Hi, First of all, let me tell you that I'm a french person. When I read the information on this website, sometime I understand, sometime when the language is technical, I don't understand... ![]() I do not know if I have the permission to speak about this subject but I take a chance. I do not have much money and I would like to have a beautiful diamond. When I go on Ebay, I see diamonds at very low prices. What do I risk? Which councils can you give me to avoid I lost my money? I always dream that a day I would have also beautiful jewels as those I see in the forum "Show me the ring". I find these women lucky to have of so beautiful things to carry. I am afraid of to do me to have, I have so few money and I would not want to throw it in the air. Regards |

Hi stci! Please, don't buy from ebay. Most people have bad luck that do, it is NOT worth it. If you don't mind telling us your budget, we could maybe help you find a nice diamond from a vendor online.

Someone who is more knowledgeable will give you a better idea... but that's way to good to be true. A D VS2 (which is later listed as a VS2/SI1) at that size should be around 5K. JMO.

Try this diamond: http://www.whiteflash.com/hearts_arrows/A-Cut-Above-H-A-cut-diamond-116854.htm With this setting: http://www.whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/Styles/Solitaire/4-Prong--Tiffany--Style---14k-Gold_609.htm The ebay deal sounds too good to be true.

OK, I read through things, even though I still would have told you not to do it. Colorkitty is right, that price IS too good to be true. An average cut pear should cost somewhere around 5000.00, and that's not counting the ring. There are so many other reasons I could list on why not to buy, but please, just trust me, this is not the way to buy a ring. I know how much you want one, but you need to go through someone REPUTABLE. That is so important!! I would suggest saving up some more, and then we'll help you find a beautiful ring! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

I really like marquise but round is ok too! I want largest possible but I know very well that my budget is very small. We cannot make miracle as in the advertisements of Ebay!

Stci, Do you live in the USA or would you need international shipping? That is something to think about also . . . because if you don't live in the U.S. . . . it will cost more in tarrifs and shipping.

I come from Quebec Canada. I know shipping will cost more and I have to think of duty and taxes too! "would you have the diamond set there, or buy the setting here too? " Yes, I want buy the setting here. I want a complete ring if it's possible. How much for the setting?

I looked at the ebay listing that you posted a link to. I would be very suspicious of such a seller for the following reasons: 1. There is no report copy shown from the appraiser Je me méfierais très d'un tel vendeur pour les raisons suivantes : 1. Il n'y a aucune copie de rapport montrée de l'expert

Please do a search here about people who have gotten ripped off from ebay before considering that option. It's really a nightmare out there... It's definitely possible to find a very nice ring for 1k. If you have craving for a bigger ring consider buying from a company that has a good upgrade policy.
