I have been doing my homework and educating myself on beginner to intermediate diamond knowledge. I am a few weeks or less from making an engagement ring purchase. I have decided buy through Blue Nile because their financing terms suit my needs better than any other (0% APR for 12 months) If you know of same or better please let me know.
I am looking for this or better but NOT worse: (Budget $10-12k)
ONLY GIA
Carat: 1.15+
Color: F-D (probably F though)
Cut: Excellent
Clarity: IF-FL
Depth %: 58.5-62% (but my sweet-spot is 59.5-61%)
Table %: 55-59% (but my sweet-spot is 56-58%)
Crown angle: 33.5-35.5
Fluorescence: NONE
Symmetry: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
I am also going for larger dimensions hoping for >6.8 x 6.8 x n.nn thus my interest in a mid-lower range depth %.
For quite a few weeks I have been seeing these diamonds ranging in price at Blue Nile and other online retailers for between $10,000-11,000 but now they seem to have gone up 10-20%. I understand diamond prices fluctuate but the timing of this is not ideal for me.
Have any of you used Blue Nile's loose diamond price match?
Can you tell me about your experience, what did you get, for how much, what other site did they match from?
How close do the two diamonds need to be to qualify for the price match? What characteristics, if any, will BN allow to be different/better?
What can you tell me about the supply of this type of diamond in the next few weeks?
Thank you in advance!!
