Howdy,
After many months of looking I have widdled down the thousands of diamonds out there to a lonely 2 (perhaps 3 but I'll tell you bout the third).
I am thinking of going with a three stone 14 kt white gold engagement ring.
For the centre stone
1) .574 5.33-5.36 X 3.27 mm HEARTS and ARROWS
Crown angle 34.3 Pavillion 40.7 Faceted 1.3%-3.7%
Light Performance 0
Proportion factors: 0
finish Polish ideal and symmetry ideal
Color F (ags 1.0)
clarity SI 1 (ags 5)
Flourescence negligble
pinpoints are not shown
Cost for this diamond is $2486 CDN (2105 USD)
2) GIA .56 According to store it is hearts and arrows.
5.30-5.32x3.29
62.0 depth
56 table
girdle very thin to medium faceted
cutlet none
finish polish vg symmetry vg
clarity SI 1
characteristics feather
Colour F
fluor none
$1883 CDN (1594 American)
Which Diamond should I choose? Do the certificates usually verify if they are hearts and arrows or not?
Also What price should two .17 SI1 f-g colour diamonds cost? I want to make sure I'm not overpaying they want $695 CDN (587 USD)
The third option which I am not considering to seriously is a diamond that is certified by the imfamous Gemscan in toronto and it is an SI1 F colour .61 carats but it doesnt have any reliable certificates but looks pretty good. The lady wants $3200 Cdn for the whole thing taxes in (FOR the 3 stone setting in white gold)
There is a very big price difference between the first two diamonds. Is it worth it for me to pay the extra $500-600 for the AGS certification to know that it's an optimal diamond.
Your personal opinions on all the above would be appreciated thanks
