you maximize this money?

Maryam,

Try www.superbcert.com, www.whiteflash.com and www.goodoldgold.com. There are plenty of H&A stones that are over one carat in your price range.

HI there,

I have looked at all the sites and done searches. I am just curious what YOU what pick - would you go for smaller, whiter, etc.? What would YOUR combo look like?

thanks,
Maryam

Alexah,

Wow that is a great looking stone you got with such good specs. And nice and big. I have been looking but haven't seen anything like that. Not yet. Sigh........

Thanks for posting!

 

[alexah]

thank you v much maryam

got it just before the price increase in august - that same stone would be more today - by about $600-$800, unfortunately...

If I were making the ring for my mom today, I'd be on the phone askin Mark if this 1.80 H SI2 w Medium Blue Fluor for $9428 is eye-clean

If I had to decide today, I'd pick the below using Search by cut quality


1.63c/I/VS1/HCA 1.2 $9999*S

 

[alexah]

Funny - it says SOLD when i pull it up... oh well, we're only dreaming we had $10K anyway so it's all yours!! ENJOY

I like whiter stones in that size - I would go with the largest G/F SI1 ideal cut I could find.

For JUST a stone probably about a 1.4 G VS1 Star 129 (or similar cut). I don't think Id look good above that size.

Maryam,

Sorry, I misunderstood you. If I were in your shoes, this would be my choice. http://www.superbcert.com/Shop_By_Product/Diamond_Details.cfm/P/238338/N/1;1

It's a Superbcert H&A, 1.51, VS1 clarity, H color.

This is my dream diamond...

1.16 D VVS2

OK.. it's definitely more than $10K, but...

 

[valeria101]

Does it need to be a single colorless RBC diamond ?

Than, THIS does it. At pretty tight competition with a smaller cleaner one. No smart shopping here, just my taste speaking up

It so happens that a turquoise set just fitting the price point took my breath away last evening at a concert. Good grief!

I actually talked to Barry about this stone but it is just about $12,000. A little too rich for my blood unfortunately.......The setting I want is about $2000 and so my whole budget is about $12,000. My husband is shellshocked that I want to spend this much on a ring......We are in the midst of buying land in Marrakech and I can just see him thinking all of this can be going towards are dream house........
