Never thought I'd say this -
Still in a little shock and awe right now.
I think we purchased a diamond !
First - thanks to all of you in this forum who reply to us newbies as we ask the same dumb questions over and over. For those of you who research INSANELY when making a purchase - it's nice to know that I am not alone! I am appreciative of your experience and hope I can lend some when the time comes.
Ok - here's the shocker!!! Buying a diamond was a GREAT experience!!
Never ever did I expect this. I expected mediocre service, haggling, bad customer service and having to fight tooth and nail to get something that I did want to pay for.
(sorry - trying to get new cell phone from AT&T right now may be clouding my perspective)
You guys here are the best. The information on this site is invaluable. The vendors that post information on their respective sites also contribute greatly to making me feel that I had enough information to a) understand what I was buying, b) know all the caveats and possible trade "tricks" and c) be smart enough to walk out if I needed to.
After seeing the stones in person - it just reinforced the information that they gave to us either via the website or e-mail. I would feel TOTALLY comfortable purchasing from them site unseen - based on that information alone - PLUS their great policies as far as appraisals, etc. Me... yes... I did want to "SEE" them in person. But they were exactly as described. To the "T".
Ok, sorry about gushing about great customer service. You don't get much these days.
Soooo - hopefully in the next day or so we'll be getting a:
Round
1.501
F Color (W.O.W. I was going for an 'I' but soon to be the best fiance in the world said... hey- that one just looks better
)
SI2 - Thank you MARA, Canadiangrrl, aljdewey and the others that said SI2's are just fine!! They are!
Rates a ex/ex/ex/vg and total score of 1 on the Pricescope's HCA.
And it looks beauuutiful!
Now, all I have to do is to get Johnathan to *hint* that it would be a greeeat xmas gift when fiance pics it up
! Did I mention that might be ready tomorrow?! (sorry... customer service thing again).
Otherwise I will just have to wait impaitently.... IS THERE ANOTHER DISCUSSION BOARD FOR THAT?
I'll see if I can sneak it out for a few pics or two
AGAIN a big HUGE thanks to all of you!!!!!!!!
