Quick note that a very nice 2ct stone has never cost $200,000.
Not sure who was trying to charge you that much in 2012 or why, but gem diamond prices haven't changed much in the past 30 years, although there was an uptick in the covid/inflationary years, and a reversion to trend more recently.

- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoJewelry store wanted to anchor the price?
- FireBeyond 2y agoEven today, Tiffany will want to charge you $142,000 for a 2ct IF (internally flawless) colorless (D) diamond. Not quite $200K but nonetheless.
- paulcole 2y agoThis is like arguing about somebody saying a car costs $25,000 when you’re talking about a Bentley. It’s expensive because it’s a Bentley not because it’s a car.
- IG_Semmelweiss 2y agoI take your point but theres a still a huge gap to make up for. I went deep on this topic a couple of years before OP' 2012 date. An IF 2ct would not have exceeded ~80k usd. Not from Tiffany but from a national US shop. And the retailer shouldnt have mattered anyway. 80 is orders of magnitude lower than 250k.
- paulcole 2y ago> 80 is orders of magnitude lower than 250k. Well 80k is one order of magnitude smaller than 250k. Remind me again, how many orders of magnitude difference are there between say a Bentley Continental ($242k) and a Tesla Model S ($76k)? Luxury products cost a lot.
