price for a 2.40 carat vivid blue diamond

[koester_2010]

Hello, I have a question because of a price. I am in contact with a manufacturer, which have a 2.40 carat vivid blue diamond available, not enhanced and not treated in any way. The clarity is VVS1. As Manufacturer, he want a price of 2.2 million dollar for the stone.
My question is: Does the price be justified, or is the price for a manufacturer too high ? He always said, that he has a fair price for the stone. Can anyone help me ?

Thank you.

Mathias

If you have over 2mill to spend on that kind of diamond, I would think you already have a pretty good idea of the quality and cost for such stones.

Sounds high. Go check out the sold lot archives at Sotheby's and Christie's.

Here is a 2.01 VS2 Fancy Deep Blue that sold a year ago for $1,149,730.66 US: http://www.sothebys.com/app/live/lot/LotDetail.jsp?lot_id=159440606

There are many more here.

I''d think with the economy the way it is, you could bargain a bit? I know they go for a boat load... But please come back with pics if you do indeed purchase it...Good luck!!!
