Hey guys,
I figured I''d ask here as I''ve read through the posts and found some good information, and now I need some help making a choice on a diamond for the ring that I am planning on having made.
It''s a Precesion Set setting that holds either a .70-.79 or a 1.0-2.0 as they make 2 versions of the setting. I was told that I could have a .90 or so fit into the larger of the 2 if it had the right dimensions. So I got that portion taken care of.
I''ve been working with a few different places. Everything I''ve been looking at is either a G or H in color, VS1-VS2, in the same karat range, and the prices vary a bit. Some are GIA graded (mostly the G''s) and the others are EGL graded (as high as a E in color). As an example I have a as an example:
.89ct EGL E/VS2 D=59.9, T=69 6.18x6.28x3.73mm for $3700 Fl=None,
Culet=None
OR
90ct G/VS2 GIA, T=56 D=61.1 Pol=EX, Sym=VG, Girdle=Th-SlTh, FL=None, Culet=None 6.22x6.25x3.81mm $4266
I haven''t found enough information about EGL but know that most places seem to be GIA atleast. I know the EGL doesn''t have as clear of specs as per say the GIA but that was what I was told.
On the stones that are in the .70-.79 so far they''ve all be EGL rated and price out between $2500-2800 for G/VS1/VS2 ratings. So I have no comparison on GIA rated stones in that size.
I am just looking for some advice on this as far as the stones go. I''ll go either size, but don''t know enough on the grading standards to tell which one would be the better one. Any help is greatly appricated!
Thanks guys,
Chris
