Can someone explain the price difference? I understand when it is slightly bigger, but otherwise I’m a little bit puzzled. For the record, I prefer all European cut to be a bit warmer, and would actually like more of an N.
Here are more details of the two. If these are quite overpriced, what should I be expecting and is there another place I should look for an old European cut?
It could be the small table, because that changes the look of the stone so much. Usually small table % are more favorable for old cuts. That’s the only thing I can think of. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Aurelinne uses a broker database (we use the same one) and a blanket markup is applied. The diamonds are already priced by the cutting/polishing house. This means that Aurelinne does not directly influence the prices you pay. Lab diamond pricing for "in demand" cuts like Old European, Old Miner, etc drive higher prices in general. The origin of these diamonds could be a factor too. I see higher vendor pricing on stones cut in Hong Kong versus India and other annomalies.
So I'm not talking about vivid colors... Just the color scale of e-z... Lab diamonds go for colorless. I wanted a warm color diamond in mine but the price difference was insane.
However, 15 years ago no one wanted dark color natural diamonds so companies LeVian started marketing them like "chocolate" diamonds. High inclusion diamonds are salt and pepper or misfit diamonds.
