1 last expert opinion needed b4 purchase tomorrow morning

[frikfrak2]

I don''t have many details (unfortunetly)

all I know is the following:

14caratgold
solitaire
SI
.33
GH

900 $ CDN (canadian)

I know it''s not a lot of money to spend on a ring compared to other people here but we all have our budgets

One last expert opinion would be greatly apprecieted before I take "the moment of truth"

 

[frikfrak2]

so, is it a sink or swim?

go or no-go?

anybody?

 

[Mara]

how much is that in US $$? I am too lazy to calculate.

 

[frikfrak2]

1287$ us

 

[Kamuelamom]

Even w/o more details I'm guessing it still sounds kind of high.

 

[frikfrak2]

High?

really?

the ring and the diamond.

1287.00 US

Seems really A LOT to me... On pricescope I found several ideals at $500-600... A simple setting should be between $75-120, so even the total is almost one half of your quoted price.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but $900 Canadian = $655 US.

 

[Mara]

You're right Hogerhond....it's $655.

$655 sounds reasonable for the stone and setting though what sort of cut is it?

Yeah, I thought canadian dollars translated to less US dollars not more.

 

[Mara]

Here are a few to compare to as well. These are AGS 0 Hearts and Arrows cuts, excellent....not just any regular old stone. Add in a white gold solitaire setting for around $150...and you are looking at very slightly more than what you are about to pay, but what sort of cut is your stone?

Something is wrong with your calculations $900 Canadian dollars is $655.73 US dollars.


Whoops. See this has already been spotted.

 

[Kamuelamom]

Oh yes, I guess frikfrak2 went the opposite way on the conversion. In that case, it may not be soo high afterall, huh.

 

[frikfrak2]

I'm going to pick up the ring today!.. woohooo....

I'm the type of person that can't keep a secret. How am I not going to tell my gf. We're leaving friday. what am I gonna do from now until friday. I need to tell somebody!!!...LOL....
