Just read Betsy''s advice- good stuff.
Someone mentioned a US diamond pricing
guide. Is there such a thing available on the
net? I thought rappaport was insiders'' stuff.
Besides, how do you judge a good deal?
Some people say 15% to 20% below rap.
Now- is there a different rap for ideals? H&As?
Or would a good deal on an H&A be the same
as a regular full rap price?
Doing a pricescope search for .60 H&A''s in the
D&E range (VS2-SI1) I got per carat prices of
anywhere between $2000 and $4400 often on
the same color and clarity and from the same
company.
Any explanations? Can the per carat value
of 2 H&A .60s DVS1 vary that much?
What is the main parameter to watch for and
guideline and how much of a markup should
you expect when buying offline vs. online?
Thanks for your thoughts.
