Please assist in finding a good value 0.75ct Princess Cut diamond. My original diamond budget was $3000, but I’m starting to think I can save more.
The James Allen rep has pushed a $2800 rock, but I think I can go lower. Here are some diamonds I’ve been looking at:
1. JA rep recommended $2830 – https://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/G-VVS2-Ideal-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1542143.asp
2. $2440 – https://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/H-VS1-Ideal-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1531893.asp
3. $2660 – https://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/I-VS1-Very-Good-Cut-Princess-Diamond-1506357.asp
Let me know if you can there are other viable options. Thanks!
To be honest, the JA recommendation is the best. It has the best cut. I wouldn’t recommend the I color at all. The H color is ok, but there isn’t that much of a price difference between the two and I think the better cut will be noticeable.
Thanks for getting back.
There is a noticeable price difference in symmetry, polish, and proportions in princess cuts. Is the proportion aspect very important in the ‘flash/bling’ of the diamond? Or is it strictly for the appearance of the ‘rock’?
Polish/symmetry aren’t important, but the depth/table are.
