hi. i am looking at getting a manufactured yellow diamond for my fiancee. i am looking for something around 1.1+ carats, round cut that will go into something like a (pave) halo setting. i have found two stones that i am looking at, one from takara and one from d.nea.
takara info: 1.25ct, vs1, fancy vivid yellow, $4500 (takara diamond)
d.nea info: 1.1ct, vs2, fancy vivid yellow, $4950 (d.nea diamond)
the d.nea is more expensive and smaller and lesser clarity (vs2), but it comes with a warranty from d.nea that allows you to trade up or they will buy it back at 70% of its current market value.
the takara is less expensive, larger and better clarity (vs1), but has no such warranty (at least not one that is listed).
lastly, the d.nea diamond has "cross fluorescence". i haven''t been able to find any information on that type of fluorescence, and was wondering if it is anything i should be concerned with.
FINALLY.... my question is regarding the difference between these two diamonds and their manufacturers. what is the main difference between takara and d.nea? i feel like the d.nea warranty makes it a bit more appealing, but i am not sure why it costs more. any recommendations would really be appreciated.
any and all input regarding your thoughts and experiences with these makers would be great. thanks!
