My fiancee and I have been engagement ring shopping and I''ve really fallen in love with a Lucida at Tiffany''s. I have read pretty much all the Tiffany''s posts I can find and know that buying from there is a bit controversial.
Here''s the specs- To my eye, I think it''s a very brilliant, beautiful stone (but I worry about what everyone says about Tiffany''s lighting making anything look good and I''m really a novice). Given that it''s not a round cut and it''s the only one cut quite like that, it''s tough to know how it stacks up otherwise. Any thoughts?
Lucida in platinum- $15,500
1.31 carats, H, VVS2
6.32x 6.32x 4.31mm
Cut: Excellent
Symmetry: Very good
Polish: Excellent
Depth %: 68.2
Table %: 60
Crown %: 15.3
Crown angle: 35
Pav depth %: 50
Pav angle: 41
No cutlet
Girdle: slightly thick
Couple other questions:
- When you buy from Tiff & Co, do you go get it independently appraised for insurance, or is that part of the ''Tiffany certificate''?
- Does anyone know of Tiffany''s doing deals- Ie, we offer 15k or 14.5k? Money is not the major concern, but I would feel better if they did a little deal!
Thanks!
