ECHO Diamond Cut

Price - $9,650.00 USD

The diamond is gorgeous and I had to look through a x60 magnification to even see the inclusions. My biggest concern is price and Color Grade as there is a very slight yellow tint to the diamond. When compared with the setting it will be placed in it was much more difficult to see the tint.

Opinions? Thoughts on Price?

Your Feedback is Highly appreciated.

I looked at some well cut Echo Diamonds, they were really pretty, extra sparkly. Robbins Bros, right? B/M prices are always higher than online, so I am sure all here will say $9,650 is on the high side. But if you are shopping B/M's only, I don't think the price is horrible in B/M world.

I wouldn't buy it. You have no idea what you are actually getting for color or clarity.

I would much prefer these options if it was me
