I have found several online stores that say they are liscensed dealers of Artcarved and their prices are much cheaper than the jewelery store in my area that carries Artcarved. I was looking at a set that I would have to buy a center diamond for. I was wondering if anyone knows how reputable any of these sites are before I blindly give them my money. SeaofDiamonds.com GoldandGems.com BillBarnes.com JRJewelers.com Are the savings really too good to be true or is it a really good deal? Which one is best for diamonds? I'm looking for a round or princess cut, .4 carat and beyond that I know nothing about diamonds. Can you help me???

You could also google and see if you come up with any comments on those websites. ~~~Thanks to PS, my wants far exceed my budget!~~~

I was curious about the online sites I had listed. I was wondering if anyone had ever ordered from any of them or heard anything about them. I was going to try saving money by ordering online.

Even online store has a physical Headquarter, an office, and from there the zip code, I have checked, these stores are listed as their license vendor.

Engagement Ring Expert Rough Rock Total Posts: 31 Last Post: 9/4/2009 Member Since: 8/20/2009	If each vendor is an authorized retailer of that design firm, you are probably okay, the key is to contact the retailer and if you get great customer service, then you're in good shape, but if they delay in responding for some time, move on to another one. The key in rings is to make sure you have the proper finger size, and also you'll need to ensure that the center diamond you want goes into the ring properly. Ideally, each setting would be custom made for the measurements of the center diamond and finger size but you may end up getting something they have in stock and are just sizing for you.
