A US-based jeweller has shared the price of the most expensive engagement ring he’s ever sold, leaving netizens utterly astonished. The staggering cost of $175,000 (£137.5k) has sparked debate over the merits of such an extravagant purchase.
The ring features a 7.05-carat oval brilliant-cut diamond, far exceeding the jeweller’s usual scale. The diamond boasts exceptional clarity, with a VS1 grade indicating that it is 100% clean to the naked eye. Its pure white color and highest grades for polish and symmetry further enhance its brilliance.
The jeweller emphasized the importance of considering the diamond’s characteristics, such as color, clarity, cut, polish, and symmetry, rather than focusing solely on carat weight. He explained that even with a flexible budget, there is no need to go above a G color or VS1 clarity, as these grades provide the necessary brilliance and cleanliness.
Viewers took to the comments section to express their amazement and debate the purchase’s justification. Some users questioned the value of spending such a large sum on a piece of jewelry, while others appreciated the jeweller’s expertise in selecting a diamond that met the client’s requirements within their budget.
The jeweller’s disclosure has highlighted the wide range of options available when it comes to choosing an engagement ring and the importance of considering both budget and personal preferences to make an informed decision.
