Also, the grades are very subjective. While you might look at two diamonds that are the graded identically, depending on the individual grading them, they might be very different in price because one has far more flaws.

DEpointfive0 My congrats to your brother for the committment
. I'm sorry I can't provide more input on the diamond particulars, friend. For what it's worth, each time I do business any amount over $1000 with retailers, I conduct a sit-down with the store manager and specialist at the same time. I am a crude, heartless, uncharacteristically aggressive businessman. I just don't like people trying to pull the rape with my money
.
My only recommendation is to grill your salesman and his boss. Even if you are not a diamond expert, be a "BS" expert and make them sweat. That much money for diamonds should have you at the top of their priority list, as opposed to a "next in line" kind of customer.
