A little over a year ago I began reeducating myself about diamonds for an engagement ring. Once I understood what an OEC diamond is and saw a couple in the wild, I knew for certain that is not only what I wanted, but also have nonchalantly confirmed she will love it as well. For the past several months I have been searching for an OEC or Transitional with the characteristics and personality that only a 1920's - 1930's era diamond display for the engagement ring.
After speaking with a few jewelers, I finally found an outstanding jeweler that is willing to work on finding an OEC diamond within my price range with the best cut (for that era), color and clarity. Other jewelers didn't seem interested in helping me or would tend to guide me away from the idea of an OEC.
It's been a few months that I have been searching and only this past month have I been working with this particular jeweler. Just yesterday they sent me this one for my consideration, but it's a considerable jump in price from what I have been looking at and I feel like it's overpriced at $9800. If you would, please take a look and share with me some thoughts, considerations, advice, guidance... I believe I know enough to understand but by no means would I consider myself "knowledgeable".
