Not to throw a wrench in things, but have you seen this ring by Diamonds by Lauren? I tried it on in person and it's beautiful. The color is much better in person. And the price can't be beat!!
2.21ct Emerald Cut Emerald Ring
This is a stunning 2.21ct Emerald Cut Emerald. The video really shows the true beauty of this emerald. It is quite lively.www.diamondsbylauren.com
I have a big anniversary coming up and I’m looking at two different emerald rings. The price points are pretty different but both within budget and I’m not sure what to do/which to choose.
Ring A is 2.26ct in the emerald, no cert, assumed oiled.
Ring B is 2.45 in the emerald, GIA cert.
What should I be looking for? What should I be considering? Any feedback is welcome!
Why is there no location posted on the GIA report?
A Report with Columbian origin is extremely necessary if you’re paying a Columbian premium for the stone. That seems suspect.
Just to be totally clear, Ring B was NOT from DBL (the DBL ring later shared with me just happens to be an identical setting with traps). But I agree!Strange that there was no disclosure that the DBL emerald was “second hand“ “estate“,”used“, “vintage” or any other such designation that the stone was not mine direct to this purchaser. Is anyone troubled by that? Seriously, had the purchaser not discovered the wear and made an inquiry, and the price did not reflect prior use, IMHO I would not consider buyIng anything from that vendor.
