Good Morning everyone from a very cold and frosty Scotland. I have been reading this site almost constantly since finding you all and I am formulating a plan! he he
Once my diamond buying ban is lifted, when that will be who can tell( husband imposed said ban in Dec 2009! lol), I am very tempted to replace my current one carat G/VS1 RB solitaire with something bigger say 1.5 to 1.8 but with a much better cut than I currently have. Actually I would probably prefer to stay within the lower range of my choice of diamonds and concentrate on finding an amazingly cut diamond now that you have all educated me in the power of "The Cut".
I would also like the option of upgrading at a later stage so that would be a big factor in choosing where my diamond would come from.
So to get to the point (sorry) I would love to know the following.
1. If any Uk PS''ers have bought from the Usa and the upgraded in the Usa?
2. Did you do it in person or by post( kwim ?)
3. How did the taxation thing work when sending original stone back to purchase a larger one?
To be honest this post is probably just one of many until I gather enough information to at least get my head around what is possible, so anything else you would like to add or comment would make for very interesting reading to me.
Thank you all once again.
