Antique Diamond Ring 2 carat?
August 17th, 2010
Bride to be asked:
Hi,
Hi,
I am looking at purchasing a diamond ring that is quite old.
2.05 carat
I1 clarity
I colour
Round diamond.
I am unsure of the metal its either white gold or platinum.
It is fairly cheap (£1500 -£2000), and definitely in our pricerange as it is an antique. I know that I1 is frowned upon but if it looks okay does it matter? The cut I am assuming is not so good as its so old and the new diamonds are better cut.
I am just wanting to hear everyone’s opinion.
Thanks

have it appraised
why are you asking peeps that cannot see it?
that is gold or white gold not platinum that is no carat
Unfortunately included diamonds diamonds are not worth all that much. The colour is not so good either. However if it is a solitaire then the diamond is HUGE.
As a solitaire that is a good price simply because it is hard to get stones that big, but the quality is crap. As a multiple stone ring it is expensive.
Are the inclusions black and visible? that would be one thing to deter me. But if you love it and it looks good to you then go ahead and buy it.
I personally adore antique engagement rings. They have much better designs and are much lovelier then cold sterile rings you get today. If you are looking for better quality diamond antique ring, I strongly suggest eBay. that is where I got mine.
It doesn’t really sound like great quality. If you like it then go ahead and but it, but it is expensive.
That’s HORRIBLE quality. Trust me, you’ll notice in a 2ct with that bad of clarity. I would honestly buy something smaller with a lot better color and clarity then waste money on that. Size does not override quality.
