For the past few months, I’ve been doing my homework and trying to learn as much as I can about diamonds in general and Asschers in particular. Now that I’m ready to start seriously looking to buy (in the next several months, I hope), I think I know what I want, but I don’t know what it should cost. My criteria (I think) are:
Asscher cut
2-2.5 carat
F-G
VS1-VS2
I know there are other variables and dimensions to consider, but based on what I have read, I think that the basics listed above will get me a really stunning diamond. Should I be looking at different criteria?
Just as importantly: Does anyone have a sense of what something like this would cost? Is a $20k budget unrealistic? And do you think that prices will be impacted at all by the economy over the next 6-12 months?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
