I have wanted an old cut cluster ring for some time and am considering finally going for it. My budget is around $5k. These are my two current front-runners. Thoughts on either of these, or if they are priced fairly?
2.39 CTW, ~$5500 (though they allow offers). Link to listing.
2.35 CTW, $3900 (I would most likely have a new setting made). Link to listing.
In the first ring, the diamonds are higher color, but the center stone is a lower clarity. In the second, the diamonds are lower color but higher clarity. It’s tough to tell, but the center stone also looks a bit wonky?
I think I am leaning toward #2, from JbG, and then having it reset eventually. But I see pros and cons to both.
What I’m looking for is a center stone at least in the 5-5.5mm range and an overall cluster size of at least 12mm. Ideally, I’d like a two-tone setting, but I’m negotiable there. If only one metal, I’d prefer a white metal. I also prefer a cluster shape that is more rounded-looking than floral.
