If someone could help me understand if I am getting a good price, I would really appreciate it.

I have decided on a diamond with the following info:

Cut: Round
Carat: 2.01
Color: H
Clarity: S1
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Diameter: 8.25
GIA rated
Cost: $18,100

I am not sure if there is additional info I can add to help the feedback, so if so, please let me know.

Thank you so much - those providing feedback are very helpful.

Hard to say with certainty without actually seeing it. The range for a 2.01/H/SI1 diamond is around $12K-$22K, all depending on the make and other less obvious factors. If it's an excellent stone and you're buying from someone you trust, then you are definitely in the ballpark.

Thank you for the note. Yes, someone highly recommended and the GIA report seems very favorable. I compared it to several comparable diamonds of varying color and clarity.

How much of an impact does the polish and symmetry have? By this, I mean by comparison to VG/VG?

thanks!
