Any reputable jeweler (that is not just trying to make the largest commission possible) will tell you that there are certainly some stones in that range that will appear eye-clean (not loupe-clean; EYE-clean). Perhaps you simply have not had the experience that I have; I don't know the reason for your ignorance. If you honestly think that a stone such as this one: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arr...nd-1177142.htm would NOT look phenomenal in a solitaire ring then you really don't know much. Or perhaps you should look at this stone: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=26190....it's a <gasp> J SI2 set in platinum!!!!!! A truly stunning stone that ANY girl would be proud to wear. |
You are a consumer, so I understand why you feel the way you do. I could screenshot a dealers inventory online right now, and show you his stock of diamonds. SI-I clairty stones dominate. My ignorance of SI-I clarity stones comes from countless numbers of consumers buying these stones at malls. They neglect the time to understand what they are buying. My blanket statement that SI stones are shit - is a perfect way to get consumers like you thinking. Personally, I cannot stand mall merchandise because I feel they target the poor-middleclass with a "size first" mentality.
Heres a fantasy example.. If I sold "Ferrari" diamonds, you better believe i'm going to call "Hyundai" diamonds pieces of shit. Of course, there will be the Hyundai fans that disagree. Pride is a motherfucker.
notjoe did his own research and selected a stone that he knows is quality. It's a stone that can easily hold its value.
