Hi,

I'm new here and have read quite a bit of very useful information on this site. I decided to check out several of the internet vendors that have been given positive reviews here and I contacted one of them (Union Diamond) to get some pricing for a pair of diamond studded earrings. I asked that they be certified and met some minimal standards. The info I got back was timely and matched the requirements I had requested. The only problem is that I wonder whether the pricing is valid...it actually seems too low compared to other sites and stores I have been to. So...I would really appreciate some feedback on this. Here are 2 different pairs that were quoted to me:

The first pair:
AB978809 0.90 I Si1 GIA for $3175 wire price or $3270 cc price
60.8 depth 57 table with Excellent Cut, Very Good Polish, Very Good Symmetry, measures 6.22 x 6.25 x 3.79 mm
Matches
AB999334 0.92 I Si1 GIA for $3246 wire price or $3343 cc price
62 depth 58 table with Excellent Cut Polish and Symmetry, measures 6.21 x 6.25 x 3.86 mm
1.82 carats total weight

The 2nd Pair:
AB947256 1.01 I Si1 GIA for $4294 wire price or $4423 cc price
61.8 depth 58 table with Excellent Cut Excellent Polish, Very Good Symmetry, measures 6.42 x 6.45 x 3.98 mm
Matches
1.01 I Si1 GIA for $4406 wire price or $4538 cc price.
61.5 depth 59 table with Excellent Cut Polish and Symmetry, measures 6.43 x 6.48 x 3.97 mm.
2.02 carats total weight

Thanks for your help.
 
What are the GIA report numbers?
 
The GIA report numbers are:

1st pair...2121473843 and 6127638451

2nd pair...6107876418 and 2111845321

Thanks.
 
Prefer the 1st stone of the 1st pair from the numbers. The rest tends to be leaky and needs to be kept cleaner than #1 for the same sparkle.
 
Thanks Stone-cold11.

Not sure I fully understand "leaky", but I guess it refers to light going through the stone instead of being reflected.

So, I think my main concern and the reason I wrote the post was to get an opinion about the pricing for these stones...whether or not it was "in the ballpark". Put another way, I want to be sure I'm being given realistic quotes for the size and specs of these stones.

Thanks again
