Buying a diamond

[Bogeywon 2519]

Upgrading my wife’s engagement ring for our 10 year wedding anniversary. What’s a good price to pay for a loose diamond? Looking for 2 carat loose diamond. Pear shaped. I know how to find a quality one but how do I figure out how much is a fair price?

I used the guy from OB when I got my wife's wedding ring.  Lake Maguire, I think.  

I don't know if he's still around but he was awesome to work with.  I knew jack shit about diamonds.  Know I know slightly more than jack shit.  Might want to try him.

After ten years you should keep the ring and upgrade the wife

Blue nile is a decent place to get a handle on prices for loose stones.

When your husband finds out you have his password he is going to smack you in the fucking mouth.

Done bluenile couple times, pleased both times.  Synthetic diamonds have come long way and when redid wifes ring she specifically wanted "non-mined" diamond.  Didn't realize it was becoming a trend, but I guess there has been a big movement away from mined diamonds because of the abuses.  Worked for me as they are way cheaper and just as nice IMO.

Pawn shop.  Seriously.  They have loose stones; prob not on display, and best to go in when they aren't busy.
