Hello, just registered but have been lurking around for a while.
I''ve decided that it is time to start looking for a ring for my girl. Over the past few months, I''ve been trying to get a taste of what kind of ring/diamond she likes. Although the ring issue is a bigger problem (she likes one style for a month, then decides on a different one), I''m trying to figure out the diamond.
The last few weeks, she finally decided that her favorite cut is the Radiant (she used to like the Cushion). We went to a local jeweler that had a particular ring she liked and I wanted to see it in person. In that setting, there was a 2.22 carat Radiant diamond w/ D/E color & I1 clarity. They wanted to charge 8000$ for that diamond alone and I knew instantly that I could get a better deal elsewhere. The diamond was horrible looking.
Doing some research, I finally decided that a G color with SI1/2 clarity would be the starting point for my characteristics.
Anyway, long story short.... are radiant diamonds rare?
I used the Pricescope Diamond Prices tool with the following criteria:
Radiant, E-H color range, .9 - 2.5 carat, SI1 - SI3 clarity, default table, default depth, GIA/AGS certified.
I get only 3 listings for diamonds that match that criteria. However, selecting virtual gives me dozens of diamonds.
Even going to any of the chain/local jewelry diamond search tools brings up nothing with those specifications and I selected a broad spectrum just to see what I would find. Any ideas?
