Hi There,

I have recently been doing some online research to find the best place to buy in Engagement ring, I will be heading to Dubai shortly and have found a site that seems pretty good, with good prices and stock etc but I cannot not find any review what so ever about this site or company.

The site is http://dubaiwholesalediamonds.com/

Was wondering if anyone has used or knows anything about this company?

Cheers

Tony

Hi CausNeFTK,
I have not heard of this website, or company.
If you are going to Dubai, I would reccommed trying the gold and diamond park (any regulated Dubai taxi can take you there).
Do research before you go so you know what to ask for and don't buy without a GIA report.
Bear in mind that if you are just seaching for a stone (so you can get it set into a ring on your return to your home country) the vendors may be reluctant to take the stone out of its original GIA plastic box, which can make inspection with a loope a bit difficult.

Happy shopping :wavey:

Dear Tony,
I just can tell you, that I have purchased several items in Dubai in the last few years! Thanks to Pricescope, I already know, what to look for, but at the beginning I also made my mistakes! I can recommend you also the Gold Souk in the Dubai Mall, and if you are there, look for the National Jewelry. I purchased 2 beautiful diamonds from Rajul there. They have also am ASET scope, because I surprised him with one! He was really happy about it, after I showed him, how to use it!
If you are there, just tell them what you want, and they are going to help you!
And just to point out: I am not a trader, I do not even live in Dubai, but in Europe, and this is just a recommendation!

Wholesalers only sell to retailers.

Calling itself a wholesaler while selling to the public tells us they are dishonest and hope you are stupid.
I'd shop elsewhere.

IMO the best place to buy is online.
Whiteflash
Goodoldgold
Briangavindiamonds
Jamesallen

These are a few of the fine online vendors with well-cut diamonds at great prices and with good policies and customer service.

just looked at their "colored stone" jewelry section and it appears they have just taken photos found online of other jewelers stuff and are calling it their own.

this does look kinda shady.

Hello again, have a quick question for anyone that might know, I am looking at the below diamond, it is an F, VS2 and has the cloud inclusion you can see near the center, I've been told the picture is 15x magnification. Is there any chance you would see this with the naked eye?

Cheers

For what it's worth - I've just moved to Dubai from Singapore.

I have, until now, bought many of my diamonds online from Whiteflash, Union Diamond, Blue Nile, etc.

Just for fun, I did a comparison of like-for-like diamonds from Cara Jewellers (one touted by many as the best and most honest here) at the Gold & Diamond Park in Dubai, i.e. same size, colour, clarity plus all the angles/percentages so I was being fair with the comparison.

I found that the online vendor prices were still better for stones of the same specifications.

:eh:

Typically VS2 in a round is eye clean from the face-up view at about 10 inches with overhead lighting to a person with normal vision (or corrected to normal). This generalization starts to break down as the diamond gets large in size, as the size of allowable inclusions in a given grade also increases in a relative way. Judging from the image I would say this diamond should be eye clean, except perhaps to an extremely near-sighted person.

CausNeFTX,

Can you tell us what lab graded the diamond as F VS2?

My friend's (now) husband purchased a stunning diamond engagement ring from http://www.aussiemikes.org/ Shop #56, Mezzanine Floor, Gold Land Building Deira, Dubai.
Many of the military blokes purchase from here on their way home from deployment and it's considered trustworthy but I would definitely haggle!

If you paid by Credit Card, you should be protected through the Terms and Conditions. You should be able to ring them and ask them to do a chargeback if the company (or any company, I believe) have failed to provide the services or goods you have paid for.
