I have decided on the diamond described below but have a question about how I should buy it. Although I have searched many places, this diamond I found is on 47th street in NYC and the seller, who "seems" very trustworthy, doesn''t offer an unconditional guarantee... just a money back if it doesn''t match the certificate. I live in Boston and am wondering if I should push the unconditional money back issue or rather I should get an independent appraiser(I''ve seen Justin Krall''s name mentioned) to look at the diamond there. And I assume I should request a money back guarantee in writing before sending money even though it is a brick and mortar business? Reading the 1 ct ebay saga and seeing that he is still selling is making me even more paranoid. Thanks,
Sam
