What is a good price for this diamond?

[Ayyo_ao]

Just found this place and really wish I would have sooner. I just purchased this loose diamond on Rare Carat and ran it through the HCA and got a 3.6... Kinda disappointed. I paid $3725 for this .75 F VS1, did I overpay?

Thought I was getting a good deal. Best I could find locally was a .63 F VS2 Ideal for $3150 and it scored a HCA of 1.1...

Kind of bummed. Did I make the right call?

Here's a picture of the GIA

For close to the same amount of money, you could have gotten a much better cut stone, so in that sense you may have overpaid. If you just purchased the diamond, can you return it and start over?

Where can I find such a stone? Yes it is refundable.

These two are F VS1, not as well cut as the other two but still better cut than your RareCarat stone.

I agree, there are many better options within your budget.

Thanks for the great feedback guys. I'm digging white flash and have requested a refund for my other diamond.

I want the best possible cut .75ish, F+, VS2+ stone for around 4k

If I were you, I would get the biggest eye-clean stone I could find that was G+. But if you are most comfortable with F+ then stick with that.

It's possible to get a "high" G that is very close to an F. You could pick three or four of your favorites and ask WF for a side-by-side photo to compare the color.

If you're looking for a .75ct stone, I think you can save some extra cash and go G or even H. It depends what you plan to do with it but if you're going to set it as a solitaire in yellow gold, the F+ is not going to be noticed. If setting in white gold and with other (high colour) stones, then by all means pick F+.
