Harry Winston Engagement Ring Price Points?

[catabie]

I looked at a 5 ct D, SI1 at De Beers, it was listed at USD225000; it's a radiant cut. And I could get a stone in better quality for 50,000-75,000 less. So it's obvious for me and hubby that we are not going for a name brand anymore.

I really like the legacy setting from Tiffany but any jeweler can do something very similar without violating the patent design.

I was like that before when I was younger, I prefer a name brand engagement ring. but honestly now that i am older, i prefer quality stone with a good price tag over anything.

Larger stone diamond prices have gone crazy!
Wonder if there is data about how size of diamonds in engagements rings have gotten bigger since 2000. Guess I'll look.

DF got me a princess cut around 5 ct from HW a while ago, i have no idea who much it was, on our first date, as a joke i told him i wouldnt marry anyone if i dont get a 5 ct princess cut from HW, so he got it, but it was a very plain setting and even though it was a HW, my mom decided to re designed it and i like it a lot better now.. soo i think what i was getting was even if it was a HW ( i wanted one) the most important thing is if u like the design or the ring than i guess its yours~ for mine i really like the redesigned one more than the original HW, so after all DF did feel like he wasted $ because he paid way more for a HW and i got it redesigned.. soo i guess the best is to go for the one that speaks to you heart

These prices are for the HW micropave cushion ring:

1.05 F VVS1: $23,700
1.27 ct: $26,600
1.52 E VVS2: $34,400
1.52 F VS1: $32,500
1.55 D VVS1: $36,700
1.7 E VS1: $36,300
2.07 F VS2: $53,400
3.00 ct: $116,000!

Obviously, HW rings carry a very large premium but they are beautiful in person. They do negotiate too and I've heard of others getting around 20% discounts before. A 2 ct ring is about double the price of a 1.5 ring.

They also can use radiant shaped diamond instead of cushions if you'd prefer that, but I don't know if the prices differ.

Hi, I recently checked with the Beverly Hills store about a ring I am selling and it retails for $101,000. It is exquisite and the classic center brilliant cut flanked by two baguette diamonds set in platinum. The center stone is 2.5 carats and the two outer ones are .4 carats. F color VVS1. Absolutely breathtaking!

Vegas Long Legs- my grandmother gave me her 2ct round brilliant H VS2 that was purchased in 1964. It was $1200! Now, I had it appraised for 17000! Good investment!

Anyways, DF and I, when we were looking for rings, went to the usual stops (Tiffany, Cartier, etc) but he is not a brand whore and couldnt understand paying so much for a name. I also wanted a 1.75 ct round center with pears on the side. I also wanted excellent quality G or better and VS1+, excellent cut. Tiffany wanted some insane price of I think 30k+. We ended up getting from a diamond dealer in NYC that was a recommendation from a friend. We saved so much money and my ring is gorgeous! He even bought me a necklace with what we saved! But...that said, if you are dreaming of a HW then I would go for it. Find a ring you fall in love with.

Hey ladies! Just wondering . . . starting to think about engagement rings and was trying to figure out some price points before any actual shopping begins . . . with a budget around USD 40K, what type of ring would you be able to get from HW? It's always been my dream to get an HW engagement ring but I don't know how if it's in the budget! Thanks!!

Also if anyone knows what the same budget would pull down @ Van Cleef & Cartier that would be much appreciated (sorry not a Tiffany's fan )

This was an interesting read. Did you ever pick out a ring for $40K back then lvpiggy? $40k was a pretty substantial amount 3 years ago. I could imagine you either going branded or going for a big rock with an unbranded designer with the info here.
