So, my husband and I have been looking for our first diamond ring. We have been saving for 12 years. We have bought and returned two emerald cut diamonds from two different online vendors. Neither one of them worked for us.
We wound up seeing a ring that caught my eye and asked to try it on. The ring is platinum. The center stone is a disproportionate asscher so it looks like an emerald cut. It is I in color with VS2 clarity. It is GIA certified. The table on this is 76% with the depth being 59%. This stone in the middle is 1.89 carats. There is a half carat trapezoids on either side that are H in color. The ring cost me just under 19,000.00. This is a pretty good deal considering there is almost 3 carats worth of diamond there.
should I keep the ring? Or should I buy a stone online so I can get colorless and potentially better quality and have a designer try to replicate the mount with the same size trapezoids?
My whole life I dreamed of an emerald cut diamond and it had to be certain clarity and color, etc. I am currently wearing the ring and have 28 days left to wear and see if I want it. Do you think it would be a better value to return the ring to the store and buy my diamond online and have someone make the mount that can get his hands on wholesale diamonds and makes his own mounts?
