On Facet Wire's live tracked data, Frank Darling lists 360 stones with a median of $2,932 ($1,187/ct); MiaDonna lists 232 with a median of $1,175 ($775/ct). Medians mix shapes and sizes — the honest test is the same certified stone at both stores, which is what the table below tracks.

Do the same diamonds appear at both retailers?

Facet Wire matches them spec-for-spec so the gap is visible before you buy: one tracked 1.08 ct natural radiant (E color, VVS2 clarity) currently shows a $6,259 spread — $4,267 at With Clarity versus $10,526 at Blue Nile for matching specs.
