Hi All:
I too am so appreciative of all the support I have been receiving from Price Scope. I feel so much more educated and value the feedback I receive.
Not knowing much about diamonds, my husband bought me a pair of LEO earrings. I have to say, they are pretty and sparkle. So - I went back to Kays to look for a loose 1 carat for my ring. I am keeping my setting. To make it more afforadable to me - they will take a trade in and some financing. If it were a deal I couldn''t pass up, then I would charge it!
So, Kay''s is offering me a round cut, 1.01, Ideal Cut, Table is 58.5%, Depth is 59.6% Color is E SI1 for $5,600 (they will take my .58, S12, H color marquis for $1,600)
I then went to an independant store in Wichita, KS - Clarks. Maybe it is because I didn''t have on designer clothers or something, but he was pushing the enhanced diamond on me. He said no one would ever know and no one has ever returned one to him with issues. I walked out.
I then went to Jewelry Saver''s which is a tiny shop (almost hole in the wall place) with no special lights, etc. They showed me one that had too much of a depth so he called me later (the only jeweler that has called me) and said he found one he thought more in line with what I wanted out of NY. It is 1.02 Round, Depth , Table is 58%, Crown is 14%, Pavillion 44%, Girdle is MED and Faceted (which is new to me), Cutlet, None, Polish VG, Symmetry Excellent and cut is Ideal. Color is H, SI1.
Cost is $5,450. - He also has The Rapaport but it was from Sept. 06.
So - any comments? Kay''s or Jewelry Saver''s?
