Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here!
I’ve asked a friend of a work colleague to make a ring for me as he said he’s been making the family Jewellery for years. This made me trust in him enough to ask him if he could source the stone for me too. He found what I was looking for which was an GIA certified 2.11 ct Oval diamond, D SI2 (17,500$) dealer location is SA.
The only issue is I asked for the diagram of the inclusions I saw many of them located towards the edge (girdle) and this worries me as I believe my current diamond ring chipped due to edge inclusions....
I only have the knowledge that I pick up on these forums and read online but no one to really guide me on whether I should proceed or find another stone. or perhaps I should tell them to reduce the price I’m not even sure if what I’m paying is too much if I’m honest.
I’m due to fly and pick it up this week but I need to be sure before putting that much money down on something I have a funny feeling about...
Please help!!
