Why so low? That's going to be obviously yellow. You’re saying you chose an M color princess cut? Why so low? That’s going to be obviously yellow.

If you want a cheap stone, go for this: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/E-I1-Ideal-Cut-Oval-Diamond-1382292.aspJust have JA check to make sure the fluorescence isn't a problem.

The center stone is 1 ct oval, color G-H, SI, good to very good cut. The remaining stones are round, G-H, SI, very good cut. All are EGL certified. THe company advertises a price of $4000 (with retail value of $9000). Does this sound like a scam? I am looking at a 1.74 total ct. oval micropave engagement ring.

Thanks! Hey Mike,
I just purchased a gorgeous 1/2carat setting from a local store, and for lack of better options in my price range, chose one that was:
Princess .82 carat VS1 M at $1886 (I was trying to stay under $2k)
I haven’t the purchase on the diamond yet and was trying to get more details from them on the diamond such as cut, girdle, crown height etc.
Was only given dimensions of 5.7×5.2×3.6

What do you think and would it be possible to find at lease a VVS2, same size but better color in my price range?
Thanks!

Would it be a nice buy or should I try to find something else with G.I.A.?Thanks in advance.

That stone could be anything. Having said that, $1440 is really cheap for a 0.90ct stone, so you couldn't have gotten screwed that badly :) There’s really no way to tell with stats alone with an EGL certified stone.
