FLGIRL 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2020 I'm having a hard time findig a 2 ct, round, XXX stone in my price range. Is XXX overrated? Would I really be able to tell the difference with a VG quality, assuming I stayed with a G color, same clairty? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furqan Shafi 33 Report post Posted November 5, 2020 More than VG, i think you won't be able to tell G from H apart. So that's another direction you can look at. Swanstar Diamonds.http://www.swanstar.com.auMelbourne, Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furqan Shafi 33 Report post Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Going away from Ex can be tricky. There are many types of VGs. Many of them of not very desirable with girdles quite thick, crown too steep, pavillion too shallow/deep. Nicers VGs don't trade at a much discount compared to their Ex counterparts.

denverappraiser 491 Report post Posted November 6, 2020 Most of my new purchase clients are trying to maximize bling per dollar. That, of course, is not a synonym for 'better', but it's the way things get discussed online and in most jewelry stores. The result is that I find xxx to be overrated because it's not narrow enough, not that it's too narrow. Neil Beaty GG(GIA) ICGA(AGS) NAJA There's never a crowd when you go that extra mile.
