if stone is insured, do you need USPS insurance?
I''m mailing my wife''s e-ring back to ERD to have it resized. I looked through the archives and everyone recommends getting full-value insurance if you mail it thru USPS registered mail. The ring is covered thru an insurance policy at Jewelers Mutual (which covers accidental losses). Why would I ne... |

thoughts on this Facets men''s wedding band?
I''m thinking of getting this as my wedding band. What do you think- is this a timeless design? Has anyone here ordered the men''s bands off Facets Collection before? http://www.thefacetscollection.com/item.cfm?item_id=3932 |

Are you planning on bringing your engagement ring and band on your honeymoon? If so, will you leave them on at all times? Or take it off for certain activities (going in ocean, etc)? |

Interesting..had no idea WG and plat can damage each other. I asked the ShaneCo saleswoman that exact question and she said it's okay to have both! Just curious..which one is more likely to get damaged? Or will they both be? That James Allen one looks nice but it's $1635. Maybe I can get a custom on... |

need help..she wants me to buy from ShaneCo
Hi all..after months of doing research on Pricescope, I purchased my fiancee an e-ring last fall from Mark at Engagement Rings Direct. She gets great compliments on it, and I''m glad I was able to find such a tremendous value in ERD. Our wedding is 9 weeks away and we are searching for her band. Thi... |

Is there a general guideline about the thickness of the e-ring band vs. the thickness of the wedding band (on a female)? Are they supposed to be similar? |

Thanks for the tips. I''ve heard bike riding on the beach is a common activity in Hilton Head. I was considering doing that and just looking for a quiet spot to propose.

I emailed the seller and told him about the mistake. He asked if I could mark Return to Sender and drop it in a mailbox (it was sent USPS). Will this work? I''ve only used Return to Sender with UPS before. |

bought 1 jewelers loupe; they sent me 2 accidently
Ok it seems that ethical dilemmas are common here lately, so I thought I would throw in mine. I ordered a 10X jewelers loupe off Ebay ($13+$3 shipping) for my E-ring. They sent one to me last week. 2 days later I received another one. I was worried that I accidently ordered 2, but I checked my accou... |

does Jewelers Mutual work with pricescope vendors?
Has anyone used JM in conjunction with vendors like WF, ERD, GOG, JA, etc? They emailed me this statement: "You may use the jeweler of your choice as long as the jeweler is in the United States and has a store front." I''m not really sure if those sites are considered to have a store front. |

Due to the Valentines proposal peak period, I highly doubt you will see lower prices after Xmas. You will probably see lower levels of customer service though, just because vendors are so busy. |

Does your girlfriend insist on a HW ring? If not, spend your $$ more wisely elsewhere. Also, 7.99% is a high rate to pay. Perhaps your parents can give you a loan at 3-5%? |

question about MM to carat stone conversion chart

Date: 8/29/2006 6:34:21 PM Author: diamondseeker2006 The other problem with #1 is that it has a smaller diameter than it should. A 1.5 should have a 7.4mm diameter. That turns me off of #1.

question about the "cut quality search"
There is an "AGS" column in the search results. A lot of GIA graded diamonds have "0" under the AGS column. Does this mean they would definitely qualify for an AGS 0 if AGS had graded it? If so, would you be just as happy with an GIA as an AGS diamond? Also, someone last week posted about a diamond ... |

So in essence, Whiteflash has a lifetime "store credit" return policy? Let''s say you buy an e-ring from them, but don''t plan on upgrading until 10th or 25th anniversary. In this case, since the upgrade is so long away, can you still safely assume the same policy will be in effect? |
