Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best price?

[mia_olga]

Hi, I have read about the clarity enhanced diamond, and I know what is it. Unfortunately, I can not buy natural diamond without clarity enhanced treatment, but I want big ring (solitaire)!
You can tell where it is better to buy a CE diamond, 0.90 - 1 carat to $ 2000 online?
So far I have found only shireeodiz with good prices.
Thank you.
I already have a diamond (not treated) 0.30 carat, clarity I. I'm don't glad, it is not as brilliant.

For about $2k I would buy something like this. Gets you close to a 1 carat without clarity enhanced.

More Pricescopers will not recommend a CE diamond. They have little resale value and can be damaged.

However most diamonds have little resales (or at least much less than people believe) and CE diamonds are under warranty and can be repaired.

There are different kinds of CE, and some people will only accept drilling and washing out of inclusions with acid. This is permanent, but it does weaken the stone.

I will give you another reason not to CE. Almost everyone who sells them is crooked. For whatever reasons, the jewelry trade has chosen to use the fact that they won't sell CE as a proof that they have "good" diamonds.

If you want to go the CE route, go to the Yehuda Diamonds and find a retailer near you. Then research that retailer to make sure they are helpful and honest. Some of them may be willing to work with you over the phone or online.

Good Old Gold sells some clarity enhanced stones. Right now, all I see are matched earring pairs on their site, but you could contact them to see what they could get for you. http://www.goodoldgold.com/clarity-enhanced-diamonds-12

I would still advise you to get a smaller non-CE stone at a place with a great upgrade policy since CE stones have all kinds of issues. An ideal cut stone is going to sparkle and face up larger than a non-ideal cut stone, and if your current stone is an I clarity, moving up in clarity may also be satisfying (I would try to stick with SI1 and up... I1 stones have visible inclusions, which is not something I'd want), something like these:

I would contact goodoldgold for sure but for fun I will link you to rings in your budget. With the way the economy is bigger rings aren't expected in many circles anymore. Minimalism and smaller more modest pieces are coming back (and I am glad, they are beautiful too!)

This is a stunning ring, high quality stone and setting

Goodoldgold also has access to man/lab created diamonds. They are quite affordable too.

Cant' really say much about the quality of this diamond but its in budget

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

Thank you, Infact, I am afraid of enhanced diamonds..
So, I saw a 100% natural diamons but more smaller, like 0,80 ct
http://www.buydiamonddirect.com/


Clarity is Good.
What do you think about?

I second this! I love this set...if I had any good reason for a diamond ring right now, I'd snap it up. (The selfish part of me hopes it'll remain available until I DO have a justifiable enough reason! )

Not enough info., can you link directly to the stone you're considering? I would recommend Whiteflash, Brian Gavin, Good Old Gold, ID Jewelry James Allen, etc. over that vendor, who I have never heard of.

Never heard of this vendor before but appears that they are based in Florida.

mia_olga, please link to the actual stone as it is very difficult for us to comment based off a listing screenshot.

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

I don't think that stone is still on the site. I suspect the price was a mistake.

This is probably the same stone.

Blue Nile wants $3,841.

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

You could probably get this for 2k

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/191992695926

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

Good Old Gold actually has an impressive lab stone on their site right now for 2K, .87 ct. The only problem is that it's a J and the tint appears to be brownish.

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

I'd recommend a natural non enhanced diamond or if you do decide to buy one that is enhanced ONLY buy one with a lifetime replacement warranty. The reason for this is over time with natural wear and tear and when your hands go near certain chemicals a lot of enhanced diamonds tend to start off life as pretty stones but they can end up looking like frozen spit over time. So you would be better to buy something from a place like GOG that guarantees what they sell or a smaller non enhanced stone which will hold it's value more as well. Designs with halos might give you more finger coverage for example;

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

Ok, I saw all links, I saw links from this website Resources - Diamonds Search and I have found http://www.diamonddealfinder.com/

There are two diamonds I like (I think )
Carat: 0,75
Color: I
Clarity:VS1
Cut: Excellent
Certif: GIA
Polish:Excellent
Symmetry:Excellent
Fluo:None
Price: 2012$
http://www.diamonddealfinder.com/enquiry.php?id_field=5796313
----------------------------------
Carat: 0,8
Color: I
Clarity:VS2
Cut: Excellent
Certif: GIA
Polish:Excellent
Symmetry:Excellent
Fluo:None
Price: 2185$
http://www.diamonddealfinder.com/enquiry.php?id_field=5847004


I chose the compromise and color I. I think that with the naked eye can not see much difference, is not it? I care very much that the diamond shine and is pure enough.
If you have the maximum budget $ 2,500 (not more) and size of from 0.75 to 0.80 carat diamond, which one would you choose the diamond http://www.diamonddealfinder.com/??
Thank you

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

Both of those are kind of deep and are difficult to evaluate over the internet. They will not as bright as other stones, but they may make up for it in fiery colorful flashes if they are well cut. But that depends on the minor facets which you can't see on the certificate and which aren't included in the HCA.

Usually the next step is to ask for an Idealscope, but I don't think USA Certed can get you those--that's why they're inexpensive. However you might call and ask; they are known for being helpful.

Another option is to drop down to an SI1 and look for one with "good" inclusions but again that would mean you go with a higher service dealer.

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

If you are now aiming for a .75 ct I natural stone, you might want to start a new thread BTW. The people who are good at finding these things are likely not reading here.

 

[rubybeth]

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

I would agree that starting a new thread with you budget and preferred specifications is the best idea. I'd also suggest calling ID Jewelry, http://idjewelry.com/ since we have seen many happy customers who call and work with them directly to find a stone within budget that is cut well.

 

[mia_olga]

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

Ok, thank you. I will follow your advice

 

[arkieb1]

Re: Where I can buy clarity enhanced diamond ring best pric

I agree contact IDJ tell them Pricescope members sent you and ask what they can find that is eyeclean, well cut and in budget.
