			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, I have been looking at engagement rings at most of the major international and local retailers. Been to Tiffany, Cartier, Harry Winston, Van Cleef, Bvlgari etc. I was blown away by Harry Winston.  Cartier was good too but the service wasn&#39;t as &#39;boutique&#39; as HW. I&#39;ve now pretty much decided on the HW.  Aside from the usual 4C&#39;s, i believe in the beauty of the rock. and at the end of the day the rock should do what it&#39;s supposed to &#8211; sparkle. my question is &#8211; is it alright to simply go for this &#39;sparkle&#39; factor, given the 4C&#39;s are more or less the same. i mean given a rock from a local jeweller with the same 4C&#39;s as one from HW, would the sparkle factor be what is worth paying at least 30% more for? thanks</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took my diamond by what I thought was a reputable dealer and they offered 950.00 which I think is low. They told me my table to depth ratio was off and it makes my diamond smaller that what it is. The GIA cert# is 2121175811, .66 carats. I diamond has excellent shine when the light hits it. Please look at my report and tell me what you think. If you would just tell me what you think a fair price is for the diamond. Thanks</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please help!! I recently got engaged and we took my ring today to get appraised for insurance purposes. Apparently, I selected a HORRIBLE store.  My fiance and I are now very upset that the value we were told is no where near what he paid.  As I have done a lot of online research, I truthfully think the store was extremely wrong.  </p>
<p>Here are the specs; </p>
<p>Color Natural Light Yellow (W-X)<br />
Cushion Modified Brilliant<br />
1.82 ct<br />
Depth 63.7%<br />
Table 66%<br />
Cutlet None<br />
Girdle Thick to very thick<br />
Polish Good<br />
Symmetry Good<br />
Fluorescence Faint Blue<br />
Clarity VS2</p>
<p>The ring also contains 70 round brilliant cut natural diamonds that are F-G in color, VS2-S11 with a weight of .17. </p>
<p>Total ring is 1.99ct. </p>
<p>I love my ring and am simply looking for a general estimate / range of value.  I am going to try to find another store, but I would like to have a better idea of what value I should expect so we don&#39;t have to go through this again.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi – I too am freaking out. I put money down on a beautiful diamond for my girlfriend. It is IGI and now I dont know what to do. Here are the specs:</p>
<p>Round Brill Cut<br />
6.54 – 6.67 x 4.24<br />
1.21 cts<br />
Polish: VG<br />
Symmetry: G<br />
Clarity: VS(1)<br />
Color: Near Colorless (I)<br />
Flouresence: None</p>
<p>Im worried&#8230;b/c I feel I have no real sense of knowledge or control over the situation, while a lot of his money is at stake.</p>
<p>For the diamond alone, I am paying $7,000.00<br />
The price that first stated was 10,000, then I got them down to 8,200 and I continued to get them down to 7,000.00. Am I getting ripped off? Obviously the original price was inflated, making room to deal. PLEASE HELP!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Fred,</p>
<p>Thank you so much for answering my first question! Here&#39;s a follow-up, if you have time:</p>
<p>After reading your book and doing a little additional research, I put together a &quot;specs list&quot; for the diamond I would like to purchase: round, approximately 1.1 carat, I color, SI1 or SI2 and excellent cut&#8230; cut is definitely the most important of the Cs to me.<br />
From scouring around the Internet, visiting a few jewelers and referring to the buying guide in your book, it seems the price tag for such a diamond should be around $7,000. Does this seem reasonable?<br />
A very nice man I talked to from your &quot;My Gemologist&quot; department said I would be looking at spending more like $14,000 for such a diamond. Now I&#39;m confused. Where is the price discrepancy coming from?</p>

I was wondering what quality of diamonds Cartier uses for their weddings bands (women) or their diamond engagement rings? Their website does not mention the grade of these diamonds.
Thank you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey my grandmother had left behind a diamond and there is no certification I can find on the diamond. So I was wondering if the diamond was real. I did a few tests that I found online one of them was turning the diamond upside down on a book and I couldn&#39;t read when the diamond was covering a word.  I also did the breath test it fogs for around one second and then disappears from what I&#39;ve read it seems as if it is real. Any other tests I should try before I bring it to somewhere to get appraised. Thank you for your time.</p>
