0.62 ct Pink Diamond on gemrockauctions

Bergholm,

Before I say anything about the price, I’d like to say a few words about another important aspect here – the quality. I have bought and sold many diamonds (including pink diamonds), and I am very much familiar with this type of pink diamonds – I2 – I3 clarity diamonds (referred to also as Piqué). It is good that the description is honest on this. The seller clearly states that it is I2 to I3 clarity.
What is not entirely honest here, it’s the images. They are photoshopped and substantially enhanced. In reality these diamonds are by far not that vivid pink and saturated. They are much paler and with a brownish hue. I attach an image of a pink diamond here that I bought about a year ago. It’s stock photo was as vivid-pink as yours. So, the reality is very much different. It is always the case with these pink diamonds. So, don’t even dream that this case here is any different. I guarantee you, it is not.
Secondly, these diamonds always have some nicks and cracks. They are always hidden in the images in order to get a better price.
Last but not least, the price – $2490 for this diamond is absolutely outrageous. I have always been buying 1+ carat diamonds (I mean, the same quality and color as this one but bigger). The price range has been from $250 to $290 (including shipping). Oh, and that did include a certificate worth another $30. So, we come to a price of $220 to $260 for 1+ carat diamond. This one should cost no more than 1/2 of that then.
