Internet: Purchasing your engagement ring

EEL Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 12/21/2004 Member Since: 12/12/2004	Hi, I'm reading up on www.diamondcuttersintl.com and I'm very skeptical about buying engagement rings off the internet now. I'm wondering how many of you have purchased your rings through the internet? Did they offer any lifetime warranties and services? I'm looking through the website www.diamond.com has anyone ever purchased anything through them? or www.bluenile.com? Do you guys think purchasing through the jewelr is a wiser choice?? Any advice?? Thanks so much ');" alt="Insert smilie " src="http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/images/smilies/33.gif" align=absMiddle border=0> Confused Eunice

I would have no problems purchasing online. There are too many satisfied customers and safety procedures in place for me to feel weird about it. Plus, I'm a technology generation child, so to me, it's weird to actually have to walk into somewhere to buy something or pay a bill. ;) I believe internet shopping is just as safe, usually cheaper, and you often get better service. And you don't even have to get dressed! "...Why don't they just come right out and say it? 'Diamonds...that'll shut her up!' "

Re the web site you mention, and it's author, Fred Cueller, much has been written about him here; you may want to read for yourself, doing a search in the forum archive. Good shopping!

Most of the vendors offer a reasonable return period and some sort of trade up policy. As far as warranties go, I don 't think that theirs are any better or worse than you'd find in a B and M store. I have purchased a few pieces of jewelry from a small mom-and-pop B&M jeweler. I find them much more willing to stand behind their work and materials. My advice to you if you decide not to purchase online is to deal with an independent jeweler rather than a jewelry store chain.
