looking at lucere diamond, need help :-)

[Jana]

While I always thought I would want a round diamond for my engagement ring, I really like the way the more square shapes looks on me. We’ve been looking at radiants, but just saw a Lucere - which seems to have lots more sparkle/fire.

1.0 ct, color F, VS2
depth 69.3%
table 62%
GIA cert
for around $6500

Looking around a similar E or F VS2 radiant, we’ve seen the price as about $5000/ct.

Does the price on the Lucere I’ve described above seem reasonable price? Does the price for a Lucere differ by that much? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The cutter will try to limit discounting by restricting sales to upmarket vendors, and it is an upmarkety product

The worst Lucere I have seen out performs any radiant I have seen, but only about 1/3rd of the Luceres I have seen got exceptional Ideal-scope results. There are better and worse Lucere's.

Thanks for the reply. I like the way the Lucere looks, too.

I would still appreciate any feedback on whether the price for this diamond seems reasonable or out-of-whack based on info given.

Big purchase (for my boyfriend) and something I'll be wearing for a long time. Thanks in advance.

Do a price search in by cut quality on the first page in the round stones. This will give you a top price for top round stones - remember though internet stones have low overheads.
