I'm fairly new to the diamond and jewellery sector lol. I was lookinga t some rings for my bday. I went to a store and found two i liked, but there was a huge gap in caret weight but not much in price. both wg 18 k
1st had 2 small diamonds totaling .13, the were tension set on an angle, the band was matte on the left and shiny on the right. With current 'sale' (i think the price was inflated to be reduced) it is Au $980. They also said they do cash discounts but its not very much.
the 2nd ring was two small brushed bands of wg, equally distanced around was 8 diamonds (totaling .5) in a tension set, like wide spaced eternity ring. The price for this is Au $1070 they SA gave me an extra 5% of because it was the right fit ring, again they will offer a cash discount on top. obviously for the price gap this one has more value, but is it still overpriced I'm not familiar with what is good and bad pricing with diamonds?
TIA
