Just found a very decent diamond in Expert Selection, the diamond was from last year so again, you may want to check whether it is a trade-in stone, just to be safe. Personally, I don't think it is.
I am not sure why nobody has ever noticed this beautiful stone. The price is very decent for its specs! At USD 1710 (wire price), you can already get this beautiful 0.553 ct G SI1 Expert Selection Round Cut Loose Diamond!
This diamond falls into Expert Selection due to the some technical penalization after evaluated by WhiteFlash in-house experts. Check out the images below, can you guess which one penalized it?
Well, if you are guessing the ASET, then yes, you are right. However, considering the overall cut precision and the redness of the IdealScope and ASET, I don't think you will notice any difference between this stone and a similarly cut WhiteFlash ACA stone. The biggest difference you may notice is probably the PRICE! There are even cases whereby a WhiteFlash ACA stone loses to an Expert Selection stone based on feedback in the popular diamond forum - PriceScope. I am guessing that was because the Expert Selection has close cut quality and has better proportions that suited the taste of the viewers more. Things like that do happened. Not every diamond is the same!
So, let's check out the price of this diamond:
Throw in my one of my existing ring setting designs, which I will probably charge you around RM 1400. So you get RM 7144.67 + RM 1400.00 = RM 8544.67.
Remember, your diamond is a 0.553ct diamond! Not 0.5ct!
We can also use a "special formula" to calculate, multiply each of the dimensions together and multiply again with 0.0061. You will get around 0.548ct. So if we round up to nearest 2 decimal places, we can say that this diamond is cut to close to a 0.55ct.
Of course, do take your time research your options on their website and see what you are comfortable with. Your options are plenty!
