steve62384 Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 12/18/2003 Member Since: 11/30/2002	Hi, My partner and I have recently set up an internet site selling diamonds in the UK. We have a long way to go in the UK to come anywhere near you Americans. There has been some bad press in the UK recently about buying diamonds over the internet and I was thinking of replying to some of this bad press. I was therefore wondering if anyone can tell me what % of diamond sales in the US are via the internet? Many thanks Steve

When this article came out there was a noticable drop in enquiries!

We have sold to many UK customers who have felt very safe wiring large amounts to our company. It may just take you some time to break into the culture of the British buyer. Good luck!
