Anyone hear of these guys?

Any opinions?
Found a few diamonds I liked but never heard of them.
I am new to this fourm so please go easy on me if this is the wrong place to post this.
Thanks

I''ve never heard of them. But that said, it''s a pretty silly marketing strategy considering that most diamond vendors sell a lot more "flawed" diamonds than "perfect" ones.

I''d stick to some of the more well known vendors. Jon at GOG, Brian Gavin Diamonds, and High Performance Diamonds all sell a wide array of stones including "imperfect" ones.

Just looked at the site, the prices are quite competitive. However they don''t give much information away about the diamond so you can''t tell if it''s a good cut on the HCA (Holloway cut advisor)

Try there:

They seem to have very few AGS or GIA stones with very little information available to the consumer.

Thanks for responses.
Here is my favorite diamond.
1.23ct AGS Ideal g VS2
Cut Grade Ideal
Depth % 60.9 %
Table % 57 %
Symmetry Ideal
Polish Ideal
Girdle Thickness Thin to Medium
Culet Size None
Fluorescence None
Dimensions 6.95x6.92x4.22 mm
Price is $8006.00.
Actually there were 2-3 similar AGS diamonds I was considering but this was about 10% less.
Almost seems too good to be true.
I emailed them and was told diamond could be sent to me for 48 hour inspection.
Anyone know a good appraiser in Houston, TX who could verify the diamond matches the cert?
Thanks
Rhonda
