Am I crazy to do it all online?
Im looking for at a 25k +/- budget with out the setting: I think my goals are similar to most others..... biggest, most sparkle, most wow! Ive been reading all day. Ive come up with the following critera: 2.5-2.6 carats H/I clarity S2 or better (clean to naked eye) excellent - ideal cut Im tempted to do all my shopping online and even pull the trigger without entering a store. I have a novice's eye. I wont be able to really discern too much when it gets close. Online I know what Im getting I can look at the certs and i can post the details of the stones here for the pros to look at. Its important to me that I get good value. That i get the best stone within my budget. I understand I wont be able to immediately sell it and scratch my purchase but value is huge. I have a bunch of people who know "guys" but what would I gain from meeting or purchasing from one of these connections? the price may even be worse. It seems like id get an education but in the end not purchase from them. I suppose I should give them a chance to match a price I find from an online retailer. so far ive come up with: http://www.eternitydiamonds.com/dia...&ref=pricescope http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/...ond-1423212.asp basically its either H S2 vs J S1 the virtual loupe is scary on james allen! looking at the AGS report for the second stone i see a lot of wisps. other contenders: http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/...ond-1328388.asp http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/...ond-1402611.asp http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/...ond-1376636.asp http://www.eternitydiamonds.com/dia...&ref=pricescope im beginning to get to the point where my head is spinning. i have a lot of stones that all seem very similar. thanks so much. |
