I remember the last time I invested in a ring,I kept making payment after payment.but it wasnt until I was down to my last quarter,when the ring finally came out!
Probably true for most places but Blue Nile provides an GIA or AGSL report with your diamond. Both are well known, reputable and independant grading labs. They also include an appraisal. I will admit I was somewhat hesitant to make such a large and important purchase without ever seeing the diamond but after visiting some local stores, I knew what I was looking for and Blue Nile came through. The diamond I bought appraised for almost twice what I paid for it.
Good to hear that there are starting to be some reputable dealers on-line. Thanks for the update.
