Latest Vintage Piece
1.20ct. VS2-F natural diamond with GIA report 2.6gr. 14kt. sz. 4 3/4. $5,970.00 CAD. 101-00623
People often ask us how much do lab-grown diamonds cost. Well that really depends on where you buy them. Despite what online sources and retail stores are selling them for, the truth is they only cost around 2% of what an equivalent natural diamond does (at a wholesale level). Just to give you idea of just now cheap lab-grown diamond are, we just did a search for a lab-grown diamond the same as our estate natural and found 9 examples the same or bigger and better for under $183.00 USD!!! This is our regular retail price plus shipping.
They are so cheap they really have become a separate and distinct market from natural diamonds. It is thought that natural diamonds are between 1 to 3 billion years old and can take millions of years to form deep within the earth. The majority of modern lab-grown diamonds on the other hand are made in just a few days in factories in China and India. We are happy to show you both natural or lab-grown diamond options if you are thinking of buying, but our hearts will always hold a special place for the miracle of a natural diamond.
Our latest estate natural diamond is this very good quality 1.20 carat pear shaped brilliant cut of very nice VS2-F quality.
This ring is under a year old and is in like new condition. The GIA report was produced exactly one year ago to the day.
The American made setting is thin and delicate made in finger size 4 1/2. It has a very fashionable skinny shank measuring just 1.8mm wide and contains 18 tiny round brilliant cut natural diamonds of SI-GH quality weighing a combined 0.15 carat.
This ring can easily be sized up a few sizes if you have a more average sized finger. It will compliment any wedding/anniversary ring with a flat edge, no need to get an expensive custom made ring to match. While natural diamonds like this have seen pricing pressure in recent years they don’t appear to be going anywhere. Natural diamonds are very expensive to find and extract, new diamond mines are not coming on stream because of this. As long as there is demand for natural diamonds there are very good opportunities to purchase them for excellent values right now, especially if you consider an estate diamond. This high quality natural estate diamond ring is priced not much more than what many stores are selling lab-grown versions for. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers always offers true value on everything we offer. This ring is a great example of that for the estate price of $5,970.00 CAD. Stock #101-00623.
