So I have been looking at loose stones and I've hit a wall I can't seem to figure out. If I select a specific CCC and filter down to a list of LG diamonds, then sort by price high-to-low and low-to-high, I find what appears to be the exact same diamond, but one may be $15,000 and the other $900. I have compared manufacturing methods, certifying labs, all the specific dimensions (T/D/S/F/LWR) and they both compare exactly. I can find nothing in the details of each diamond that says "this diamond is 15X more expensive because of this: ____________". Nor can I find "This diamond is 15X less expensive because this is what's wrong with it: _____________"
It's because of this that gives me great pause in purchasing a LG diamond. It is like the show "Whose Line is it Anyway": All the prices are made up and none of the certificates matter.
Can anyone shed what is the "secret sauce" that makes a diamond with the same stats as a $900 diamond cost $15,000? Here's an example:
#27198968, 3ct F VVS2 IGI Excellent Excellent Excellent: $957 B2C
#25751190, 3ct F VVS2 IGI Excellent Excellent Excellent: $15,000 Blue Nile
You can repeat this with any CCC combination. It's always the same result... one that's cheap and one that's insanely expensive, both identical stats. Help! I'm going crazy.
