I am considering purchasing a leo from the dreaded mall chain store.
But, as a novice buyer trying to make his girlfriend of 5 years happy, I am willing to spend 6 grand on a ring.
I know I can get a better deal on the internet, than a .98 ct SI1 F in color with very good symmetry and good pollish.
but internet diamonds don''t have a guarantee on the ring itself do they?
I can''t afford to buy a nice diamond only to have it fall out 6 months later.
I am really liking the idea that Kay jewelers will replace the diamond with equal or greater value diamond
if anything should happen to the ring.
I have read all of the threads on the leo diamond, and I know I am paying more for a "Name Brand", but the one I am looking at does appear to have more brilliance.
I guess my main questions are: Is it worth it to pay the mark up price on a mall diamond simply for the guarantee?
and Is it worth it to pay 1200$ more for a leo diamond, or should I put that 1200 toward a larger brilliant round diamond of equal quality?
