Hi All:
I am new to this forum. I am planning to buy a diamond ring for my wife. My budget is $1500. My requirement is that the diamond should be brilliant. I am ready to compromise on the size for brilliance and fire.
After a lot of reading on the 4 Cs, I figured out that the sequence of C for my requirement would be:
1. Cut
2. Clarity
3. Color
4. Carat
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I checked some of the big brick and mortar chains, and most of them don''t carry ''Ideal Cut''. Especially, H&A type cut. That''s when I turned my attention to web. After, some research work, I zeroed in on the following:
Specs
Shape: Round
Cut : A cut abouve H & A
Carat: 0.38
Color: F
Clarity: VVS1
Depth: 61.9
Table:55
Crown Angle: 34.1
Crown%: 15
Pavilion Angle:40.9
Pavilion%:43
Girdle: Faceted 1.1% to 1.9%
Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Culet: Pointed
Have the following questions:
1. The quoted price for the above diamond is $1400. Is this a resonable price?
2. How reliable it is to buy diamond online?
3. If it reliable to buy, could you please send a list of reliable websites?
4. Does the above spec meet my requirement of high brilliance?
5. I read a couple of postings about apprasing the diamond. I am in WA, is there any website that gives that of registred appraisers?
Thanks,
Laks
