| 1.02 ct D VS2 A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Diamond |
This beautiful 1.02 ct D VS2 A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Diamond is a very nice diamond indeed. Priced at around RM 37,394.06 via Wise wire transfer, I will say the price is fair, once you compared against some locally sourced diamonds with the same 4Cs.
You will definitely see that the price for similar 4Cs vary within a range. However, do check the cut quality of the cheaper ones - does the diamond have well-aligned arrows (at least)? And also the location of the inclusions - do you see obvious dark spots on the table of the diamond? You know, something like that. While we can all agree that diamonds are mostly priced based on the 4Cs, however, there can be better discount for diamonds that do not possess good cut quality or diamonds that have obvious dark inclusions, which make them harder to sell.
Truth is, while there can be very good generic diamonds that are priced at a more affordable price than an ACA, it really takes time and effort from the jeweler that serves you to look for one - a diamond that is compatible to an ACA or close enough to compete with an ACA. And if you managed to find one, then by all means, go for it!
What makes ACA really different is the convenience it provides at a premium. The premium can be 10% - 20% compared to generic diamonds (various cut quality) in the market. Also, a full set of diamond images is also provided to show you what you are actually getting, is also part of the value-added service. If the excellent cut quality and proof of cut quality is something you aiming for, and you are willing to pay for such premium, then ACA is definitely one of the top choices among all the super ideal cuts out there.
