So, I found what I believe was a fabulous deal today at a B&M chain store. The thought of buying a diamond from a chain store had never even crossed my mind, however when this original $4169 ring came up to $713 (tax included) I felt like I would have been crazy not to purchase it. Heck, the gal selling it to me was so shocked at the price it came up in the register that she had the manager come over and approve the price. However, there were no specs although it was retailing as a "1 ct solitaire". There was no certification the store had on file for it, but there is something engraved on the girdle that I can''t make out. I did have her diamond test it for me, just to make sure it was real. Plus, there''s a 90 day full return period in case I change my mind.
I had done quite a bit of research on round diamonds previously, but zilch on any of the other cuts of diamonds. I believe this is a radiant, but I''m hoping someone can vouch for that. Also, I checked it over w/ the loupe and didn''t see any glaring carbon or cloud spots, but I''m just a lamen.
I''m hoping some of you might be able to spot some problems w/ the diamond, but unless there''s something crazy wrong with it (like it might crack any moment) then I''m thinking of having it reset as a pendant. (Any great suggestions for pendants would also be appreciated).
Thanks everyone!
Oh, and I''ve got quite a few pics that are right at the 100kb threshold, so sorry for the large picture sizes.
