I’m searching for an engagement ring and I have a quandary.
I read that a round diamond is more valuable than a princess cut for multiple reasons like brilliance and desirability or demand.
The jeweler who’s rings I’m most interested in said “A well-cut princess-cut diamond could easily cost more than a round-cut diamond and setting a princess-cut diamond is more complex and the setting itself is bigger so it costs more.”
I asked for the price of a slightly larger princess diamond going from 0.4 to 0.5 in a 14k ring and he quoted me 500 dollars more which is closer to his 18k rings with a 0.5 round diamond.
Is it reasonable and true what he said because he wouldn’t go down any price and it’s not even 18k.
For 18k and 0.5 the price of it went up 750 dollars.
Does the complexity of setting a princess diamond make it worth the same or more than round?
Thanks for any thoughts!
Right! I do want to buy it because it appeals to me. I want a slightly larger stone too. I’m just shocked the price difference is 500 dollars going up 0.4 to 0.5. Makes little sense to me.
