With that kind of budget, I wouldn't skimp on cut quality. With a cushion cut diamond, you should still be able to get close to that size anyway. Good Old Gold is a very reputable store in the US and they're pretty well known for their excellent selection of cushion cut diamonds. You can see...

I second the recommendation for Pricescope. They have a great price comparison tool on there which allows you to enter your preference in terms of size, colour grade, etc and brings up a list of stores that stock what you're after and the price. I have used Eternity Diamonds (I dealt with Yoni)...

The Blue Nile signature ideal diamonds just over 2 carats with a good colour and clarity grading seem to be 35k+. It also depends on the shape - round diamonds are the most expensive and they're the ones I was talking about.

I would never pay 30k for a diamond that was only "very good" cut (or even less money, for that matter). The cut grade is the most important specification. If you've got that much money to spend, I would get an AGS 000 with hearts and arrows :)

Depends on the specs :p How about this: http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3208302.htm

I think you mean cut rather than setting - princess and cushion are both types of cuts :p The setting is the style of ring that the diamond is set into

Are you kidding me? Many people in the world would be lucky to own one piece of jewellery that would have diamonds - even two would be very unusual. 80% of diamonds are mined for industrial use (they have the highest hardness of any material and are very effective in cutting and grinding...

I agree that Tiffany's jewellery is overpriced but there's absolutely nothing wrong with a G colour stone. Most face up pretty white and it'd be much better to go for a well cut G coloured diamond than an average cut E colour. Most people would prefer the G in this instance if they were judging...

I agree with them that cut quality is often very underrated and overlooked in preference of colour and clarity gradings. Although very few jewellers provide them, ASET images can be helpful in determining light distribution of diamonds which can make a big difference to how the stone appears...

They're cubic zirconias. You can buy them from any jewellery store. They have quite a big mark up at Shh Secrets. Many people mistake them for lab created diamonds which they not - good quality lab diamonds (that many experts can't differentiate from real diamonds) cost thousands of dollars...

That's incorrect. Most chain stores in Australia sell pretty poor quality stones and they are also not certified by the most reputable grading labs. My ring was purchased in the US for 3.5k and was valued here for 10k. I saw a very similar ring for sale here for that price too however the...
