Price Opinion Please : )

I am considering a 3 diamond-channel set wedding band set in 14K white gold.

Middle Diamond:
Shape: Natural Round Brilliant Cut
Measurements: 4.90 x 4.85 x 3.00 mm
Weight: 0.47 ct
Clarity: VS2
Colour: D-E
Cut: Good

Outside Diamonds (2):
Shape: Natural Round Brilliant Cut
Weight: 0.77 ct (total)
Clarity: VS1
Colour: D-E
Cut: Very Good

Total ct: 1.24
Price: $5600

These stones really sparkle and have great fire (look better than other diamonds I''ve seen), but the asking price seems way off compared to the "pricescope" diamond search.

Help a gal out. Any thoughts please?

Way off it what way? How are ther diamonds cut? Is the setting included. More information please!

 

[la_rock11]

Thanks Matatora for replying.

The channel set band in 14k white gold is included in the $5600.

Off in the sense that a similar spec''d diamonds according to pricescope''s diamond search total about $2000-3000 less than the $5600 asking price.

The stones look great, but is the price right?

So you like a ring with one .47 stone and 2 .34 stones???????
What is the color of the smaller stones???????

 

[la_rock11]

The 2 outter stones are:

Outside Diamonds (2):
Shape: Natural Round Brilliant Cut
Weight: 0.77 ct (total)
Clarity: VS1
Colour: D-E
Cut: Very Good

 

[Maxine]

Sorry...it was there....so you need to compare prices for the stones and figure in cost of band.....OK!

 

[belle]

you could get the same size ideal cut h&a stones for that price.

 

[MissAva]

I know the cut says very ggod but it is diffiult to determine what that means. Do you have any of the crawn, pavillion table numbers?

 

[la_rock11]

Unfortunately I do not. Due to inexperience I did not copy them down. Sorry.

Thanks for asking!

 

[la_rock11]

I just did another search for comparision...

Middle diamond: $1400-1500

Outside diamonds: $1000-1200 x 2 = $2000-2400
http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds/diamond_Details.aspx?itemcode=AGS-6206201

14K White Gold channel set band: $300

Total: $3700 - 4200
Difference ($5600) : $1900 - 1400

Is this on par? I am a newbie and can''t help but feel overwhelmed.

 

[belle]

not only is there a significant price difference, the cut quality (more sparkle) is going to make a huge difference.

 

[la_rock11]

Exactly belle! That''s where I am torn. The 3 diamonds have great sparkle and look much nicer than the other stones I have seen with similar specs, but "spec wise", the prices seem so different.

I''m not sure if I just haven''t seen enought diamonds, or if I am totally off on the prices.

 

[belle]

internet prices are hard to beat. i have looked at many many diamonds locally and even the best of them could not compare with the ideal cut h&a''s i have seen.

 

[la_rock11]

I agree, Internet prices may not have the same overhead a local "brick and motar" store might, thus showing in the prices.

So would you say that the price difference is "on par" with internet and local stores?

 

[belle]

i''m not sure what your question is, but i will say that the stones you linked to are in-line with internet pricing (which is very good) and the price of the ring you quoted seems in-line with that of tradiitional b&m''s.
