Need help - Why the price difference in these 2 ct WF ACA''s?

sub80 · Jan 14, 2009

First time poster and let me say that this is a great community. I''ve learned a lot over the last few months reading hundreds of threads, tutorials and watching videos (Thanks Jonathan at GOG).

I''m upgrading my wife''s ring for our ten year anniversary, looking for a top performing two carat RB. I''m not stuck on these stones but they interest me and I don''t understand the price difference? Is it just the one color difference? I feel like I''m missing something. The ASET and Bscope images look very comparable to me but I''m very new to those tools. The hearts image on the F/VS2 seems to show inclusions that aren''t on the AGS plot. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just a guess but the lesser priced one is not a 2 carat but just under and also a lower colour. I believe also there are about five steps in each colour grade so maybe a high E and a low F. One may be newer stock too being as that colour grade and size won't be as quick at selling as lower coloured or smaller stones

Edited to add, you have placed the prices the wrong way around in your post.

Hi Sub and welcome,

Ditto Pyramid and those are both gorgeous diamonds.
