Q&A: Looking for Information: What Price to Expect on a 2 Ct. Round Diamond?

By Mike Fried,

Can you give me an estimate in AU$ price that one should expect to pay for a:
2.01 carat E/F colour SI1 XXX faint flourescence and
2.01 carat E/F colour VS1 XXX faint Fluorescence

Thank you.

Do the diamonds have a legitimate certificate (GIA or AGS)? If so, can you send me their number? I need to see the overall specifications in order to give you a well-informed feedback. Also, what shape of diamond is that?

I do not have access to certificates because there is no specific diamond as yet. I was hoping to get a guide as to price for a diamond with those specifications. It is a round diamond.

Also do you recommend Brian Gavin diamonds?

Thank you for the information. Is there a reason why you’re looking for such high color grades? An H color diamond is also going to look colorless in any style of settings and it saves you a lot of money.

If the color is still important for you, here’s my suggestion:

Here’s an SI diamond:

It’s important to make sure that an SI diamond is eye-clean. And as you can see, if you focus on one quality (lower clarity grade), you might end up with a more expensive stone.

Let me know what you think.

H is fine also.

What about Brian Gavin?

If an extraordinary brilliance is what you’re looking for then I I’d suggest Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows. That’s exactly what they focus on and you can be sure that you’ll receive the best of diamonds. Not only do these conform to the strictest of cut parameters, but Brian himself selects them for optimal brilliance. Brian Gavin is known as one of the worlds experts when it comes to perfectly cut diamonds. If you want to spend extra on their cut, it’s a great way to go.

Let me know what you decide.

Thank you.

My pleasure helping you. Keep me posted.

Thank you I will.
