Hello all, I am new and this is my first post. I have enjoyed reading all the posts as I am trying to figure this whole diamond buying process thing out. I am looking to trade in my .71 princess H color and VS1 in clarity with the jeweler that I bought my current ring from. I am wanting to go to appx. a 1.25 and today he brought in 3 diamonds for me to see. They were all from this place called Stuller company and had a "red box diamond theme" where the loose stone was actually presented in a red box. 2 of the diamonds were the princess cuts and the other was a radiant. I have never seen one in person and wanted to view one. The radiant did not strike my fancy so that one is out. The problem is, from what I can gather on here is the stones are cut too deep. Here are the specs if you don''t mind. I have a copy of the GIA certs and I will print what is on them. If anything else is needed I don''t have it. (sorry)
Stone 1
Rectangular Modified Brilliant 1.25 ct, 6.07x5.44x4.55, depth 81.8, table 71, girdle thick to very thick, culet-none, Polish/symmetry-Good/Good, VS1, G color, Fluorescence-None, Comments-None
Stone 2
Square Shape, 1.23 ct, 5.77x5.49x4.38, depth 79.8, table 68.8, girdle very thick, culet-none, Polish/Symmetry-Good/Good, VS2, G color, Fluorescence-None, Comments-Cloud, crystal, needle,feather
Both stones seem rather expensive, stone 1 is $6281.25 after $3500 for my diamond and stone 2 is $5646.00 after $3500 for my stone.
Both stones were very beautiful, but if they were not so deep would it be a prettier stone. And is it too much money for the stones? And is there something special about this particular company?
The jeweler also told me that if I did not trade in my stone that he would beat any internet price by under 100.00, of course this is on comparable diamonds.
Thanks for any input, I really appreciate it.
