Hi Inanfan,
I recommend that you do a search using the "find online jeweler" feature at the top of the page. This will allow you to compare diamonds of similar size and quality. Though stones in the 1.8 ct range are not genreally too plentiful. Please note, several things factor into the price including cut quality and grading laboratory. EGL tends to be a little more lenient on grading than say GIA or AGS and you may find that they are priced slightly lower per carat.

Hi Inafanfan,
The scope of the diamond you are looking at means you need to be SURE it has a GIA report. Accept NO substitutes.
NO cutters or dealers trust any lab besides GIA for grading.
If you were buying a $6,000 1.87ct., it would make far less difference.
