FLGIRL 0 Report post Posted November 5 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 32 Report post Posted November 5 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 32 Report post Posted November 5 (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 490 Report post Posted November 6 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.
