Feedback on diamonds...please

hailey1963 Rough Rock Total Posts: 5 Last Post: 3/13/2006 Member Since: 3/13/2006	I'm just starting the research phase of my diamond search. Can I get some advice regarding the following diamonds from James Allen. I'm looking at this company because I am in the vicinity and would like to be able to "see" the diamond...I don't mind paying extra for the sales tax. This is just a preliminary phase for me. Any feedback on the company would be great too!! #1 http://www.jamesallen.com/diamond.asp?cid=53&item=315331 #2 http://www.jamesallen.com/diamond.asp?cid=53&item=513511 Also, I know many of the diamonds listed on the PS database are virtual. Has anyone purchased a "virtual" stone and what is the overall consensus regarding these diamonds? Are the PS online vendors fairly helpful in weeding out stones that are not up to par or recommending stones that do look good and taking a look at them for you? I'm aware there are costs to the consumer to bring stones in to look at by the vendor. Thank for any and all the help!

There is nothing wrong with a "virtual" stone. But you do want a vender who can call it in and check it out for you. Hopefully one that will weed out the dogs and be honest with you. Yes, you have to pay for this service but I guess it is better than having them mail you a stone site unseen by them.

The numbers are little more "ideal" on the first linked stone, but the second stone is probably really pretty as well. The 2nd stone has a larger table. Some people don't like that, but I don't have issues with larger table stones. My own diamond has a larger table and it's really a stunning stone. You should ask JA to call them in if they don't have them in-house and ask them to offer you their expert opinion side by side. And welcome to PS "Got Diamond? Hey.....Men Wear Diamonds Too!"

I am an educated woman academically, just looking for more advice when it comes to "rocks". kaleigh - your ring is beeoootiful from what I can see of your avatar. Is it a Tiffany? It looks like my mom's Tiffany ring. (Also...as a newbie here, can someone tell me how I respond to an individual post?). Thank you.

Shay37 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,343 Last Post: 8/30/2008 Member Since: 3/2/2004	I, too, like number one. It looks like a lovely stone. I would not throw away #2 if somebody wanted to give it to me either. #1 is my preference of the two. Welcome, and I hope that we can help you. BTW, Kaleigh's ring is a Tiffany. Good call. shay ______________________________My therapist loves me. His name is Brian the Cutter.
