Like any good husband to be I have been researching the field of diamonds for many months now in anticipation of a purchase and did just buy one from ROMM & Co (boston) who got it from Lazar Kaplan.
I bought the following diamond only to find out the next day they misquoted be about $2,000 in my favor.
shape: princess
carat: 1.465
clarity: Vs1
color: G
cut (below)
table: 65.7%
overall depth: 66%
length to width ratio: 1.01
flour: none
culet: none
girdle: med to stk
crown height: about 11%
pol + sym: very good
no fills, drills
manu: lazar kaplan
cost: $10,375
I ended up buying this on its beauty aspect and because the length width, sym, clarity, color and overall appearance is breathtaking. It is a shining star amongst the hundreds of diamonds ive seen.
The reason it was $10K was because lazar kaplan quoted the jewelers at a price per carat of 1.50 - 1.59.
My price per carat was actually in the 1.40 - 1.49 range and suddenly the same diamond cost me $8,500
So suddenly I have a $2,000 credit and they said that a misquote hasnt ever happened. They''ve been around for 100 years. Anyway I appreciate the saleswoman for calling me back it shows real integrity.
Can you believe the cost difference? Lesson learned > stick in the "odd" carat sizes
