Im sure this topic has been beaten dead somewhere... somewhere I cant find.
I have searched and just want my questions clearly answered.
I have spent hours and hours (and hours) looking at diamonds online. I have made several trips to different stores locally, but my time is limited and all of this has to be done without my girlfriend knowing. I have found dozens of diamonds in my price range with the specs that I have been told to look for.
I have been to Jared''s and they want 700 more for the same diamond I can find on bluenile.com, shenoadiamonds.com, diamondsafe.com, and gemnation.com.
I see a lot of people on here that have bought online... Compared to a physical in-town store, do any online stores offer lifetime guarantees, 0% financing, free cleanings/re-rhodium plating/inspections, etc?
I have heard horror stories about bluenile.com diamonds having mismatched certificates and not allowing returns when they say they do, but Ive heard people talk about them like they are one of the top online go-tos.
This is my huge dilema... Do I buy locally and pay more for a diamond/setting and get the features above, or is there somewhere online that offers all of this?
Please enlighten me.
