Hello everyone,
Thanks to this forum, I purchased a wonderful solitaire natural 0.5 ct diamond necklace last year from Whiteflash. Now, I am interested in natural diamond studs and I plan to purchase them from Whiteflash as well. I am based in Spain and need to pay 21% VAT for any Whiteflash purchase.
I’m trying to figure out what diamond size would be best for me. Initially, I wanted 2 ct (1 ct each diamond) round cut, but after reviewing the prices, I realized I don’t have enough of a budget to pay more than 10k EUR. However, I do have around 3-5k for 1 ct (0.5 ct each diamond) now. I’m considering A Cut Above, I, VS2.
The most important thing for me is to purchase high-quality, sparkling diamonds that I can later pass down to my daughter. I’ve heard that diamonds under 1 ct don’t hold as much value as 1 ct diamonds, so I’m wondering whether I should wait and save up for 2 ct studs or if 1 ct would still be a good option. Also, I’ve never had a 1 ct diamond; would I notice a significant difference between 1 ct (0.5 ct each diamond) and 2 ct (1 ft each diamond) in my ears?
Perhaps I could save some money by adjusting the diamond’s quality (inclusions, fluorescence, and color), but how would that affect the sparkle, which is the most important factor for me and diamond value? Would it be very noticeable if I chose a VG cut instead of an A Cut Above?
What would your suggestions be?
Thank you in advance!
