3ct radiant diamond, good buy??

Looking to buy a 3 ct Radiant diamond! Total price is $16,800 including taxes. Local jewelry store. Is this a good price??

Have you looked at similar size/color stones to compare prices? I genuinely don't have a good sense of how much something of that big size but low color would cost. And I can't get a sense for the facet pattern or anything from the pic.

I have not been able to find any stones that are. M color besides this one! I’ve been trying to find a good comparison but no luck.

Do you want an M color? It's important to know what is important to you in terms of cut, color, size, budget, etc.

I happen to like this facet pattern, but don't like the IGI certificate.

This one has an unusual facet pattern but I think it's really cool

Well originally I was just browsing! of course a 3ct at that price seemed great and it has great sparkle factor. I’ve seen it in different lighting. Color isn’t a big deal to me considering I have awful sight. Also. Size 7 ring so I figured bigger would be better. Cut & carat top priority. Now that I’m looking I wouldn’t want to go over $20k. They’re beautiful but I’m a saver rather than a spender so it’s hard to want to spend a lot!

Price aside, do you love this diamond? I would look up comparables to see which one you like best!

I went to a different store today and saw a 3 ct K vs2 for $43k! Hubby & I bith prefered the M color much better! I was able to get a better pic of the diamond. I do love it just don’t know a lot about diamonds!

Take a look: WWW

One NSI1/10K radiannt listed around there seems a good comparison to your find. A very bright cut would make these light colors dissapear much of the time - play with light, the 4.44 looks the part.

I dont love the facet pattern, but obviously seeing it in person is different than looking at pictures.
