I'm in the market for a diamond engagement ring. Yellow diamond, to be exact, either a single stone or with two white side stones. I've shopped a bit, but not extensively, and gotten prices ranging from $13,000 to $25,000 depending on the stone, etc. My question is this: how much is the price negotiable? If the dealer says $21k, what can/should I actually expect to pay? Is it looked down upon if he says "21" and I say, "I can give you 18"? How flexible are these prices? 5%? 10%? not at all?
I'm looking mainly at smaller independent dealers, not places like Tiffany's or Harry Winston, if that makes a difference.
